Guest guest Report post Posted September 12, 2003 > anyone have anything for a toothache?? Its killing me... Thanks! Sorry to hear this Becky. Been there, done that with toothaches before. Sometimes a bit of clove oil dabbed on the tooth will help numb the pain (temproary, short term). Use a cotton swab, and apply carefully. You really don't want to get this on your tongue (ask me how I know!!). Another folk remedy is to place an aspirin (like Bayer) on the tooth, and hold it in place by gently biting on it. You don't want to crush it, but let it break down and dissolve on its own. This won't be pleasant tasting either. Or if you have some good quality bourbon, dab some on the tooth and surrounding gum area. Works sort of like the clove oil, but if you like bourbon, it won't taste as bad. Hubby was having a problem with a tooth, and we came across something in Wal-Mart. It's called " Red Cross Toothache Medication " , comes in a small bottle (1/8 oz), and is packaged in a blister pack. Worked pretty good, but not very good tasting according to hubby. OralGel Maximum Strength Toothache formulation works pretty good too. These are only temporary measures, and your best course of action is to get to your dentist as soon as you can. Sometimes what seems to be a toothache turns out to be an infection of some sort. Good luck! Carol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted September 12, 2003 Hi Becky I'd try clove oil. A little dabbed onto a cotton ball and stuffed up against the tooth will help numb the area. Don't use too much cause it can burn some (clove is strong stuff), and be warned it does taste yucky. I had a friend who once had a tooth abscess, but couldn't make it to the dentist immediately cause he was living in the mountians in a camp ground @ 10,000 ft for the summer (and had no cash on hand or insurance), so I made him up a combo of powdered goldenseal root with a drop of clove EO made into a paste with hydrogen peroxide. He packed that around the tooth until he was able to get his mouth to a dentist (now that is a really yucky tasting mixture ;-p ). It helped the swelling, infection and pain go down. It was also good because when he actually made it to the dentist later that week (thank heavens for Western Union and parents *lol* they were able to work on his tooth immediately since it wasn't all swollen and infected still.

Its frustrating when you do what the dentist recommends and its still not fixed. grrr Life.... ain't it grand? That is why you have to sign that little piece of paper BEFORE the root canal. Root canals/crowns don't come cheap either and here I was thinking it was FIXED. HA silly becky.

Yes, Chris, glad you noticed. Sometimes folks have a 'go overboard and do the max' mentality (oh, no, not _me_, ever! LOL) and injure themselves. That friend of yours sure did with crushed garlic on bare skin, covered with a bandage. I can imagine what it did to her skin! I should have been more explicit about not crushing it. I hope I hear back from the OP. I know that remedy gives immediate relief.

Guest guest Report post Posted November 4, 2003 Dear Mary, your message is very hard to answer. If I read it correctly, you are asking us to somehow recommend something that will make pharmacuetical drugs somehow less toxic, and therefore less side effects as that is why they cause nausea. I'm sorry but I do not know of anything that will do that. The doctor probably has something to give for nausea. Even though it is a drug and not something that I would normally recommend, if you/he need to use these strong medications for a treatment it may be a possiblity to need to also use the accompaning medication for nausea too. I am not saying that there isn't something natural that will help with the side effects of those drugs, but I personally don't know of any, but my knowledge is limited in this area. Also mixing allopathic drugs with alternatives can sometimes affect each other in other ways. Another part in trying to help suggest something with the problem is that we really don't have any idea of his history, his age (child or adult?),his condition that necessitates the treatment, and what the other drugs are that he took that you mentioned and why, etc. As for the nausea, you can try ginger capsules from the health food store or ginger tea ( I have doubts that ginger ale or snaps might have sufficient real ginger to do the job) or even consider marijuana (again adult or child?) in certain circumstances such as for very serious or terminal illnesses. Without knowing anything it is very hard to try and help with possible information. I do know of illnesses that are treated with interferon and ribavirin, but would not try and guess what is the case here. It does appear though that you are dealing with a serious illness. If the pharmacuetical drugs taken in the past cause such reactions as you have written, have you looked or researched to see if there are any possible alternative treatment for his condition? As I stated earlier, without knowing anything and as for one reason or another it may not be possible, but it just seems like a logical question from my end. Someone else in the group might know of some herbs that might help control nausea or you can do a search on our archives. It must be a difficult situation for your son and yourself, I wish that I knew more that might help but also am afraid to suggest too much without knowing much about the situation. good luck, Frank , " Maryann Call " <wocall@e...> wrote: > Son starts treatment tomorrow with interferon ribavirin nasty stuff side effects are extreme nasaue sp?? he has been throwing up for 2 years now off and on taken every medication known to man can anyone tell me something to calm stomach down so this treatment wont be as horrific as we ve heard i m gonna get him ginger ale and snaps to munch on i know that helps some but dont know if it will for something this serious any info will be appreciated i HATE medications dont trust hardly any of them thanks mary > > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a natural gingerale. It contains only natural cane sugar for sweeteners. The best natural gingerale is a Jamaican brand although any HFS variety is better for this! I use them quite often.

Here is a recipe for homemade gingerale that I came across recently. JoAnn --- ----------- Homemade Ginger Ale YIELD: 8-OUNCE SERVING 3 ounces ginger syrup (see below) 5 ounces sparkling mineral water ice cubes 1. Pour the syrup into a 10-ounce glass and add the ice cubes. 2. Slowly add the sparkling water. Stir and serve. Making Homemade Ginger Syrup With minimum effort, you can make this flavorful stevia-sweetened syrup to have on hand whenever you're in the mood for a refreshing glass of sparkling ginger ale. GINGER SYRUP YIELD: APPROXIMATELY 4 CUPS 4 cups water 4-or 5-inch piece fresh ginger 1/2 teaspoon white stevia powder 2 tablespoons vanilla flavoring 1 tablespoon lemon extract 1. Peel and finely chop the ginger 2. Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the ginger and stevia, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes. 3. Strain the liquid into a heatproof container, and stir in the vanilla and lemon 4. Covered and refrigerated, this syrup will keep for several days. http://www.bodyecologydiet.com/pages_new/recipes/burgers.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
