Reasons to Use Homemade Toothpaste with Essential Oils

July 9, 2018 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

Are you making the most of essential oils in your home? You might be surprised to learn about some of the many different things you can use these oils for. Did you know that it’s possible to make homemade toothpaste with the use of essential oils? Many use these homemade toothpaste varieties for various intents and purposes. Here are several reasons to make and use homemade toothpaste with essential oils. 

Check out this DIY Charcoal Toothpaste Recipe – Add a little peppermint oil for a fresh breath.

Addition of Flavor

Some choose to make and use homemade toothpaste with essential oils just for the simple fact that there are many more flavor possibilities to choose from. With the addition of one or more of the food-safe essential oils, it’s possible to create many unique flavors for your toothpaste that you may not find otherwise. With all the varieties of essential oils out there, you can always experiment until you find the flavor you love most.

Freshening the Breath

Many essentials oils are said to contain certain properties that fight germs, as well as contain unique scents. Fighting germs is believed to be one of the best ways to stave off that bad breath. For this reason, many choose to use homemade toothpaste with essential oils in order to freshen up that breath. If you ever have a hard time finding the right toothpaste to freshen your breath the way you desire, doing it yourself may make it easier.

Save Money

Some may find the cost of toothpaste is more affordable when they make it themselves. Because only small amounts of each ingredient are needed, supplies may last longer. Therefore, making homemade toothpaste with essential oils could save more money in the long run. Other ingredients besides essential oils often include coconut oil, sea salt, and baking soda. These are all generally affordable in the small amounts needed to make a batch of toothpaste.

Antibacterial, Antimicrobial, Antifungal, and Antiviral Properties

Some essential oils have been reported to contain antibacterial properties, which makes them a desirable ingredient in toothpaste. Some may also contain antimicrobial, antiviral, and even antifungal properties. This could make them a strong aid in fighting germs in the mouth, leading many to make homemade toothpaste with these potentially powerful essential oils.

Antioxidant Properties

Did you know that some essential oils have been stated to have antioxidant properties? This could be one very powerful reason to make and use homemade toothpaste with essential oils. Can you imagine the possibility of potentially fighting cancer while brushing your teeth? Antioxidants are said to fight free radicals, which is an amazing benefit to gain just from brushing your teeth.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
