This past year I had a throbbing toothache. After reading up on a natural remedy for it, I went into the kitchen cupboard to the spice shelf and found my cloves (buds). Yes, the kind used on the outside of a ham while cooking!
The pain was so intense that I chewed and sucked on cloves all day long. It didn't take long once I started chewing on the clove for the pain to subside. For two days I had a clove in the corner of my mouth-and my pain disappeared for good!
Some info I found about Cloves:
The health benefits of clove oil can be attributed to its antimicrobial, antifungal, antiseptic, antiviral and stimulating properties. The oil is used for treating a variety of health disorders including toothaches, indigestion, cough, asthma, headache, stress and blood impurities.

Clove is rich in minerals such as calcium, hydrochloric acid, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and vitamin A and vitamin C.
Dental Care: The most prominent use of clove oil is in dental care. The germicidal properties of the oil make it very effective for relieving dental pain, tooth ache, sore gums and mouth ulcers. Clove oil contains the compound eugenol, which has been used in dentistry since numerous years. Gargles with diluted clove oil help in easing the throat. The characteristic smell of clove oil helps removing bad breath. As a result, clove oil is added to numerous dental products and medications, including, mouth washes, and tooth pastes.
Happy PAIN-FREE Teeth!
