What can you make from Trace Mineral Drops, coconut oil, xylitol, baking soda and essential oils?
Basically five ingredients
Mix them together in a bowl
You have toothpaste! Yes make your own. This is not my mixture it is
Dr. Axe Homemade Baking Soda Toothpaste mixture
source. My first time making and will update at a later date as to how it works!
I really like the Container: GoToob I found on Amazon. I like these very much so does this young lady in video review here. She also tells of great travel packing with these and more items.
**My personal note: It can be a little tricky to put your homemade toothpaste into this but it can be done as you see in my pictures. Take a small spoon, dip up just enough to put into opening, squeeze and thump bottle bottom on counter it will suck most of the toothpaste on down. It was kind of fun actually my grandson had fun squeezing it too!
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons baking soda
- 1 tablespoon xylitol powder
- 20 drops cinnamon or clove essential oil
- 20 drops peppermint essential oil
- toothpaste tube
Directions
1. Put all ingredients into bowl and mix well together. (You can also use a food processor for this)
2. Remove homemade toothpaste and store in glass jar with a lid. If it starts to dry out add a bit of water.
**Personal note: I don't know why he changed to a glass jar but I put mine into tube. You can make your own choice.
This is by no means a review of the mixture.
I'll update later as to how Dr. Axe's Toothpaste works!
At this moment I like the way it makes my teeth feel.
** note: I will also update the way it performs in this GoToob container.
It it doesn't do well in it that may be the reason for the change to the glass jar in Dr. Axe's mixture.
