Here`s something to chew on for that tooth pain!

• Home remedies for toothache #1: Clove has long been used for toothache relief and is often found in topical dental solutions for quick pain relief and to reduce infection. It`s oil is found in common over the counter pain relief gels. You can get the oil or the leaves. Both are useful for temporary pain relief. If you use the oil, use just a dab on the tooth that has pain. Do not swallow this oil as even a teaspoon full can be toxic if ingested.

  A couple of the leaves can be just as effective. Place in your mouth and chew just a little to release the oil... then place in the mouth near the problem tooth in between the gum and lip like someone who is chewing tobacco.

  Leave for up to 30 minutes. Repeat as often as needed until you can see the dentist.



• Home remedies for toothache #2: Make a powder of ginger and cayenne pepper and add a couple of drops of apple cider vinegar to make a paste. Cayenne pepper has capsaicin a natural pain reliever. Ginger will help relieve inflammation and the vinegar can help kill bacteria.

  Saturate a cotton ball with the paste and place directly on the tooth. This paste can irritate the gum's so try to keep it on the tooth and not on the gum's.



• Home remedies for toothache #3: Get some activated charcoal at your local health food store and use a heaping teaspoon with enough water to make a paste. Take a tea bag, ( black and green tea are both good), and moisten and apply the past to the tea bag. Place in the mouth over the affected tooth and gently bite down until the paste is squished around the tooth, but being careful not to break the tea bag. In most cases you will feel relief in about 10 minutes.


• Home remedies for toothache #4: For some types of toothache 3% hydrogen peroxide which can be found in any drugstore or supermarket can be an effective remedy for temporary relief of pain. Swiss a couple of caps full of this solution around the affected area for 30 seconds. Spit out and rinse mouth with warm water.


• Home remedies for toothache #5: Salt has long been used to help with toothaches. We recommend using sea salt or mineral salt as regular table salt has been stripped of its minerals and other natural components. Take a cup of warm water and a teaspoon of sea salt and swish in your mouth for 30 seconds and spit out. The salt will help reduce swelling and the minerals can aid healing.


• Acupressure remedies for toothache #6: Try some acupressure. In between your thumb and your forefinger is some web like flesh. Apply pressure to the back of the hand in this area near the bone at the base of the forefinger, but still in the web like fleshy area between the thumb and forefinger.

  Apply pressure with thumb from the opposite hand for 1 minute. If only doing one hand you should do the one on the same side of the toothache.

  Or you can do both hands. Another way is to place ice on this area. As unusual as this sounds using pressure and ice in this area of the hand has been used successfully for temporary toothache relief many times.



• Home remedies for toothache 7: At the first signs of a toothache start eating foods high in and supplementing calcium and magnesium. These help ease the nerves of your teeth and gums. Take 400 milligrams of calcium and 250 milligrams of magnesium.


• Home remedies for toothache #8: To help prevent there being a next time try this natural rinse for teeth and gums. Mix 1 cup of warm water, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon of Goldenseal powder, and 2 drops of tea tree oil and rinse mouth twice daily.


• Home remedies for toothache #9: Mix equal amounts of baking soda and sea salt along with 4 drops of tea tree oil. Fresh squeeze a quarter lemon and add the lemon juice. Then add just enough warm water to make a creamy paste.


• Home remedies for toothache #10: For those with more adventure who want to try some of the truly ancient remedies for tooth care try urine therapy. Following number nine, but instead, leave off the salt and lemon and replace with ones own fresh urine.

To bring a complete balance to body, mind and spirit eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and sea vegetation. Meditate, do daily deep breathing and actively practice a spiritual faith of your choosing.
