Make your own money-saving and effective Re-Mineralising Mouth Rinse Recipe.
Having read Ramiel Nagel’s book “Cure Tooth Decay” several years ago, I was aware that the teeth are designed to repair under the correct conditions.
When the body has enough minerals, the saliva coats the teeth, naturally remineralising them and healing any cavities before they become a problem.
Sadly, factory farming methods have overfarmed the soil, causing mineral depletion. In addition, many people eat processed foods that lack sufficient natural minerals. Foods high in refined sugar further deplete the body of minerals. Seventy molecules of minerals are required to process one molecule of refined sugar; that is why sugar is an anti-nutrient.
A diet low in sugar and high in organic fruit and vegetables provides the best environment for your teeth. If hair mineral analysis shows low levels of minerals, then supplementation is recommended. A good general mineral supplement is Dr Dean’s ReMyte, available online.
Before reading the book, I had a small but noticeable hole developing on one of my front teeth, which disappeared after several months of mineral supplementation.
I was also using Trace Minerals Concentrace Mineral Mouth Rinse after brushing at bedtime. Sadly, this product is no longer available, so I have developed my own recipe following their ingredients.
The ingredients for the Trace Minerals Concentrace Mineral Mouth Rinse were listed as:
The last three ingredients are mainly for shelf life and product stability. The active ingredients appear to be the mineral solution, peppermint oil, and xylitol. Xylitol helps reduce cavity-causing bacteria, but I would prefer not to use xylitol, so I have substituted it with more colloidal silver, which, in my opinion, does the same thing.
I have also added ¼ teaspoon vegetable glycerine to disperse the peppermint oil slightly better and give a smoother feel in the mouth.
The Trace Minerals Mouth Rinse was based on ConcenTrace/Utah Sea Minerals, so Concentrace is the closer match. Dr Dean’s ReMyte includes minerals such as iodine, selenium, copper, chromium and molybdenum, which are more relevant as an internal supplement than as a DIY mouthwash ingredient.
ConcenTrace is a naturally concentrated mineral brine from the Great Salt Lake. It contains a broad spectrum of 70+ naturally occurring ionic trace minerals, with a high level of magnesium and chloride. A typical ½ tsp serving gives about 250 mg magnesium, 650 mg chloride, plus small amounts of sodium, potassium, sulfate, lithium and boron.
Nano-hydroxyapatite is an additional, optional remineralising ingredient for tooth enamel. It supplies the calcium-phosphate mineral structure that resembles tooth mineral. Reviews describe hydroxyapatite toothpaste and oral-care products as promising for remineralisation and caries prevention.
Buy a 250ml glass bottle of Colloidal Silver with a glass dropper and add the ingredients.
You can experiment with the recipe. I decided to use colloidal silver as a base for my mixture. Before the modern medical system took over, Colloidal Silver was a powerful staple in hospitals, prized for its incredible ability to destroy over 650 different pathogens. It was essentially nature’s antibiotic—effective, fast-acting, and accessible.

In the interest of reducing plastic waste, I have been buying small, refillable metal tins and experimenting with my own natural lip balm recipes.
To make a natural lip balm for dry skin, you’ll need a blend of natural moisturising, soothing, and protective ingredients. Here is my basic, nourishing formula:
| Ingredient | Purpose | Suggested Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Beeswax (pellets or grated) | Provides structure and a protective barrier | 1 part |
| Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter | Deeply moisturises and heals dry, chapped lips | 1 part |
| Carrier Oil (e.g. Avocado, Sweet Almond, Jojoba, or Coconut Oil) | Nourishes and softens the skin | 2 parts |
Vitamin E oil (a few drops): Antioxidant and skin healer.
Honey (¼ tsp): Natural humectant, adds moisture and a hint of sweetness.
Lanolin (pea-sized amount): Excellent for intense moisture and healing.
Calendula-infused oil: Soothes cracked or inflamed lips.
Essential oils (2–3 drops): For scent and therapeutic effect.
Lavender: soothing
Peppermint: cooling and plumping
Chamomile: calming for inflamed skin.
🧪 Basic Recipe
1 tbsp beeswax pellets
1 tbsp shea butter
2 tbsp Jojoba oil (or other carrier oil)
Optional: ½ tsp vitamin E oil, 1 tsp honey, 3 drops essential oil
Instructions:
Bring a pan of water to a simmer.
Place a heat-safe bowl in the water.
Melt the beeswax, shea butter, and oil in a heat-safe bowl over the pan of simmering water.
Once fully melted, remove the mixture from the heat.
Stir in the vitamin E, honey, and essential oils.
Pour immediately into small tins.
Allow them to set at room temperature until firm (about 30–60 minutes).
Try my unique blend of oils to massage into your scalp and hair as a pre-shampoo treatment, or a more nourishing overnight treatment. For best results, and minimal waste, wash the oil out of your hair with an Argan Oil shampoo bar.
3 tablespoons argan oil (base oil)
5 drops rosemary essential oil (growth and nourishment)
5 drops lavender essential oil (hydration and soothing)
3 drops tea tree essential oil (scalp care)
Mix Ingredients:
In a small glass bottle (preferably dark to protect the oils), combine the argan oil with your chosen essential oils and shake the bottle gently to mix them together.
Application:
For the scalp: Use a dropper to apply a few drops directly to the scalp. Massage gently to stimulate circulation.
For hair strands: Warm a small amount in your hands and smooth it through the lengths and ends of your hair.
Leave-In or Wash-Out:
Use it as a leave-in treatment for dry hair or as a pre-shampoo treatment by leaving it on for 30 minutes before washing.
Pre-Blow Dry Treatment:
Rub a couple of drops into the palms of your hands and apply to the wet ends of your hair to protect them from the heat from your hairdryer.
Having spent a fortune on organic skincare products over the years, I decided to experiment by making my own natural face oil using ingredients that can be bought easily and cheaply.
Here is my simple and effective DIY face oil recipe combining rosehip oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E oil. I have discovered that this blend is ideal for nourishing, hydrating, and brightening the skin while maintaining a light, non-greasy feel for daytime use.
1 tablespoon rosehip oil (promotes skin regeneration, brightens)
1 tablespoon jojoba oil (balances sebum, moisturizes)
5 drops vitamin E oil (antioxidant, repairs skin)
1-2 drops Rosemary oil (acne, blemishes, soothing, regulates sebum, ageing).
Prepare a Clean Bottle:
Use a small glass dropper bottle (preferably amber or dark to protect the oils from light).
Sterilize the bottle by rinsing it with hot water and letting it air dry completely.
Mix the Oils:
Add the rosehip oil and jojoba oil to the bottle.
Carefully add the vitamin E oil and any optional essential oils.
Combine:
Secure the dropper or cap on the bottle and shake gently to mix the oils thoroughly.
Store Properly:
Store the face oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness and potency.
Benefits of this Blend
Rosehip Oil:
Rich in vitamins A and C, it promotes collagen production and reduces scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
Jojoba Oil:
Mimics the skin’s natural sebum, helping balance oil production and keeping the skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Vitamin E Oil:
Protects against free radicals, boosts skin healing, and provides deep hydration.
Enjoy making and using you face oil and let me know in the comments how it worked for you. 🙂
