Why spend $5 a tube for natural, fluoride-free toothpastes? Try this recipe instead. The Lambies have given it their approval.
Homemade Toothpaste
2 Tbsp coconut oil
3 Tbsp baking soda
1/2 small packet of stevia, or liquid drops to taste
Mix well, then flavor with:
5 or more drops peppermint oil
OR
5 or more drops spearmint oil
OR
1 tsp cinnamon + 3-4 drops clove oil
I bought some anise oil. We are going to try that next time. I store mine in a wide mouth food container with a tiny little samplespoon I snagged from Target.

I need specifics on Peppermint / spearmint oil. I went to Whole Foods and they said I wasn't suppose to ingest essential oils, so instead I got Herb Pharm's Peppermint Spirits which is listed as Essential Oil and Whole Leaf Extract. Was that the right thing?
Yeah, I'm with Dakota, is it really ok to ingest peppermint oil? I'm thinking it must be, but also have heard that there is a very short list of essential oils that it's alright to take internally.
BTW - LOVE THIS BLOG!!! Post more. PLEASE.
