There are some actions that we do daily, and that are very important for our health, such as brushing our teeth, taking a shower, eating, etc. But do you really know what products you use? Maybe you know some ingredients, but the problem is that most of the product we use are filled with chemicals. Fortunately, there is an option for you, if you want to switch to all natural toothpaste and other products.
When you look at the ingredients from a toothpaste tub, you see lots of names you maybe can't even pronounce. Mostly, they are chemicals, additives, detergents and sweeteners. The most damaging ingredient is propylene glycol, and it is used in many cosmetic product, and even some anti-freezes. Fluoride is another common substance, and while some dentists recommend using a fluoride toothpaste, others consider it to be toxic, especially in large quantities.
Take into account that although you may be buying your toothpaste from a store with natural products, it may also have some chemicals. The most common is sodium lauryl sulfate, which, although it can be made from natural oil, it can be harmful to your mouth.
The solution for these problems is to buy only natural products, made from plant extracts, essential oil, maybe some zinc oxide, citric acid or baking soda. Look up the stores that sell these kinds of toothpaste in your city and try them. You may also find there other natural cosmetic products that you may want to try.
Another option would be to make it yourself. This way you will be able to make it with the taste that you want, to address the problems you have and, last, but not least, you can save some money. With as little as three to five ingredients, and in under ten minutes, you can have the desired toothpaste.
Use natural products such as tea tree oil to clean and refresh your dentition, salt or baking soda to whiten the teeth or fight tartar buildup, as well as essential oils. You can add orange and peppermint or eucalyptus oil if you want it to be citrus-fresh. Or, if you are more of a herbal type of person, use licorice root, Indian almond, clove, maybe a bit of cinnamon, or any other essential oil you want, but check the quantities before.
To sweeten the toothpaste you can use stevia powder or, even better, xylitol. Another great paste you can get is the one with different types of clay. It may sound weird, but it actually leaves your teeth very clean. It also helps teeth remineralization. You just mix the clay you want with purified water, a bit of sea salt, some sweetener (stevia, either powder or liquid, or xylitol) and one or two essential oils of your choice.
It doesn't matter if you want to buy or make your own toothpaste, remember that there are options to help keep you safe and healthy. If you get rid of the chemicals you put in and on your body, you will be healthier and look better. All the options are right in front of you.
