We all know that feeling. The feeling of being unable to eat, drink, breathe and sleep.
In brief, the toothache oftentimes leaves us debilitated.
Usually, in a case of a toothache people turn to conventional
painkillers, such as Orajel or Anbesol. However, these products contain
anesthetic and benzocaine, both of which are linked to allergic
reactions and other side effects.
Luckily, Mother Nature offers the solution once again. It has been
scientifically proven that the clove oil has the ability to successfully
relieve a toothache.
This oil is a well-known remedy and an effective toothache reliever.
As a matter of fact, people have been using clove oil to treat oral
pain for a long time now. When applied topically, clove oil effectively
numbs the area. Consequently, the nerves endings are temporarily
deadened which results in losing sensation in the affected area.
According to a 2006 study published in the Journal of Dentistry, clove oil works similarly to benzocaine in treating tooth pain and chronic tooth pain.
Eugenol, its key component, makes this oil quite stimulating and able
to improve blood circulation and benefit cardiovascular health.
Clove is one of the best sources of manganese, it promotes bone
strength, it contributes enzymes, and it is vital for metabolism. In
addition, it works as an extremely potent antioxidant which destroys
free radicals and boosts the immune system.
How to Use Clove Oil to Relieve Toothache?
Mix two drops of clove oil with half a teaspoon of coconut oil. Soak a
cotton ball in the mixture and place it in the mouth, against the sore
tooth or gum. Spit out the cotton once the pain eases. Never practice
this method in bed, as it may cause choking.
In addition, you can also use whole cloves. Put the couple of them
nearby the affected area and let it work for a couple of minutes. Then,
chew them with the painful tooth.
