Over the years I have brought you many posts on all natural dental hygiene. I thought it would be neat to do a roundup of my favorite pearly white recipes, and remedies.

1. Remineralizing toothpaste. This recipe includes ingredients that actually help improve your teeth and gums. If you do not like the flavor of peppermint try wild orange essential oil instead!


2. Hemp Paste. This toothpaste recipe is more smooth than the remineralizing recipe. However, the hemp which contains many healthy fats is great for nourishing your gums. Again, with this recipe you can add in wild orange if you dislike the flavor of peppermint.

3. Oil Pulling: This is an age-old Ayurvedic technique. For this you will need either coconut oil or hemp oil. Other people have had success with Avacado oil or even olive oil. I personally find the taste of all oils a little displeasing other than the hemp and coconut oils. Put a tablespoon of this oil in your mouth and swish it back and forth for as long as you can manage. The recommended amount of time is at least 10-15 minutes. If you can do 20 you are a pro! Make sure to spit the oil out when you are done. The oil will absorb the toxins and bacteria in your mouth as you swish. Do not swallow.


4. Activated charcoal for whitening: This is not the same thing that you use on your grill. It is carbon that has been activated to increase its adsorption.

Adsorption, to explain simply, is the process of one substance attracting/ catching another substance (in this case a toxin) to remove it from a given surface. When you apply activated charcoal to your teeth and let it sit for a few minutes you will see a huge difference in the color of your teeth. Follow the link to learn the process and see my results.

Cloves. Use clove oil to numb extreme tooth pain until you can make it to the dentist.

5. Clove oil: Having extreme tooth pain and have to wait to get to the dentist? Apply a drop of clove oil to your tooth/surrounding gum and the clove will numb your tooth. Clove is also really beneficial for overall oral health. WARNING: the clove oil that is for sale at the pharmacy has a huge label that says: Not for internal use. Please follow this guideline. If you would like a clove oil that is safe for internal use send me an email.

Peppermint oil is perfect for oral health and great breath!

6. Peppermint oil: Not only will peppermint make your breath smell fabulous it is also packed with benefits for oral health. Based on preliminary studies peppermint has helped to reverse tooth and gum disorders/decay. It is also a great preventative to use daily.

While this is not the complete list of herbal oral health it is a great place to start. Which herbal remedies do you use for oral health? Let me know in the comments below.

I hope this was helpful! Thank you for reading and until next time - Be well!

This may be a very random post, but it is one that I wish I had read before we went to the beach last summer. I have several essential oils and home made toiletries but which ones are important enough to carry with me to the beach for family vacation and which ones would be useful in an emergency situation?


You never know which oil you will need but if you know your families health well enough you can plan ahead and pack for things that you, your husband, or your kids experience often (such as heartburn, nausea, sunburn, headaches, etc). Each family will be different because we all have different needs.

This is the list I made:

Single Oils: Eucalyptus Oil, Wintergreen Oil, & Peppermint Oil (email me to find out where I buy my oils).

Oil Blends: Stomach Soother (Includes Peppermint, Lemon, and Rosemary) which works wonders for nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, and helps my husband if he has a gallstone attack (literally stops the attack from happening).

I also carry: Healing Salve, Dandy Oil, Hemp lippie, and mineral makeup(for a light sunscreen on my face and because I love it)!

I carry the basics as well; homemade fluoride-free toothpaste, deodorant, hairspray, perfume, & soap (recipe coming soon).

Believe it or not all of these items fit in a very small space. I want to continue making conscious choices while we travel as well as at home. Last summer I forgot to bring any oils and we had to leave the family trip early to come home to get my oils... not fun.

I could also condense these items down into travel sized containers, but for the most part I make small batches of everything to ensure it doesn't spoil (no problems with that so far).

I guess I should quit blogging and start packing, I may not have internet access so if I'm quiet for a few days you know why!

Thanks for reading, remember.. "Sharing is Caring"!

I've been using the Re-mineralizing toothpaste recipe for some time, and I can truly say that it works. Small cracks/ cavities in mine and my husbands teeth have literally vanished.

However, this recipe does taste a little bitter and because I love Hemp Oil so much and the makeup of Hemp is ideal for perfect human health I decided to make, try out, and share my review of a toothpaste made with Hemp oil!

Hemp Paste is perfect for the kiddo's, because it does taste better and doesn't have the tingly sensation; my little brother chooses it over the Re-mineralizing toothpaste. He uses it everyday!

1.  ½ cup of Coconut Oil


2.  1/8 cup of Hemp Oil


3.   1 Tablespoon Baking Soda


4.  15-20 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

1.  Mash the baking soda into the coconut oil with a fork or whisk.


2.  Stir in Hemp Oil & Peppermint Essential Oil


3. Place in container with small spoon or BPA free plastic squeeze bottle.

Look no farther than this awesome recipe!
