Homemade Coconut Oil Toothpaste Featured on CoconutOil.com - Delicious Obsessions This summer, my recipe for homemade coconut oil toothpaste was featured on CoconutOil.com and Health Impact News. I use this toothpaste all the time and love it. Now that the weather is cooling off, the coconut oil sets up a little firmer than I’d like. I encourage you to read the full article here, where I discuss the reason behind the ingredients that I chose for my toothpaste. This recipe is simple to make and only takes a few minutes to mix together. Equipment Needed Glass bowl Whisk or fork for mixing Airtight container for storing Ingredients makes approx. ¾ cup If your sea salt is course, you can run it through a coffee grinder to make it powdery. In a glass bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until completely combined. Because there are no ingredients in the toothpaste that will “go bad” so-to-speak, this product will keep for a long time, but making it in small batches is best. Note: Some people are concerned about the coconut oil clogging their drains.
On dental effects of brushing teeth with MMS (chlorine dioxide or 'Miracle Mineral Supplement' [Jim V. Humble]): healing abscessed teeth, infected gums and pyorrhea and fixing loose teeth Jim V. Humble, the "man behind MMS" and author of the book “The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century” said in a "Project Camelot" interview available on youtube (transcription by Healing Teeth Naturally): Question: "In terms of the list of the diseases which MMS has been shown to be efficacious against... you're talking malaria, Aids, cancer, ... what else?" To further introduce you to MMS and its possible benefits in teeth and mouth care (I've seen a well-known alternative cancer "health authority" state that he only uses MMS for his teeth while another person stated that "MMS will knock out all tooth decay in a week"), here is an excerpt from the book “The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century”, Part 2, 2nd Edition, by Jim V. Humble. On dental uses and effects of brushing teeth with MMS: healing of abscessed teeth, infected gums & pyorrhea and fixing loose teeth (excerpted from The Miracle Mineral Supplement of the 21st Century, Part 2) Note: toothpaste with MMS
Coconut Oil America's Best Source for Buying Coconut Oil How to Make Lotion Bars- Easy Recipe I’ve finally reached a point where I make all of our toiletry products by hand. I’ve saved a lot of money doing this with bulk ingredients, and I love that I’m not putting any chemicals on my family’s skin. (Finally even replaced my make-up with homemade versions and more on that coming soon!) I’ve made lotion in the past, but was excited to stumble on this great variation, which is solid at room temperature and looks like a bar of soap. There are endless variations on this lotion bar recipe too. These are fun presents, and could be made for baby shower gifts, birthdays, Christmas gifts or for pregnant moms to use to prevent stretch marks. The Ingredients: This recipe can be adjusted to make any quantity that you’d like. How to Make: Combine all ingredients (except essential oils if using) in a double boiler, or a glass bowl over a smaller saucepan with 1 inch of water in it. Turn the burner on and bring water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the essential oils.
Coconut Oil Toothpaste Sodium fluoride is alleged to protect our teeth, but it's actually a poisonous chemical that causes cancer, damages the nervous system, and even creates weak teeth and bones. Fluoride is common in rat poison, and the German Nazis added it to prisoners' water - because it's known to placate people and make them easier to control. If you haven't already done so, now is the time to dump your fluoride toothpaste. Coconut oil is the perfect base for your natural homemade toothpaste, because it's powerful, natural antibacterial and antifungal - so it works to kill harmful bacteria in your mouth while you brush. Coconut oil is excellent for your gums, and brushing with it regularly can eliminate bleeding and sore gums. Another key ingredient in homemade toothpastes is baking soda. To make your own toothpaste, just use a fifty/fifty ratio of coconut oil to baking soda.
Strengthen Tooth Enamel Through Re-Mineralization In order to get the teeth enamel to re-mineralize there are lots of factors going on which makes the topic quite complex. Dentists will tell you that enamel can't actually regrow. The enamel itself if dead, and is created by special cells when the tooth is formed. However, your enamel is like your nails. Although they are dead cells, external factors such as sunshine (Vitamin D) and diet can make your nails grow quicker and thicker. Tooth enamel is composed of 96% mineral content and is the strongest substance in the human body. Enamel can be strengthened by a process called remineralization - which is basically adding minerals to the enamel matrix through the saliva. To avoid ever getting cavities you need to stop the process or at least slow down the de-mineralization process and increase the re-mineralization process. It get tricky, because if you don't get both right, it's like filling up a leaky bucket. Add foods that are high in Vitamin K2, Vitamin C and Vitamin D, to your diet.
Etsy Updates Policies on Cosmetics Making Claims - Soap Queen Etsy recently updated their policy on a variety of products that many Soap Queen readers and Bramble Berry customers make: products to help with acne (usually containing Tea Tree Essential Oil), anti-wrinkle creams and serums (often containing luscious ingredients like Tamanu Oil or Seabuckthorn Extract), diaper rash creams (often containing zinc oxide) and anything making anti-itch statements (often with additives like calamine or calendula-infused oils). This move has caused some confusion and frustration in the Etsy marketplace. Bottom line: follow the current, existing FDA guidelines for labeling cosmetics and you will be in compliance with Etsy’s new policy.
