Benefits of Using Flavored Toothpicks with Essential Oils:
freshens breath
curbs appetite (I find that cinnamon bark works the best, although grapefruit is also a popular option)
improves mood (citrus oils help a lot)
energizing (especially with peppermint)
supports a healthy mouth (tea tree, Thieves & cinnamon are great)
homemade versions are stronger than store-bought, so they last longer
Important Note on Which Essential Oils to Use
Make sure to choose an essential oil that has been certified as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) or as food additives, by the F.D.A.
avoid using any oil that says "for aromatherapy use only" on the bottle. These oils are NOT truly pure and/or safe to use in this way. Always, always, always read your labels first!

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

Yes, I would like to know also. LOVE the color. Thanks.
Another good video! thanks! In my girlhood neighborhood, we used to make cinnamon toothpicks for fun. We bought the cinnamon oil at a local drug store that also sold candy. Funny thing was, we all craved the cinnamon more than any candy! I recently learned at the Townsends channel comments that LICORICE ROOT was used for chew stick toothbrushes back during the late 1700's. I've ben told it's a beneficial thing to do for oral hygiene. Naturally healthy for some reason.
which is better for cleaning teeth? round or flat toothpicks? thanks!
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY i used about 40 drops can't wait to try them later today
We used to make these cinnamon toothpicks when I was in junior high school and sell them to the other kids. The cinnamon was always a winner! Glad to see that they are still being made and used.
Handy dandy! Brown truck pulled up yesterday as I'm painting the front door. SUN OVEN ARRIVED!! Not mad at all that the UPS dude chuckled at my nerdy happy dance.❤
Never tried that before, but looks yummy. The kitchen background looks fabulous. I love the color you painted those cabinets.
I’ll say
This is a great idea! I had recently watched a video by Dr. Axe where he was talking about how unhealthy dental floss is because of the garbage they add to it. Mr. Rain likes toothpicks so I need to start doing this! Did I say how much I love your your outdoor kitchen is looking? Beautiful! Thanks for the great information!
Well. I need to figure out how to make my own dental floss. Toothpicks can't reach every where. My teeth are pretty tight together in places. lol Love Dr. Axe.
Dr. Axe gets around... even made it to OG with D&S.
Thanks for the great video! You took me back to my childhood. My mom used to do this in the 70's. I'm definitely gonna call momma and make some this week!
Oh my goodness. We used to do this when we were kids! I forgot about it. We liked to do it with cinnamon oil, because it was hot. Like those red hot jaw breakers. lol. Loving your 'summer house'
I love your videos!! Thank you for taking the time to share all of your wonderful ideas & info! I'm not a homesteader, my husband far from it! lol! But we do love all of the health info. you share & I just enjoy following you guys! You are great!! You're my favorite channel!
Congratulations to you Doug and Stacy on just reaching 100,000+ subscribers here on CZcams! Very well deserved :)
When I was a kid many moons ago we use to buy cinnamon tooth pick from the ice-cream man we liked them so much my Dad started making them for us with cinnamon oil. We just loved them! and they would last for hours. Still going through your old posts, love em. Thanks
Love these! Used to beg my friend in grade school for them. Her mom bought them at the store these homemade ones would be better
My husband uses tooth picks daily. We forgot to pack them on our last camping trip, so my husband whittled a handfull of crude, bulky tooth picks out of sticks... They did the job but would have tasted better with cinnamon and mint! lol... I totally thought you were gunna whittle some!!! lol
I'm sooo happy that you already use Young Living essential oils! That's awesome! You'll really appreciate some mail I sent you lately then! I just wanted to offer a way of saying thank you for all of the different things you have taught me recently since finding your videos! I've shared your CZcams videos with my friends and family and am showing my mother-in-law how to sprout because of you! Thanks again!
loved it and the card was so cute =) thanks a bunch #homesteadhomie
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY , you're so very welcome! Thank you, again! ❤
Nice video I used to do that in grade school. Then I sold them to my buddy's lol. A thumbs up like always for my show me neighbor lol.
You surprised me by mixing the peppermint and the cinnamon toothpicks in one glass jar
This is brilliant!! Love this idea. A healthy toothpick! Who'd a thunk it? I'm soooo gonna make these! Thank you so much as always. Love, hugs and blessings, Lisa
Good morning! What a great toothpick idea! Thanks, Doug! Have a great day, guys!
I'm doing this for my honey! He uses toothpicks all the time and he is very hard to shop for. So this will be my next little 'thx 🍯!' gift.
Bright idea to make this an even simpler to do item. Use different toothpick holders and put the essential oil drops in the bottom of the toothpick holders and then put the toothpicks in and give them 24 - 48 hours to soak up the oil and they are ready to go. Is there a reason you would have to soak them in a bowl first?
