Temporary Help for Toothache

  Nobody ever plans on getting a toothache and often when you get one you don't have any toothache medicine on hand. So, I'm going to give you a couple of things that may be helpful, things I have used for myself and my kids from time to time. And then I want to leave you with some thoughts about teeth healing.
  On occasion when my kids or myself have gotten a toothache I have found that clove oil dabbed around the target area can be helpful at relieving the pain. I have also used clove buds like you have in your spice rack. Just take a clove and place it on the area and it will give a numbing sensation to the spot. Another is ginger. I have not used ginger myself but others have and it, like the clove, can be dabbed on the sore spot.  A couple of others, which I have not personally tried are pure vanilla extract and almond extract dabbed as with the cloves. I've heard that oregano oil works also. What we are looking at here is temporary relief for toothache.

Yarrow

   Native Americans used the roots of Sweet Flag or Lady's Slipper, Wintergreen root, Sassafras roots, and Hops. They also used the leaves of Catnip and in the spring of the years the young Yarrow leaves have a purplish tip that is an anodyne (pain reliever). Of course you're not going to run out in the dead of winter and try to find these natural aids but the cloves and ginger are easy. Be careful with the ginger because it may cause a momentary increase in pain which will subside fairly quickly. I've never tried it but I suspect that if I had nothing else available, I might try Cayenne in the same way. Note: You can also get what's called "temporary filling" at most drug stores. This can be used to cover a cavity so the nerve endings are not exposed to irritants.
  Now, there is much new information regarding tooth healing regarding diet, herbs and oils. I have to learn it myself so I can't really say much about it here except to say that when you consider the cost of dental work, especially if you don't have dental insurance, it makes sense to try these inexpensive new ways of tooth healing. There is one example at www.naturalnews.com and I'm going to recommend it to a young lady who has been told she needs about $11,000 worth of dental work. I wish I would have had this information when I was younger because I have had about $8,000 worth of tooth replacement work.
   Keep in mind that our bodies are for this world and God has placed in the earth those herbs, plants, trees, and substances that are healing to every part of our bodies. All we need to do is learn about them and then apply what we've learned. I have treated my own family for years with great success and I have consulted many others with all kinds of ailments. The only thing I won't do is a tug of war with allopathic medicine so if someone comes to me for help they have to be committed to the natural way!
