Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I have used Echinacea for this; along with salt, water, and hydrogen peroxide rinses. -----Original Message----- keridwen2000 [keridwen] Saturday, December 06, 2003 7:41 PM To: herbal remedies [herbal remedies] Infected gum Help!! I have an infected/inflammed gum. I think. Puffy around the tooth, bleeds a little, I think there is pus. Have had this in the past, but that was years ago. Went away back then, not so sure it is going away now. (It is around a tooth that juts out and is uneven with the rest) I really, really, really want to avoid seeing a dentist about this. I'm sure they will push antibiotics on me, and maybe insist on an xray. I am trying to avoid xrays and have a bit of a battle going on about it. I have refused routine xrays lately and they are getting hot under the collar about it. What would be a good thing to get rid of this problem? Collodial Silver? Oil of Oregeno? Something else? I'm using Tea Tree Oil right now because that is all I've got at home. Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 I think it may be the tooth and gum formula from the files you need! Tooth and Gum Formula Ingredients: Echinacea, Bayberry, Oak bark, Cayenne, Tea tree oil, Clove oil, 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 A Dropperful is considered to be about 1/2 way up the dropper. Use Organic ingredients where ever possible. The formulator of this formula, Dr. Richard Schulze, says " 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. " Dr. Schulze stated the following during an interview with Sam Biser. " For receding, infected or rotting gums, diseased dental bone, teeth in danger of removal � use this formula . . . " Usage suggestions: The formula is strong but can be applied directly to the gums. You can take a small sip and swish it around in your mouth. Most people prefer to put a dropperful (35 drops) into an ounce of water and use as a mouth wash or put about 8 drops on a wet tooth brush and brush their teeth. Do not rinse your mouth!
