ANSWERS FROM KAREN MALLINGER
QUESTION: Could you please tell me if there are any herbs available in Sweden I can
use for a raging toothache.
ANSWER: So sorry to hear you're in pain. the best natural remedy for a toothache that I know of is cloves. If
you take a whole clove and place it on your gums where the pain is, it will almost immediately relieve the pain.
I'm sure you can get cloves in Sweden in the spices section of your grocery store. A bad, continuing toothache is
the sign of something much more serious, though. So you should get to a dentist as soon as possible. The cloves
will help in the meantime.
ANSWERS FROM DAVID BRILL
PAIN RELIEF
QUESTION: I was wondering if you could inform me on any single herbs/or combos that work well for temporary pain
relief/help clean inside the mouth. This ailment is due to bacteria and or plaque under the gum line
ANSWER: I would use Echinacea and Spilanthes both went by the name toothache plant in the past and are great at
helping with infections. Drop the tincture directly on the affected area.
INFECTED ROOT CANAL
QUESTION: I have an infected root canal - the root canal was done in the mid-90's. My dentist has referred me to an
endodontist (appt is June 18), and I am taking Doxycycline 100 mg for 8 days, taking the last one June 11. I have a
fissure (not sure about spelling) which is growing beside the infected tooth.
A friend who is a homeopath said that the fissure should be opened, and recommended Hepar sulph in a low potency
to help with this. Do you recommend this remedy, and is it o.k. to take while I am taking the antiobiotic? Should I take
the antibiotic until June 18, when the endodonist will open the root canal and clean out....I have not had much pain,
just slight periodically. The tooth beside it also has a root canal.
I would appreciate your advise.
ANSWER: Homeopathic remedies either work or do nothing, I am not a expert in their use but here is some basic
information on Hepar sulph.
What is Hepar sulph?
Hepar sulph is mainly used in infections as it helps to expel pus. It can be very useful in boils and spots. People
needing this remedy are extremely oversensitive, chilly and pale.
What is Hepar sulph. made from?
Calcium sulphide
What are its Key uses?
