Ingredients
-
1/4 cup baking soda
2 tablespoons clay (kaolin)
3/4 teaspoon gum paste (use Myrrh Gum Powder, the computer did not recognize this)
1/2 teaspoon emu oil (or any other quality carrier oil Almond, Jojoba, Olive)
15 drops peppermint oil
15 drops tea tree oil
1 teaspoon glycerine (optional)
1/4 teaspoon vitamin E (or caplet squeezed out)
Preparation
-
Combine all the ingredients and put it in a 4 oz or 125 ml container.
To use: The product will seperate, so with the end of your toothbrush or a chop stick, stir the ingredients together. Brush your teeth as usual. You would probably get a longer shelf life if you do not put your toothbrush directly into the pot because of all the bacterial that is on the brush.
Myrrh Gum Powder: help with removing the plaque from the teeth.
Emu Oil: This oil has the reputation of many healing benefits. It is expensive but worth every penny if you are serious about getting into making quality products.
Tea Tree Oil: The properties are Antibiotic, Antifungal, Antiseptic, Antiviral, Detoxifying, Insecticide, Stimulant and its uses: Age Spots, Athlete's Foot, Boils, Burns, Catarrh, Colds, Corns, Cystitis, Dandruff, Fungal, Fungal Infections, Immune System Booster ,Itching (from insect bites, chicken pox, etc.), Sunburn, Warts.
Vitamin E; Besides the healing aspect of Vitamin E, this also works as a preservative.
Perxoide could be used, but use in a small dose (1/4 tsp to 1 tsp).
Because of the lack of stronger preservatives, this paste does have a shelf life of approximately a year. If it looks \"off\" discard and make up a fresh batch.