Rachel Ewing I tried that and oil turned to almost a candy do not know if the plastic did it or I didn't put enough or some sites recommend adding olive oil to the essential oil but I think my mistake was the plastic and too little oil
Me and my little boy Love watching Y'all ...
Thankyou for making them. :)
Doug the background color is very flattering! I love the idea of flavored toothpicks and have always preferred a toothpick to floss. Never thought to make them myself though. Thanks!
I suggest sticking the toothpicks in the nearly empty essential oil bottle. Or you could stick a few drops of oil in the toothpick holder. Essential oils do evaporate over time, so if you put the oil in an open dish, some of your oil isn't going into the toothpicks, but evaporating instead. Which might be OK if you want to have the oil in the room.
Gotta make these! Love cinnamon toothpix but will love even better knowing I know exactly what’s in them!
Old school, we did that when I was a kid.. lol hmmmm wondering how old you are. .lol. Only we didn't have the essential oil, we used cinnamon oils.. love them.
This guy is a legend
Not toothpick ... but closely related. I have found the ideal toothpaste! ..... Bicarbonate of Soda! It is the same stuff you can use in baking, just moisten your toothbrush slightly and dip it in and brush. Bicarb is cheap and can also be used as an antiseptic and mixed into a paste with water is an excellent cleaner too! My dentist has commented on how well my teeth are doing since I swapped from regular (sugar and fluoride filled) commercial paste!
Congrats on 100 K. That is terrific. Hey we have two questions. We have looked at all the vendors and presenters and we do not see where you guys are going to be in Oregon Mother Earth News Fair? Where will we find you? Also, we messaged you several days ago about specifics at the fair and have not had a response. I can't imagine what it might be like to keep up with so many comments but we are hoping for a reply on this one.
Gonna try this with monster energy drink
Congrats o9n the 100K Subs!!!!!
Peppermint! Love flavored toothpicks!!! btw... I see you at 99,997 right now !!!!
This is an excellent idea. I will definitely try this out. I usually buy the peppermint toothpicks from the natural food store. I bet this will save me money since I already have all the essential oils I need for this diy. Thanks!
I think its a great idea and another great use for essential oils! Thank you!
Never heard of flavoured toothpicks! Will try this, thanks.
Could you possibly do a video on how you reduce your waste? I noticed you finished the essential oil bottle, and I wondered what you do with the empty bottles? You guys are clearly not opposed to buying stuff from the internet, which is fine, but I only wondered if you reduce your waste or do something with it?
I noticed that you put both flavored toothpicks in the same container. Do the flavors transfer from each other?
Your new "kitchen" looks good.! A little different than original 3 option.😜
Great idea! Essential Oils ROCK!
Good idea! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful DIY.
Funny, we used to sell spicy tooth picks at school when I was 7th or 8th grade.
Cool! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! Going to give it a try. Do your flavors combine by placing both flavored toothpicks in the same jar?
I just watched your diffuser video - LOL...Doug, you were definitely not interested in smelling those oils! I laughed so much at your reaction I didn't hear what oil combos Stacy was suggesting! Will need to watch again! Thanks for the good laugh though!!
Great information. I will be making some soon! FYI When I researched essential oils I found Young Living to very expensive. I recommend Edens Garden. I felt I did pretty good research on quality re? therapeutic grade etc. and Edens Garden was much lower priced for similar quality. Also Mountain Rose Herbs here in Oregon is another great resource for all kinds oils, spices, teas, waxes and other bulk items for DIYers.
That's a neat idea, Doug. Thanks for sharing! I'll certainly implement this one as well. 😊
Thanks Doug for sharing.
Thank you for sharing another wonderful how to video.
Clever idea
Great video. Thanks for the information.
Another good idea, have a great day!
I like the flavored toothpicks. Going to give this a try.
That was a great video like always! I am so glad to see that you are more then muscle on the homestead Doug you are somewhat domesticated LOL. I WANT THAT KITCHEN SINK AN HUMANURE ROCKS !!!!!!! YES HAW AN BEST BLESSINGS TO YOU AND EVERYONE OF THE OTHER HOMIES OUT THERE FROM ARKYHOG HOMESTEAD
Do you find that the flavors cross over at all? With cinnamon and peppermint in the same toothpick holder, over time do your cinnamon picks get "minty"?
🌼I enjoy that you share what you do and what works for you guys!💕 Giving use the opportunity to try ourselves. 😊
Such an interesting and easy idea !!!
Love the hat have the same one
Awesome. Jotting this down on the to-do list.
Cool idea! I've never thought to use my essential oils to flavor toothpicks. Thanks for the tip! - All the best. ~ Theresa
What a neat idea! Thank you.
