Toothache garlic: product properties and features of its use
Toothache can surprise anyone.Sometimes it happens that there are no medicines on hand that can help get rid of the sore mouth. This article will tell you whether garlic can help with toothache, as well as the properties of this product and the features of its use.
How does this work?
Garlic lobules contain substances that have an anti-inflammatory effect. Also, these components help to reduce pain. That is why the treatment of toothache with garlic is so widely used in the people. To use this method, people have long been. Putting garlic cloves on the wrist to the place where the pulse is determined, helped to reduce toothache and improve well-being. Garlic pulp also contains substances that act as antiseptics. They negatively affect pathogenic microbes, leading to a decrease in their numbers. That is why garlic in traditional medicine is often used for the treatment and prevention of many infectious pathologies.
Garlic can affect the nerve endings, leading to irritation. Such changes in the nervous system and lead to the fact that the arising pain impulse in the area of the affected tooth gradually subsides. As a rule, the pain begins to "fade out" gradually. If the pain syndrome is expressed significantly, then it is impossible to achieve its complete disappearance by applying garlic cloves on the arm. In this case only some reduction in pain can be achieved.
Precautionary measures
Putting garlic to reduce tooth pain is only an emergency measure. It is rational to resort to this method only if there is no medicine at hand, and you cannot go to the dentist. Dentists say that such therapy, carried out at home, in no case should not be an alternative to dental treatment.
Garlic only helps to reduce the severity of pain, but does not lead to complete recovery. After applying garlic cloves, a sensation of pain relief may actually appear on the wrist, however, this does not mean that the inflammatory process in the tooth is stopped. To cure an inflamed aching tooth, a mandatory appeal to the dentist is required.
Some people are so afraid to visit the dental office that they delay treatment in every possible way. To eliminate toothache, they often apply garlic cloves or resort to other methods of home therapy. Such an independent "treatment" only leads to the fact that the inflammatory process in the affected tooth becomes chronic. The longer the visit to the dentist is postponed, the higher the chances that it will not be possible to save the aching tooth.
It is better to resort to applying garlic on the wrist once. After that, you should always sign up for a consultation with a doctor, if possible as soon as possible. When applying garlic cloves to the area of pulsation of the arteries, caution should be exercised. This method of treatment is not suitable for people who are allergic to garlic. The risk of developing allergic rashes in these people is quite high.
Garlic contains a whole range of biologically active components that can have a local irritant effect. This contributes to the fact that after applying garlic cloves to the skin may remain red spots.
To reduce the risk of such skin phenomena, after garlic is removed from the hand, the skin should be washed with copious amounts of running water.
Traditional medicine experts offer several ways to use garlic. So, it can not only be used externally. From garlic can be prepared tincture, which can also be used to eliminate a sudden pain attack. Preparing such a medicine with the use of alcohol or vodka, therefore, is unacceptable for use in children.
Some people simply put garlic in the area of the affected tooth. Many reviews of people who have tried this method of treatment indicate that after carrying out such a procedure, the pain in the inflamed tooth somewhat decreased. However, dentists do not recommend such procedures. The substances in garlic can have a local irritant effect, which can contribute to damage to the mucous membranes covering the gums. Also, do not resort to this method of treatment for people who suffer from periodontal disease. Direct attachment of garlic cloves to a diseased tooth can only lead to the fact that the symptoms of periodontal disease increase.
Home treatment methods
To eliminate the pain syndrome that has arisen in the inflamed tooth, you can put garlic on your hands. First you need to decide on the area where you need to attach garlic clove. It is better that this is the wrist area, where the pulsation is well defined. To do this, two fingers of the other hand should be placed a couple of centimeters below the thumb directly on the area between the palm and the beginning of the forearm. In this zone, you will feel a well-felt ripple. This point is most suitable for garlic compress.
Applying garlic clove to the hand, which is opposite to the side of the inflamed tooth. For example, if pain appeared in the left side of the face, then a garlic clove should be applied on the right wrist. It helps to get rid of toothache more successfully. You can put on the hand just a peeled clove of garlic, however, if desired, you can attach gruel. To do this, garlic must be passed through a press or grated. To prevent the garlic mass from flowing down the arm, it is better to put it in gauze or bandage, and then fix it.
If desired, peeled garlic clove can be applied to the affected tooth area. Some people pre-chop garlic, and then, soaking a cotton wool with a garlic mass, apply it to the affected tooth area.
It is worth noting that in folk medicine there are even ways of applying garlic paste with salt or soda to an inflamed tooth. However, dentists do not support such treatment, since, in their opinion, it not only does not help to cope with toothache, but can also contribute to the development of dangerous complications.
Even herbal remedies that are prepared on the basis of vegetable oil are used against the pain in the tooth. To prepare such a natural medicine, you can use any oil that will be at home. Garlic mass is mixed with a small amount of vegetable oil, and then wrap the mixture in gauze, folded several times. Then such a gauze bag is applied to the diseased tooth. Adding oil to the garlic mass somewhat reduces the irritating effect of garlic on the mucous membranes of the gums.
Since ancient times, people have used garlic to eliminate toothache. The secrets of such treatment were carefully kept and passed on to their descendants. One of these old ways to treat toothache has survived to this day. For the preparation of folk remedies requires only a little bread and garlic. Breadcrumb must be soaked with water to a slurry. Next, in this bread mass, you must add chopped garlic. The resulting slurry must be wrapped in gauze or bandage and attached to the affected tooth. After the pain syndrome diminishes, the gauze from the tooth should be removed and the mouth rinsed with water.
To eliminate the pain in the tooth, you can use rinsing with garlic juice. To do this, a few cloves of garlic should be grated and squeezed juice from the pulp. The resulting juice must be poured into 150 ml of warm boiled water, and now the natural healing solution for rinsing is ready. To achieve the effect should be rinsed every 2 hours.
Specialists of traditional medicine note that garlic juice can be added to cooked sage broth.Such a drug helps to reduce the pain in the tooth more intensely. Also, such compresses not only help to reduce pain in the teeth, but also have an antiseptic effect on the entire oral cavity.
The effectiveness of such treatment may be different. Reviews of people who have tried to treat a toothache with garlic, also confirm this. Some say that garlic compresses do help reduce pain in the area of the affected tooth, while others say that this therapy did not help them at all. Doctors in this situation note that It is better to treat any pathology of the teeth only in the dentist’s office, and home therapy is often ineffective.
