Natural Toothache Relief

Natural herbs have been used to relieve toothache pain since history was recorded and probably even earlier than that. Hundreds of years ago, herbs were the only way to stop the pain. Dentists were just starting to come around, although they didn’t have anything like the equipment and sophistication that they have these days. Teeth were pulled during these times, but it normally happened with alcohol to numb the pain then pliers to remove the tooth.

Natural herbs such as cloves, calendula, tarragon, and yarrow can be used to help relieve the pain until you can get to the dentist. For many years, different cultures have relied on herbs to help control the pain of a toothache and provide temporary relief.

The herb known as clove the flower bud of the tree native to tropical areas. Early American physicians were the first to extract the oil from the bud and use it to rub on the gums to relieve toothache. The pain stops almost instantly and even today, if oil of cloves is compared to other natural toothache remedies, cloves are the most effective.

Yarrow can be found in Asia, Europe, and North America. It normally grows wild in meadows, fields, and in open wood lands. The root of the yarrow contains the anaesthetic effect. If you apply the fresh root of yarrow to your tooth or gums, it will help to stop the pain at least until you can get an appointment with the dentist.

Different cultures around the world have relied on herbs to help control the pain of a toothache and provide temporary relief.

For instance, Native Americans rubbed the inner bark from the butternut tree on their gums to get relief from toothaches. The butternut tree is found in North America along rivers in well drained soil, rich woods and even back yards. It is from the same genus as the black walnut tree. Once the tree matures, it can reach heights of up to 60 feet, with the bark being light grey in color, and the leaves and the fruit resembling the black walnut tree.

Throughout the course of time, the use of herbal remedies and preventatives has proven to be a very effective method of treating ailments. If you are interested in herbs or have any questions about them, you’ll find an absolute wealth of information in Helen Andersons book, Herbs The Natural Alternative, which is illustrated so you can recognise each herb. Today doctors and dentists alike are becoming more knowledgeable about herbal alternatives and should be able to recommend natural remedies to you if you request them.