Do you recon this would work with coffee syrups
Hilarious. Loved these as a kid; a store near our school sold Cinnamon ones in packs of 6.
Just remembered it and checked CZcams not expecting anything.
Our teacher let us use them during class.
great idea...thanks
Great idea
I belong to Young living also. Great company. Great use. Thanks
Hey Doug who won the kitchen sink? Great video on the tooth picks!
We know what's inem cuz we didem 🙌
What about using the flavors like mint and cinnamon from the baking isle of the grocery store!
Those are edibles for baking so I wonder if that wouldn't work also
Just what I need. Thank you. ☺
im new into flavoured toothpicks
im already realy love them =)
maybe if the coast are to high
i will try i out
Great idea. Thank you for sharing.
That very good
Great video!! Thanks!! Going to try this 😊
Made my first batch last night. I like spicy foods so I figured if he said 10-15 drops i should double that amount. Well this first batch has a little extra kick but they are good.
Do you know where the tooth pic was invented? Missouri, anywhere else and it would have been call teeth picks!
MO might have been first but, "Maine lost their toothpick industry few years back. 2003, I remember the older males chewing on toothpicks, never see that anymore. Maine boost toothpick capital of the world. ˜CAPITAL' CLOSES: Ephie Toothaker, "Toothpick Capital of the World" in Strong on Thursday. - AP Chiquita Swiney watched the last home-grown Maine toothpick, a square one with pointed ends, roll off the Forster Inc. production line with a lump in her throat and fear in her heart.The factory that made Strong the toothpick capital of the world is shutting its doors in the latest blow to the state's wood products industry.The closing means big changes for Strong, a community so closely identified with toothpick production that the words "Toothpick Capital of the World" are emblazoned on the sides of its fire trucks.In its heyday, the plant churned out 1,300 cases of toothpicks a day. With 48 boxes in a case and 250 toothpicks per box, that's 15.6 million toothpicks"
Thanks for these videos! Curious, are the "fringes" hanging from your waste in accordance with the Biblical commandment to Israel to append fringes to the corners of their garments? That's what they resemble and I find that fascinating. If I'm off, please correct me. Thanks!

OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY Oh, yes, verses 38-49, I know! And Deuteronomy 22:12. I wear them too, as I am a Jew and am commanded to do so. Are you Jewish as well? Thanks for taking the time to answer. And I love that you used the Hebrew word!
I love using tooth picks. I also find they curb my appetite as I chew on one while doing chores.
Not for me, but thank you. I'll share so someone can use the info.
Thanks for sharing God Bless Y'all
Where about in Michigan are you from.?
I'm from Michigan too
Someone forgot to take their fish oil! LOL Great idea!
I see you with the chainsaw it reminded me of the Looney Toons where the whole tree is cut down to 1 toothpick 😀
Great idea. xo
Doug.. is that a Blue pitcher on the table next to you? I have been looking a long time for a Blue pitcher and wash basin !! Do Tell !!!❤
a gift from a visiting Homestead Homie and just happens to match the new cabinets =)
OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY ..... Probably not readily available for me to buy then....... Thank you brother. I will keep on looking !!
The peppermint is food-grade not just a therapeutic
Do I have to do the 10 to 15 drops on anything else like cinnamon?
Was that cicadas I heard in the first part of the video boy they sound loud, typically we only get one loud one every once and a while sounds like you had a full forest of em, will have to try the toothpicks might help my fiance with his habit of chewing on random pieces of plastic :)
I was told that memory failure is brought about by kerosene fumes.
and here I thought you were going to lathe each tooth pick for us, lol
tweeted
AWESOME IDEA! It's the little things in life that count! :-D
Love & prayers
lol
😎 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Do you make homemade vanilla extract ?
yes, vanilla bean and vodka
Do I hear cicadas in the first half of the video? hahaha
🗣 👏👏👏 100k
I come to chew chewsticks and kick ass. I'm all out of chew.
Oh Dougie, you just put them all together and made mint, cinnamon, vanilla toothpicks. Never liked that cinnamint flavored toothpaste and such. Yuck. It did remind me of the penny candy store selling cinnamon toothpicks. Could you see a kid these days buying toothpicks like they were candy? Different world we live in today.
why I watch this bwa ha ha
I thought you were going to make the toothpicks. I stopped using toothpicks because they are made in china.
amzn.to/2uYNeXC here is a link MADE IN AMERICA =) and there are others
Actually the ones you linked are made in china. Yes there are some for sale but they are much higher priced and they are new old stock and are being sold as collector items. There are no wood toothpicks made in the USA!
Hahaha
Careful not to swallow your toothpick!!!
