essential oils and toothpaste

[Guest guest]

The mouth is part of our immunse system and has its own immune

defense system ... I don't recommend myself using it every day as

part of toothpaste ... I like to dip my toothbrush in baking soda and

then place on a drop of lavender oil.

 

Grapeseed oil has also been added quite successfully to tooth

cleaning pastes and liquid sea salt tooth cleaners.

 

I like to use a variety of oils and also to go for periods of time

not using any essential oils ... I really like to use the himalayan

rock salt by putting a chunk of rock salt and covering it over with

spring water ... and letting it dissolve ...so you get a saturated

solution. You could add an essential to this but I don't always find

that necessary.

 

I love the way this solution cleans my teeth ... nothing else has

compared.

 

So my feeling is ... go easy on the essential oils with tooth

cleanign and be careful with it because too much ... can be corrosive

and to disruptive of the bacteria balance in the mouth.
