Homemade toothpaste success!!
Bennonite Toothpaste!!
Well we are 2 weeks into our homemade toothpaste and we are loving it. It is fantastic!! We also have given alot of our toothpaste to friends and family who are enjoying it as well. It is more refreshing and healthier for you then traditional toothpaste! It looks nasty but our breath and teeath are fresher and whiter. Below is the recipe... : )
Bennonite Toothpaste:
Take a handful of cinnamon sticks
1/4c whole cloves
1/4c stevia leaves
3c. water
Put all of this in a pan and bowl for 30min. (Your house will smell amazing!) After that has boiled for awhile strain it. Either strain it in a cheese cloth or a paper towel. I didnt have cheese cloth so the next best thing is a papertowl. You just want the liquid. After that is done you will need:
1T Celtic sea salt
1T baking soda
Dissolve into above liquid. (it is ok if its to salty..next time use less salt.)
To thicken your toothpaste you need bennonite clay. You can find this at any health food store. Usually in their bulk food area. You will need 1/2 lb. I recommended buying extra just in case you need extra. You add enough to make it thick. Put your toothpaste in a jar or a plastic container. You can not have your toothpaste touch any metal. The clay will absorb the metal and thast would be terrible to brush your teeth with.
If you have any questions just ask. : )
