The Beginning

It all begins with an idea.

My journey in holistic living began in 2018. I had experienced first hand how the medical field worked and when I was referred to pain management, I knew I had to look into alternative options or I’d fall victim to the healthcare industry as we see it in these United States. I began making my own products in 2020, during the Covid pandemic. It started with my tooth powder. I had chipped a tooth and it began to hurt a little. I didn’t want to go to the dentist and have hundreds of dollars spent and have a small chip turn into a root canal with a crown. After hours of online research I decided to make my own tooth powder and see how that helped. Within weeks the pain subsided completely, my teeth felt cleaner for longer, and I noticed my teeth were feeling really good! The ingredients for the tooth powder cost about the same as buying a year supply of tooth paste for a family of 3-4, so I thought it was worth it if it worked. It turns out that you can make a LOT of tooth powder once you buy the ingredients. Bentonite clay, calcium, baking soda, xylitol, cinnamon, clove, peppermint, and activated charcoal. If you prefer a paste rather than a powder, simply mix in some coconut oil until you obtain the consistency you like. Admittedly, it does feel like you’re brushing your teeth with dirt, and it makes your sink way dirtier than usual, by my mouth has never felt so clean! Pair this with the herbal mouth rinse for a powerful duo.
