| Crystal’s Tooth Powder ¼ to 1/3 cup baking soda ½ tsp. To 2 tsp. Myrrh – this is an acquired taste. I would really recommend that you start out with a very small amount and increase as you get use to its’ taste (remember the name means “bitter”) But this is what gives your tooth powder its’ disinfectant, antiseptic properties. 3 to 5 drops of peppermint essential oil 1 to 2 drops Anise essential oil – both of these can be adjusted to fit your own tastes. Some of my kids prefer it to have more peppermint taste, but some love the Anise taste (somewhat licorice ) a dash of salt – I use RealSalt or sea salt Mix all ingredients together and store in a covered container (I use a Rubbermaid plastic container) in the bathroom. When I make toothpowder I just mix things together without measuring. I will attempt to give you approx. measuring amounts so you can play around with it and see what suits your tastes. |
