Home Remedies for Toothaches
In this video, Dr. Axe discusses natural remedies for toothaches. He shares his top three remedies and provides tips on how to use them effectively.
Essential Oils for Toothaches
- Clove oil is the best essential oil for toothaches, as it has high antioxidant properties.
- Apply a drop of clove oil directly to the affected area.
- For teething babies, mix equal amounts of clove oil and coconut oil and apply to the gums.
Cloves or Clove Powder
- Cloves or clove powder mixed with coconut oil can also be used if you don't have clove essential oil.
- However, clove essential oil is more effective than clove powder.
Sea Salt for Pain Relief
- Gargling and swishing sea salt in the mouth can provide relief from toothache pain.
- Sea salt has natural antibacterial properties and can act as an analgesic.
Peppermint Oil for Numbing
- Peppermint oil contains menthol, which can help numb the affected area.
- Create a mixture of clove oil and peppermint oil to rub directly on the toothache area.
Additional Tips
- Reduce sugar intake as it can contribute to toothache-causing bacteria and inflammation.
- If the toothache persists or worsens, it's important to see a dentist.
Remember these ingredients - clove oil, peppermint oil, and sea salt - as they are effective home remedies for overcoming toothaches.
