michaelOfGeorgia -> Learn something new every day!!! (8/16/2007 9:17:53 AM)
for the past few days i've been having a toothache which has progressively gotten worse. the earliest appt i can get is Tuesday. so, i did a search for some way to deal with the pain until then and found a site of Home remedies.one of which deals with using sliced cucumbers placed on or near the tooth pain. amazingly this is working wonderfully. anyone else find amazing, yet strange, ways to handle pain without drugs?

That is at least five days from now. Toothache is a torture. I hope that you survive.

michael I have recently been exactly where you are. Thankfully I have an ordained druid healer as a Master. 1) regular lipton tea bags. Really! wet with warm water and place against the offending tooth/gum area. use for 10 minutes to 1/2 an hour. The tannins in the tea are effective at localized pain relief. 2) clove oil or cloves. You can get this at the local supermarket in the spices section. Rub the clove oil on the gumline or squish the clove between two spoons and place the crushed clove against the gumline (spit out the clove itself after about 20 minutes) clove oil taste kind of like black licorice (spelling?) and has natural dental pain relief effects - so natural clove oil is used in some of those temporary dental fillings for extra pain relief. 3. Salt water rinse. This isn't really for pain relief, although it does give a little. 2 teaspoons warm water 1 teaspoon table salt or sea salt. dissolve, swish and spit. this will help to dry out and drain any surface absesses and also keep the area free of surface infection. it also helps reduce swelling. my Owner is a vast open book of weird midwife's remedies (he was actually a certified midwife!) he knows a ton of weird natural remedies including ones for headache, nausea, ear infections and labor pains!!!! I'm expecting my fourth um and with his help I'm actually considering foregoing the epidural this time! (and that's saying ALOT as I'm a bit of a masochist but PAIN pain . . . uh, no!) LOL if those tooth ache remedies don't help - he says he has more, don't hesitate to write me! Lady Scarlet

oil of cloves really does work although it might hurt a little more ar first.

LdyScarletDomina -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/16/2007 12:13:30 PM)
durus very true - it aches a little bit as it absorbs into the root, but it lasts ALOT longer than oragel in my opinion. I had a bad absess a few months ago very early in my pregnancy and couldn't have the work done. the tea bag and clove oil trick was safe for someone who couldn't take even aspirin much less vicodin!

my vote is for Cloves too.....i keep meaning to get some for emergencies.

favesclava -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/16/2007 1:10:22 PM)
cloves for toothaches. meat tenderizer for insect bites ,place on bite.ginger root for nausea chew the root or get sugared strips at asian stores.

i'll try almost anything...except the cloves. those things make me sick. when cloves are used on ham during the holidays, i have to cut too much ot the ham to get away from the taste. been experimenting with a few of the other remedies though. so far, i'm out of pain, for now. thanks all

My mouth is a slow bloomer. Wisdom teeth came in a little over a year ago. My California dentist refused to take them out saying she was not qualified. Anyway, two week's ago they started hurting. My dentist here told me they had no room...all 14 dentists were on vacation the entire week. Anyway, I was living on advil. It works well. Had them ripped from my mouth yesterday. Aside from the sporatic bleeding it was the best thing I have done in year's for my body. At least it feels that way now with the lack of pain. Drugs and more drugs.

Durus -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/16/2007 7:00:27 PM)
There are other uses for ginger root...but I wouldn't call it a remedy exactly.

DiurnalVampire -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/16/2007 7:05:31 PM)
Ginger is my best friend when it comes to toothaches. That and coffee. Hot coffee (or well, warm, not scalding) swished around the totch ache helped me cope when I had my problems. I had am abscessed tooth that eventualy had to be pulled and the only thing that made me feel better was the heat from the coffee. I am sure any other warm beverage will work as well. DV

LdyScarletDomina -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/17/2007 6:57:35 PM)
favesclava - I think the other uses for ginger root that Durus was talking about is something called Figging. This is where a dominant takes a finger of ginger and bruises the outside skin and then inserts it into a submissive's anus. It creates a series of sensations from burning to heightened arousal. I've seen this done before and it is very interesting. reference: http://www.msmargaretdavis.com/Figging.html

~oil of clove~ Ever see the film, Marathon Man? Dr.Zell, taught me about pain,and relief.........

EbonyFtshGoddess -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/18/2007 7:34:59 AM)
get some clove bud essential oil. like seriously, clove oil or clove bud oil. you'll feel so much better with your tooth until you can get to the doc.

EbonyFtshGoddess -> RE: Learn something new every day!!! (8/18/2007 7:56:23 AM)
lol yet ANOTHER post script.. soak a cotton ball with the clove oil and tuck it right next to the affected tooth or affected part of your mouth..i just feel bad for someone with a tooth pain.
