It's Sunday and you're out of toothpaste? I have the solution. I give you a homemade recipe for brushing your teeth, toothpaste or not.
It's always when the tube is almost empty that you think you really should go buy another one.
But meanwhile, don't panic. It is possible to make one at home, with few ingredients and at a lower cost.
To make your toothpaste easily, while waiting to go buy a new one (still more practical!), here is what we need:
- 1 half teaspoon of bicarbonate
- 1 half teaspoon of fine salt (preferably unrefined)
- 1 drop of peppermint essential oil (for fresh breath). It also works with cinnamon essential oil , sweet orange or spearmint .
Instructions
1. In a small flared container (so that I can easily slide my toothbrush in), or a cup, I mix the 3 ingredients. I must thus obtain a homogeneous and relatively thick paste.
2. I just have to dip my toothbrush in this paste and brush my teeth normally.
If this homemade toothpaste can be used daily, it should nevertheless be avoided in case of sensitive gums.
You can also try our other homemade toothpaste recipe, based on mouthwash.
Did you know this recipe to make up for your empty toothpaste tube? Give me your opinion in comments.
