Clove oil is a
wonderful anaesthetic, especially when your gums are painful. Use a cotton swab
or, in an emergency, a matchstick covered with material. Dip the swab into the
clove oil and apply to the painful area. If it is of sufficient strength the
clove oil will numb the nerve. If it penetrates, it may well take the pain out
of the gum. This is not a cure, but will provide temporary relief from
toothache. Failure to properly clean the oral cavity will leave bacteria in
place and result in the return of the infection. If you cannot obtain clove
oil, use cloves. Chew them or put them onto the painful tooth and bite. This
should provide some relief.
If the gums are
very swollen, use the following remedy:
½ teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon of salt
2 drops of mustard oil
Apply the mixture
to the entire mouth, letting it flow over the gums. Ensure that you visit a
dentist and oral hygienist as soon as possible.
Dental hygiene is
best achieved by avoiding substances that are rich in sugar, such as sweets,
lozenges and chocolates. Try to finish meals with an apple, particularly if you
are unable to brush your teeth. Apples are good cleaners for the teeth and
gums. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, on waking and before going to bed.
Massage the gums regularly with a finger.
Disorders of the
lower teeth suggest a stomach disorder and the need for more alkaline-forming
food. Infection of the upper teeth suggests a disorder of the colon, which can
be cleaned with the following juice.
Make 500ml from
equal amounts of the following juices:
Add a pinch of salt
and black pepper and ½ teaspoon of paprika. Drink undiluted. Chew 25g of
parsley while drinking this juice.
