Activated Tooth Powder
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons bentonite clay
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda / baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1½ teaspoons powdered peppermint leaves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- ¾ teaspoon activated charcoal powder
- ½ teaspoon clove powder
- 1-2 teaspoons organic stevia leaf powder (depending on how sweet you prefer)
- 30-60 drops of peppermint essential oil
For a child-friendly version, omit the peppermint essential oil above and add:
- 1 teaspoon powdered peppermint leaves (in addition to peppermint leaves added above)
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon powder (in addition to the cinnamon powder added above)
- 10-15 drops of cinnamon essential oil
Instructions
- Grind the peppermint leaves in a high-speed blender or bullet mixer until completely powdered. You don’t want peppermint leaves stuck between your teeth after brushing.
- Add all the ingredients to an air-tight glass jar and stir gently to mix properly.
- Store in the bathroom and use in morning and evening. You can moisten your toothbrush and dip into the powder, or use a small wooden spoon to place the powder on your toothbrush and keep moisture out of the jar. Brush as normal.
Notes
For added tooth-whitening benefits, dip your toothbrush into coconut oil prior to adding the tooth powder and brush as normal.
