Man, I know it. Baking soda works for toothpaste and when I’m staying home, I sometimes just brush real good with plain water. I’ve also started using plain old white vinegar for underarm deodorant. I get my soap from the health food store so it doesn’t have a bunch of additives in it. - Even with being as simple as you can, there always seems to be some yahoo so greedy of gain it’s really sad. - I reckon I’m clean enough I don’t smell, or if I do no one tells me. :O)
We make a nice tooth powder using dry powdered clay, salt, baking soda, a few powdered herbs, and some drops of various essential oils. May start selling it - peppermint, wintergreen, and fennel flavors.
Tastes really good, cheap, really good for the teeth and gums. If you (or anyone) wants the recipe, freepmail me and I’ll freepmail it back and post it on the thread. An hour’s work to make enough for at least 6 months, costs a fraction of regular toothpaste (at least with the ingredients I get) and kids like it too.
