A wonderful toothpaste





Wonderful toothpaste
1 1/2 C Coconut Oil
4 Tbs Baking Soda
1/2 C. Redmond Clay
1 Tbs Neem Oil
10 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil
10 drops Clove Essential Oil
20 drops Sweet Orange Oil
20 drops Peppermint Oil
Gently melt about 1 1/2 cups of coconut oil in a small saucepan over the stove. Melting coconut oil in a microwave oven is not recommended, as it can get very, very hot. It does not take a lot of heat to melt the oil. As soon as 1/3 of the oil is melted, take off the heat and continue to stir, the rest will melt soon after.
Transfer the oil into a medium size bowl.
Baking Soda does not dissolve in oil, so just stir in until there are no lumps

Add 1 Tbs of Neem Oil. Stir well

add the 1/2 C. Redmond Clay

Stir until there are no lumps. A whisk makes this step easier.

Add the essential oils . Count your drops in, then stir. You can adjust your drops to your liking, but keep in mind that the clove oil is very strong, compared to the others.

Pour mixture into a lidded container.

Mixture will harden as it reaches room temp
Brush your teeth
