I'm interested in making this but I'd love to know how much of each thing to use. I even have a little glass jar I think would be the perfect size all ready to be put to use. do you know the proportions she uses?

It's good for keeping gums healthy. The environmental benefit to the DIY approach is that there's no empty tube being tossed into a landfill.

What benefits other than minty fresh breath do they add?
