Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi, My 9 year old has been complaining for a few days about a sore/cut in her mouth. She is whining a lot! Is there a tea I could have her swish around in her mouth that might help this to heal faster? Thanks Mindy Kittay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 I've found a sage infusion laced lightly with honey to be very beneficial to most kinds of mouth and throat sores, as long as it isn't thrush. A chickweed infusion will also help ease the pain. I'd prepare it with honey also. Honey is a carrier and helps your system process the herbs. Then you need to determine if she cut or bit herself, or if the sore is a canker sore, and treat the *cause* .

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 OOOps. My sincere apologies Doc and all the list. I sent that last message with my complete sig. line which includes some information that is a no no. I'll try to watch that closer from now on.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Dear Mindy, Best bet is the Tooth and Gum formula: Love, Doc Tooth and Gum Formula Ingredients: Echinacea, Bayberry, Oak bark, Cayenne, Tea tree oil, Clove oil, DMSO and Peppermint oil. Be sure to shake well before each use. 10 oz Echinacea Tincture 1/4 cup of Tea Tree Oil 4 oz. Bayberry Tincture 2 oz. Oak Gall (or 3X Oak Bark) Tincture 2 TBS. Cayenne Tincture 2 1/2 Dropperfuls of Peppermint Oil 2 1/2 Dropperfuls of Clove Oil 1 Dropperful of DMSO A Dropperful is considered to be about 1/2 way up the dropper. Use Organic ingredients where ever possible. The Echinacea tincture deadens the pain immediately – when you get it down into your gum line. It also is a surface disinfectant and stimulates your immune system to start working against bacteria that is down in there. The bayberry is one of the stronger astringents, so it will take that gum tissue and literally tighten it right up in front of your eyes. . . . " Oak is also an astringent. "Oh yes, peppermint is a very strong disinfectant, and it’s a very strong circulatory stimulant. Dr. Christopher even listed it next to cayenne in his School of Natural Healing under circulation stimulants. Peppermint also reduces inflammation, so it’s a great one for curing dental diseases."
