Homemade Toothpaste Recipe

A few years ago I became aware that fluoride toothpaste wasn't something that I personally wanted to use. So I began looking into fluoride-free alternatives and not only were they pretty expensive they were sub-par and just didn't leave me feeling "fresh." So, I began researching for a way to make toothpaste and this is what I came up with and have been using for years now.

Ingredients:
1 part salt
3 parts baking soda
Vegetable glycerin
Peppermint essential oil

Directions:
Mix salt and baking soda well in a container. Add vegetable glycerin until the consistency is that of tooth paste. Add JUST A DROP OR TWO of essential oil and mix it well.

Note: Please be aware that it is very easy to over do the essential oil! Remember to start with less and give it a test!
