IS THE HEALTH OF YOUR MOUTH RELATED TO YOUR OVERALL BODY HEALTH?
Of course it is. Your mouth is the gateway to your inner body. Everything you put in your mouth then travels to the rest of your body. When we treat our mouth well, that wellness travels downstream.
I've made this recipe using coconut oil which when used in toothpaste, to me, acts akin to oil pulling as you don't swallow the toothpaste. You are dispersing of any bacteria in your mouth and we all have bacteria in this area. See my post on coconut oil which explains the many benefits of this natural product. I have also added baking soda which has just enough grit to help clean your teeth without damaging them. Peppermint essential oil is also used so give your mouth an overall refreshing and clean feeling :)
This is a quick and easy recipe you can make quickly at home for the whole family. It's time to bush up on your mouth health :)
INGREDIENTS:
3 drops DoTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil (order here)
3 Tablespoons organic, cold pressed coconut oil, I used Nutiva brand
3 Tablespoons baking soda
UTENSILS:
small mixing bowl
spoon
glass jar for storage
DIRECTIONS:
Place baking soda and coconut oil in small mixing bowl.
Add 3 drops of DoTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil.
Mix ingredients until smooth. If it is hot where you are the mixture will be runny, that's ok.
Pour mixture in glass container.
It's done and it's that simple !!!
Enjoy the refreshing, cooling and clean feel of your mouth :)
Keep in cool area out of sun so it will set but not be too hard to work with. It is ok if it gets hot and it a bit runny. It won't spoil by being left out. Keep an air tight cover on so it doesn't dry out.
Ratio of coconut oil to baking soda 1:1 - if you want to make a larger batch, increase in 1:1 ratio of both and add a few more drops of doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil.
Optional: add 3 drops of doTERRA OnGuard Essential Oil or 3 drops of DoTERRA Frankincense Essential Oil.
Make it a family event and get creative by getting the whole family in on the fun by decorating their own container - see video here.
Sending you much joy and abundance,
