In reply to Mirte.

Hi Mirte!

Thank you so much for your note 🙂 I am thrilled that you’re finding some inspiration on MNR! My book is in fact in Dutch – just look where books are sold or online. Your local bookstore could also order it, I’m sure.

My skincare routine is very simple, but the few products I use are from Living Libations, a very small Canadian company. The creator is Nadine Artemis and she’s an incredibly talented person! Check out her site: http://www.livinglibations.com

All the best on your health journey!
xo, Sarah B

Dear Sarah,
I heard about your blog a while ago, but only got the time to read it now. And I love it! You are giving so much info, together with your recipes. And your knowledge about food as medicine is great. Just ordered a few recommended books to dive in to – just what I was looking for but couldn’t find in Dutch!
As I am converting from a sugar-junky myself, to a whole foods hippie kind a girl (women with my 28 years actually 😉 ), I am finding out so much. I even studied nutrition but oh-my, what they teach you there is so much defined by government etc. Well… you know what I mean.
I run a Dutch food blog about the FODMAP diet, and will definitely post a few blogs again from a different approach about food: not only look at FODMAP’s while trying to handle IBS, but look at the whole picture.
That said, I really want to know what kind of toothpaste and skincare products you do use. I found Dr. Bronner on your website and that already looks great, but a good toothpaste I haven’t found yet. I had a serious search for REAL natural skin care products and toothpaste but it is so hard to find! How crazy is that… just wanting to use something that is simple and natural is almost not available. Seriously took me a few afternoons and still I am not really happy with the ‘natural’ ones I have found so far.
Hope to get some tips!
Love,
Mirte (The Netherlands)

Homemade Toothpaste

1/2 cup of clay (you can get it at the health food store, I used something called Luvos aard a german product, you also have something called Fuller’s Earth, It’s the sort you can drink a sort of powder)
1 tablespoon (heaping) of salt
1 tablespoon (flat) of baking soda
1 tablespoon of sage powder (or thyme powder also to try) (or very finely ground dry sage or thyme)
7 drops of clove oil
10 – 20 drops of either lemon or mint oil (depending upon taste desire)
(Be careful with the essential oils as they are really really strong, so after 10 go one or two at a time and taste to just start to taste the flavor, be careful because otherwise you can burn yourself)

Mix all of the dry ingredients together and shake well. Then add the clove oil and shake
then add lemon or mint oil a few drops at a time (shaking at each interval…to make sure well blended and go until the taste is okay.

At first you have to get used to it, it is a powder and feels grainy in your mouth, but then after awhile it starts to feel really good, and you need to rinse well..

First, I love your blog. It’s my new-found favorite (first the good news)!
Second, so sorry to report that per Jason’s website, their “Sea Fresh” toothpaste has flouride. http://www.jason-natural.com/products/oral_care.php
Do you have any other recommendations for oral care?
