Re: Teeth, Cavities, Care etc.

Clay alone will get teeth clean but I like the smooth feeling pastes leave so I add the extras, From an old thread titled" Instead of toothpaste I use......" http://www.gentlechristianmothers.co...thpaste+silica #25 ive never really looked into glycerin. so i had never heard of that before. thats interesting. you made me break out my old list of things that i was gonna use to make my own paste. From Tom's childrens gel toothpaste, glycerin is used as a moisturizer in their toothpaste (from vegetable oils). I'll just use olive oil instead of glycerin. It also has: sorbitol-listed as another moisturizer (dont need that) water-consistency xylitol-flavor (i would add a little if we werent sensitive to it, dont need that) hydrated silica- thats clay for mild abrasion(i have calcium bentonite clay that ill use) grape extracts-flavor ( maybe a little honey) xantham gum-suspending agent (who cares if i have to mix it before we put it on our brushed, dont need that) sodium lauryl sulfate-dispersant (says its derived from coconut oil, i might add some in to see if it improves the texture, dont need that) So to make a toothpaste equivelant to toms childrens gel toothpaste: oil water clay ive come full circle Ive been using that ever since the thread which was 2009 i think oil-coconut oil or olive oil water-distilled if im making a big batch clay-food grade calcium bentonite clay (to thicken it and give it a nice taste I have used raw honey, I really like that combo and I have also taken weleda toothpaste and added that to the mix) There's really no measured amounts, it just depends on how much of the ingredients i have handy. It takes hardly any clay to make a difference so dont be worried about having to put a lot in. A little goes a long way. |
