Miss Lydia, you are very likely much more - umm, you probably have more finesse than I do. I fear I would knock the edge off the counter if I tried the hammer approach. Some of us are talented like that.

Hey, so I am not the only one who uses a mortar and pestle. My mom gave me mine, oh, gosh, maybe thirty years ago and at the time I thought it was beautiful, but I put it away for years and rarely used it.I grind vitamins with a mortar and pestle that came from Bed Bath and Beyond. You can also get them from Amazon and Ebay. I love it. I use it for crushing herbs, nuts, and vitamins.
Looks like I may have to come out of the dark ages and get one of those mortar and pestles and retire my hammer.Hey, so I am not the only one who uses a mortar and pestle.

These days, I find I use it at least every couple of weeks. Probably will be using it more and more, as I find more things to use it for.
I love it! Lol!!! I used tin foil and a wine bottle to smash up all the niacin and supplements for my wry neck ducklings. One way to make it easier is to mark a jar in measured spots. Pre crush all the pills for say a day or three of water and then mix it in a mason jar. I premade about 5 gallons of my "supplements" at once and vigorously shook the mason jar before measuring out a dose into the water. I too had residue and no duckling improvement before I switched to a better mixture method.What ya'll don't like my cave man way of crushing a pill?
I've always felt skeptical about dental products. It's kind of ironic isnt it? You buy a toothpaste that 9 out of 10 dentists recommend. Well, they do make a living off of others having tooth problems!!!! I've always wondered if they were just trying to put you into an express lane to a root canal!!!Miss Lydia, if you have the touch with the hammer, stick with it!!!
But the mortar and pestle is a neat thing to use. Just last night I ground up that pill, and some sea salt and some charcoal for making my toothpaste. And if I may anticipate what you are thinking, yes, it is not a pretty sight while brushing, but it does a good job cleaning the teeth. Much less expensive than commercial paste.
So true!I've always felt skeptical about dental products. It's kind of ironic isnt it? You buy a toothpaste that 9 out of 10 dentists recommend.

For what it's worth, my dental hygienist knows to ask what I have been using, and she gives me feedback on how well it has worked. Some of the best feedback came from using ground horsetail herb. I need to get some more of that - it is good for so many things.I've always felt skeptical about dental products. It's kind of ironic isnt it?
