Coconut Oil Toothpaste

I have spent a lot of time lately trying to get as many chemicals out of my life as much as possible.  So I have started on focusing on health and beauty aids.  Since I have begun using this toothpaste, I no longer have sensitive teeth which is something I have battled with for many years.  I make mine plain but you can add any essential oil for which ever flavor you desire.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut oi - slightly softened or melted
1/4 cup baking soda
Optional:  10-20 drops of essential oils

Directions:

Mix oil and baking soda together until smooth.  Add oils and mix well.  I keep mine in a small mason jar.  I also mix often as the mixture is cooling and starting to harden because the baking soda tends to fall to the bottom of the jar.
