We
don’t really think about saving the environment or caring for our
health when we brush our teeth. It’s a daily routine that we take up
without giving too much thought to it. We should take into consideration
that we are brushing our teeth with parabens, petroleum, synthetic
flavorings, mineral oil, propylene glycol and synthetic fragrances. That
doesn’t sound too healthy anymore. Commercial toothpaste might also be
tested on animals, which is another reason to avoid purchasing them. The
chemicals used in toothpaste are actually responsible for drying out
tissues in the mouth and possibly lead to canker sores. An excess of
fluoride can even cause causer or renal or kidney failure, amongst other
things. Did you know that some chemicals found in mouthwashes can also
be found in bathroom disinfectants?
Why
don’t you try making your own organic toothpaste at home? It is easier
than you think and you can avoid buying the tube made of plastic which
is another relief for the environment and one less product made of
plastic.
Take a look at the following video and you will see how easy it is to make your own toothpaste at home and safe money doing it!
