Hi Morag, the toothpaste recipe sounds goos. How much salt does one use?
Also, salt is very abrasive so very little needed and probably better dissolved? But not omitted as it is alkaline and anti bacterial Only occasional use for those with soft tooth enamel. Also, is the bentonite slightly abrasive too?

Hi Lyn, I sourced pure food grade bentonite clay from http://healingclay.com.au/edible-bentonite-clay/edible-bentonite-clay-250g-jar.html and if you search for Ultra Fine Pure Activated Charcoal Powder you'll find some sources. I like your idea for the mint tea – sounds great. Go ahead and leave out the peppermint oil – personal flavour preferences.

Where would I source the bentonite clay and bamboo charcoal? Also could I leave out the peppermint essential oil and just put more mint in? Perhaps I could make mint tea with the water before adding to the rest of the ingredients.

Query about last item in ingredients:
What does, "...or 1/4 tsp stevia or 2 drops (optional)" mean?
That is, do you mean 1/4 teaspoon of fresh stevia? or do you mean 1/4 teaspoon of stevia juice? (or stevia oil)? (given you've said , "…or 2 drops". Thank you Morag in advance, and Thank you for writing this article.

It depends on the type of stevia product you use. If it's the powder, use 1/4 tsp. If it's the concentrated liquid in a dropper bottle – use 2 drops. I also grow stevia and a couple of finely crushed dried leaves work well. I hope that helps.

Yes, you could leave it out but I think it is available in chemists. You could also use other clays - kaolin clay, green french clay etc...
