Garlic:<br />

Put a piece of a garlic clove inside the cavity. It kills the pain <strong>and</strong> seems <strong>to</strong> slow up<br />

the infection process. At night place a peeled garlic between your teeth <strong>and</strong> your<br />

cheek. This is also good <strong>to</strong> keep a cold from becoming severe. (Make sure you wash<br />

out your mouth in the morning though!)Marshmallow Root<br />

Poultice:<br />

If you have an abscessed <strong>to</strong>oth <strong>and</strong> a swollen jaw, place pieces of dried marshmallow<br />

root between the <strong>to</strong>oth <strong>and</strong> cheek. Renew the poultices in the morning <strong>and</strong> night.<br />

This greatly reduces the inflammation <strong>and</strong> keeps the pain in check.<br />
