    Homemade Toothpaste

    After yesterdays deoderant recepie I started to think about other products that we rely on that we could be making for ourselves rather than shopping at large high street outlets. Here is a recepie that I found for toothpaste. It would seem to be a very popular recepie so perhaps you have tried it already...let us know what you think.

    Ingredients

    • sodium bicarbonate
    • salt
    • water
    • glycerine
    • peppermint oil (optional)

     

    • Mix three parts baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) with one part table salt (sodium chloride).
    • Add three teaspoons of glycerine for every 1/4 cup of dry mixture.
    • Add enough water to make a thick paste. If desired, a few drops of peppermint oil may be added to improve the taste.
    • Apply and use just as you would any other toothpaste. Store unused toothpaste at room temperature in a covered container.

    Take care
