Homemade Toothpaste Recipe
Ingredients To Use:
Baking Soda
Did you know that many toothpaste companies use baking soda in their toothpaste formula…?
This is because Baking Soda acts as a cleaning agent that helps removes plaque and adds extra whitening power to the toothpaste, as it helps lift off stains from your teeth.
However, baking soda lacks fluoride, and will not be able to give you any enamel protection.
Cold Pressed Coconut oil
Coconut oil is known to be a magical cure for many tooth-related problems, and often takes the place of one of the healthiest oils to use for cooking or direct consumption.
Coconut oil has antibacterial properties and can protect against bacteria buildup in your mouth, it helps in defending against tooth decay and gum-related diseases.
Regular use of coconut oil can be really beneficial for conditioning, and polishing your tooth, and also helpful in regenerating the natural enamel of your teeth.
The organic cold pressed Virgin coconut oil is extracted from coconut milk through a centrifugal process, without the application of heat, as this retains the color, flavor, and nutritional benefits of the coconut milk.
The cold pressed coconut oil is preferred over the regular coconut oil due to its numerous benefits right from oral consumption of it to the usage of it for the treatment of scars, hair, and skin.
Common Salt
Common salt is widely used for cooking, it contains healthy minerals that act as a detox for your teeth and helps in releasing the naturally accumulated toxins from the body.
Many toothpaste commercials use salt as their main focus to attract customers because the benefits of salt are so widely known.
Cardamom
Cardamom is a spice with an intense, slightly sweet flavor that some people compare to mint, and is helpful for lowering your blood pressure, due to its antioxidant and diuretic properties.
Many Toothpaste Companies use cardamom in their toothpaste as it is a natural sweetener and adds a minty flavor to the toothpaste.
Method for mixing the paste
Take half a Tablespoon of cold pressed coconut oil, and make sure it is cold and white as this adds to the gel like consistency.
One spoon of baking soda, also make sure the quantity is right as this ingredient is quite strong when used for cleaning.
Mix the above mentioned ingredients thoroughly until the baking soda has dissolved into the thick oil completely.
Now it’s time to add some salt into the mixture and mix thoroughly until you get a thick paste-like consistency once it is done.
Crush some Cardamom using a bowl and a pestle, and add the seeds of the cardamom to the paste and gently mix the paste, once this is done now your paste is ready.
You can use this paste 2 to 3 times a day and not more than three, as using this more than three times a day could have negative effects.
