Make your own toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner

Recipes for easy, safe alternatives.

Toothpaste:

• Organic Coconut Oil (3 tbsp)

• Baking Soda - aluminium free (1 -2 tsp)

• Himalyan or Celtic Salt - to provide many minerals

• + / -  Ground organic Egg Shells (1 tsp) to provide more minerals (remove the inner lining, boil for 3 - 5 minutes, drain the water, allow to dry then grind - coffee grinder is perfect)

• I used to add Essential Oils like Peppermint (10 drops), Myhrr (2 drops) or TeaTree (8 drops) but now prefer not to as they alter the natural microbiome of the mouth -  but you might like to.

Hair Shampoo:

•     Baking Soda (2 tsp aluminium free) and fill bottle with clean Water (preferably chlorine and fluoride free) - that’s it

•     Optional: add a couple of drops of Essential Oil - Lemon, Orange or your choice.

Hair Conditioner:

•  Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (approx 3 tbsp) and fill bottle with Water. It removes tangles, and no your hair does not smell of vinegar. Simple, inexpensive, no nasty chemicals.
