Buyer beware.
I would like to share an experience of relief that I experienced with a toothache.
I awoke early this morning with pain in a tooth cavity. I kept trying to extract the food that was irritating the damaged area of the tooth. I remembered that I had essential oils.
I got out of bed and looked through the oils. I could not find the Clove oil, so I used the Thieves oil blend that has Clove in it. I put a few drops of Thieves in a glass of water. I swished the water through the area of pain.
After I had completed this I was still in need of relief. So I prayed to find more help, the thought came to search in my Essential Oils Desk Reference book for solutions that could help with the pain in my tooth.
I went to go find the book and as I came close to where the book was, I found the Clove oil. I put the Clove oil in a glass of water and swished the oil and water mixture around in my mouth and finally experienced pain relief that I was looking for.
I am now interested to find other oils for other types of pain that I have. In the process of finding a solution for my toothache, I also tried Idaho Balsam Fir on the outside of my face where the pain was. I have also found this oil to be effective for sore muscles. Share your experience of the many uses for essential oils!
These therapeutic essential oils are wonderful! Wow!

|---|---|---|
| 1. | Associated topics: muscle-pain — "We examined the evidence regarding the effect of herbal medicine on pain in people with non-specific low-back pain (LBP).... Lavender essential oil applied by acupressure appeared effective in reducing pain and improving flexibility compared to conventional treatment." | Link |
| 2. | Associated topics: dental,tooth-/-teeth,gums,toothache,cavities-/-caries-/-decay — Study 1: "[Oil pulling] would benefit the general population by giving more confidence in the ancient practices, thus preventing tooth decay and loss." Study 2: "Oil pulling therapy has been equally effective like chlorhexidine on halitosis and organisms, associated with halitosis." Study 3: "The oil pulling therapy showed a reduction in the plaque index, modified gingival scores, and total colony count of aerobic microorganisms in the plaque of adolescents with plaque-induced gingivitis." Study 4: "Oil pulling can be used as an effective preventive adjunct in maintaining and improving oral health." Study 5: "The myth that the effect of oil-pulling therapy on oral health was just a placebo effect has been broken, and there are clear indications of possible saponification and emulsification process, which enhances its mechanical cleaning action." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: muscle-pain,muscles — "[T]he effect of essential oils on skeletal and smooth muscle...: The first type of effect on skeletal muscle involved a contracture and inhibition of the twitch response to nerve stimulation shown by a sample of clary sage, dill, fennel, frankincense, and nutmeg; ...lavender reduced the twitch response alone." | Link |
| 4. | Associated topics: muscle-pain,muscles — "Herbalists treat skin ailments, such as fungal infections (like candidiasis), wounds, eczema, and acne, with lavender oil. It is also used in a healing bath for joint and muscle pain. One study evaluating treatments for children with eczema found [that] it was therapeutic touch from the mother that improved symptoms; in other words, massage with and without essential oils (including lavender) both reduced the dry, scaly skin lesions. Another study found that lavender oil may improve pain control after surgery." | Link |
| 5. | Associated topics: dental,tooth-/-teeth,gums,toothache,cavities-/-caries-/-decay — "Both clove and benzocaine gels had significantly lower mean pain scores than placebos. No significant difference was observed between clove and benzocaine regarding pain scores. Clove gel might possess a potential to replace benzocaine as a topical [anesthetic] agent before needle insertion." | Link |
| 6. | Associated topics: muscles — "In nine studies, Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) has shown effectiveness for arteriosclerosis, autism, Bells palsy, chemotherapy-induced toxicity, degenerative disc disease, detox, muscle wasting, muscular dystrophy, neuroblastoma, neuroprotection, oxidative stress, and spinal stenosis." | Link |
