This Natural Toothpaste Recipe Does What Store-Bought Ones Can’t
What You’ll Need
Calcium Bentonite Clay (Unrefined) This is the star ingredient.
It pulls out heavy metals and toxins from the mouth, thanks to its natural magnetic charge.
Plus, the calcium in the clay helps remineralize your teeth, reinforcing enamel and protecting against decay.
Tip: Make sure it’s food-grade and unrefined.
Clove Oil
Clove oil has pain-relieving (analgesic) and anti-inflammatory properties.
It’s long been used in Ayurveda for dental pain, gum swelling, and mouth ulcers.
It numbs pain naturally and improves gum health.
Tea Tree Oil
Just a few drops of this powerful oil bring antibacterial and antifungal action to your blend.
It reduces bad bacteria in the mouth, improves breath, and prevents plaque buildup.
Baking Soda
While it’s mildly abrasive, when used in small amounts, it helps to lift stains and whiten teeth without damaging enamel.
It also helps balance pH in the mouth, making it less hospitable for harmful bacteria.
Artisanal Salt or Sea Salt
Salt helps replenish lost minerals in the mouth and creates a hostile environment for microbes.
It’s healing, strengthening, and supportive of overall gum health.
How to Make It
Start with a base of calcium bentonite clay in a bowl
Add 2–3 drops of clove oil
Add 2–3 drops of tea tree oil
Add a pinch of baking soda
Add a small amount of sea salt or artisanal salt
Add a little filtered water to make a paste-like consistency
Mix thoroughly and store in a small airtight jar
Place it by your sink and use it just as you would regular toothpaste.
Make a fresh batch every few weeks to keep it potent and clean.
Pair With These Ayurvedic Tools
Use a bamboo toothbrush with charcoal-activated bristles
Scrape your tongue daily with a copper, silver, or stainless steel tongue scraper to remove ama (toxins)
Rinse with warm salt water + turmeric after brushing for added antibacterial support
