Pearly Whites

What a crazy weekend! I traveled back to Iowa to see clients and was able to meet up with a good friend. Always fun catching up with her since we connect well on many levels! We ended up making toothpaste. LOL! (This a different recipe from the last batch I made) 

Ingredients:

1 ½ TBSP bentonite clay  (You may need to add 1 TBSP more during the summer because the coconut oil can get melty)

2 TBSP distilled water

1 TBSP coconut oil, melted 

⅓ tsp Real Salt Sea Salt or FINE salt (If you have soft enamel or sensitive teeth you may want to skip this)

½ tsp baking soda (You could also double this in the summer if your coconut oil gets melty)

5-10 drops of Young Living Thieves Essential Oil 

Mix all ingredients together and store in a small mason jar or glass container. 

Bentonite Clay:

-Absorbs toxins and removes it from your body. It's actually nature's detox agent. People (and animals) ingest clay for an internal cleanse.

-Enhances gum repair 

-Decreases cavities by increasing the remineralizing of the teeth. 

-Full of nutrients and negatively charged ions that truly clean your teeth.
