Once you try this natural paste, you’ll never again buy expensive and ineffective toothpastes from the store.
There are various Ayurvedic toothpastes on the market, but this one is the most effective of them. And what’s more, you don’t even have to buy it, because you can make it yourself at home.
What makes this homemade toothpaste better than commercial ones?
It contains a substance called neem, which is scientifically called Azadirachta indica or in Czech Zeder indický.
This substance not only effectively treats gum problems (inflamed or receding gums), but can partially repair small cavities and also strengthens tooth enamel.
It is also antibacterial, which is thanks to ingredients such as baking soda or coconut oil.
Another advantage of this paste is that it does not contain toxic fluoride, which is now added to almost every commercial toothpaste.
Fluoride is claimed to strengthen tooth enamel, but in reality it creates more problems than it solves.
It is in fact a strong poison that, when swallowed, accumulates in the body, mainly in the bones and teeth, and can cause their increased brittleness, dental fluorosis (spotted teeth) and sometimes even lead to bone cancer.
All the ingredients needed to make this purely natural and safe toothpaste are readily available and its preparation is quick and simple.
Recipe for homemade toothpaste
To make it you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1 tablespoon of powdered neem (you can buy it in organic food stores, health food shops or online stores)
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin coconut oil
- 15 drops of peppermint essential oil (optional for a menthol flavor)
Preparation
In a suitable container mix all the ingredients until a homogeneous paste forms.
Coconut oil can solidify at temperatures lower than 24 ° C, so melt it before mixing so it blends more easily.
After mixing, store the paste in a sealable glass container.
Usage
Use this homemade paste for brushing your teeth just as you use regular toothpaste.
You will get the best results if you brush your teeth with it 3 times a day – your teeth will be whiter, your gums healthier and small beginning cavities will remineralize and thereby heal.
