If you are seriously into natural products, toothpaste will probably be one of the products that will have been a “challenge”. The reason for this is that the majority of toothpastes are something of a chemical cocktail. If you are like me and scan the labels of what you are buying carefully, you will have noticed that most brands include sweeteners and other artificial ingredients galore.

Today I discovered a fantastic tutorial on how to make your own herbal tooth powder which completely sidesteps all artificial chemicals and opts for easily available natural ingredients! This is a superb recipe that explains the reason for the inclusion of each ingredient.

What surprised me first about this recipe was its simplicity. Can it really be that simple? If so, it begs the question: Why are manufacturers putting in all this other stuff?? Probably for reasons of product stability and “shelf appeal”.

Looking at the recipe, you’ll probably save some cash as well.

Another thing that I absolutely love about these recipes, which is usually not mentioned, is that you get to avoid all forms of plastic packaging!

Yet another amazing thing about this recipe is that it will appeal to survivalists: Because the ingredients are commonly available and, if stored correctly, should have a long shelf life, this is a recipe that seems to me a perfect candidate for your survival kit. I would however suggest packing a few toothbrushes also!
