How To Make Bentonite Clay Toothpaste w/ Neem Powder




The first time I made my own toothpaste is when I learned how horrible the side effects are in commercial brands. Doing the research to learn how to make it is when I realized how easy it is to do and that everyone should be making their own toothpaste. Below is the recipe for an amazing remineralizing flouride free bentonite clay tootpaste. This is why you should think about using bentonite clay in particular: 
  • Because of it’s excellent ability to bind to heavy metals and toxins as well as to provide minerals.
  • Clay absorbs the bad stuff and removes it from your body. It's actually nature's detox agent. People (and animals) ingest clay for an internal cleanse.
  • It actually enhanced gum repair 
  • Also, using clay will also decreased cavities by increasing the remineralizing of the teeth. 
Neem powder has been used for hundreds of years in over all health and beauty. You may have noticed Neem toothpaste in your health food store and had no idea what it was. 



Before we make our own lets see why we need to make our own.


FLUORIDE

Most commercial toothpastes – even many of the “natural” ones – contain fluoride. Unfortunately, aHarvard study recently linked fluoride to lowered IQ in children, while additional research has associated it with weakened bones, thyroid suppression, lowered metabolic function and dementia.
Is it possible to remain cavity-free without fluoride? Great question. According to Dr. Hardy Limeback, DDS, PhD, who has served as head of the Department of Preventive Dentistry at the University of Toronto and president of the Canadian Association for Dental Research, “You can get perfectly healthy teeth with resistant enamel without having any kind of fluoride exposure.”
GLYCERIN

Glycerin is used in almost all toothpastes because it helps create a pasty texture and prevents it from drying out. Though it’s non-toxic and I love to use it in homemade beauty formulas, glycerin is not something I want in my mouth. Why? Because it coats the teeth in a way that prevents normal tooth remineralization. Though most of us were raised to believe that minerals cannot be returned to the structure of the tooth itself, there is good data suggesting that it can. If the concept of remineralization is new to you, I recommend you do some research on it.
SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS)



SLS is a foaming agent and detergent that is commonly used in toothpaste, shampoo, and other products used to do things like, um, degrease car engines.  Why should we avoid it? Though some people have concerns that it may be an estrogen mimicker, I’d say the most obvious and substantiated reason is that it increases gum inflammation and mouth ulcers. According  to a study conducted the Department of Oral Surgery & Oral Medicine in Oslo, Norway, individuals who used a toothpaste containing SLS suffered from more ulcers (canker sores) than those who used an SLS-free toothpaste.
Titanium Dioxide




According to wikipedeia ,Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium, chemical formula TiO 2. When used as a pigment, it is called titanium white, Pigment White 6,Food manufacturers add titanium dioxide nanoparticles – the same compound used to make sunscreen and brighten paints – to many foods as a colorant and thickener.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate= Detergent in your toothpaste.

You are seduced on a daily basis by the intoxicating aromas, flashy packaging, and enticing promises of everlasting youth these products offer. But what is the real cost of applying these products to your body? If I were to tell you that your personal care products could be putting you at risk for hair and skin damage, immunological problems, damage to your eyes, and possibly even cancer, would you pay a little more attention to their ingredients? The growing awareness of chemicals in the foods you eat has led many of you to begin reading labels. If you are doing this as part of your regular shopping routine, I commend you, and you will likely live longer for it. But what about the products you are smearing all over yourself? Eye makeup can be absorbed by your highly sensitive mucous membranes. Hair sprays, perfumes and powders can be inhaled, irritating your lungs. Lipstick is licked off and swallowed. Sunscreen and lotions are...

As a result, the fact that you can incorporate natural ingredients and avoid hazardous chemical substances although generating your personal place fresheners at residence helps make this thought far more attractive.

Glycol Propylene-Hazardous to your Health. It's in EVERYTHING!

Image
What is propylene glycol? It is is a chemical found in personal care products that acts as a penetration enhancer that keeps products from melting in heat and/or freezing when it is cold. It is found in items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, acne treatment, moisturizer, toothpaste, deodorant, nail polish, mascara; basically anything you could possibly use on your body, propylene glycol is in it.  Why should you avoid propylene glycol? For starters it alters the structure of the skin by allowing chemicals to penetrate deep beneath it while increasing their ability to reach the blood stream. Sounds lovely, right? So even if propylene glycol was good for you, it’s main job is to help any other chemicals you come in contact with reach your bloodstream. Who wants to use a chemical designed to help other chemicals penetrate even deeper into your skin? Not me. However, there is even more to it than just that… How Toxic...
