Notes
Notes: I just dip my toothbrush in this (make each family member their own small jar). If you prefer, you could also keep a popsicle stick or a small measuring spoon near the jar and use this to scoop it out.
You can substitute cinnamon for the peppermint essential oil. optional: you can also add Bentonite Clay and Black Walnut hull powder.
