Toothache Remedy


I found a home remedy that really works, so I thought I'd pass it along. I had a toothache over the weekend and Ibuprofen just wasn't working fast enough, so I Googled and found out that if you cut a clove of garlic in half, then give it a little squish--not too much though--and place in on the tooth area that hurts it actually removes the pain and almost instantly! I was totally surprised! It can be a bit hot, especially if you smash it enough that the juices start flowing. You just want to release a little bit of the juices, but boy it sure works! Of course no one cares to be too near you, but then again that could have it's benefits too somedays. LOL!

Clove oil will also work, although I didn't have any of that and also a slice of fresh ginger will work, but I didn't care for the ginger. It was wet and cold! Seems garlic has lots of great uses and this is just one of them!
