Toothpaste Recipe
by Carla Geovanis
February 3, 2001

2 tablespoons vegetable glycerine (I use NOW brand)
1/4 cup of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon peppermint flavoring oil

Mix these together, and if you prefer a thinner
consistency, feel free to add more glycerine. The
easiest way to dispense your toothpaste is from a
plastic frosting bag--I keep mine in a teacup in my
medicine cabinet. If your grocery store doesn't carry
frosting
bags you can use any small plastic bag--just snip off
a corner. If you use essential oil of peppermint you
may need less flavoring. By the way, do not use
essential oil of wintergreen
in this (or any other!) recipe. Essential oil of
wintergreen is toxic, and should never be used either
on the skin or internally.



Easy Fizzing Toothpaste

1 Tsp baking soda
