Dealing with toothache? Discover relief with these natural Ayurvedic remedies

ISLAMABAD: From clove to amla, explore these time-tested Ayurvedic solutions to help alleviate toothache discomfort and support your dental health.

A toothache refers to pain in or around your tooth. Minor toothaches can occur from a temporary gum irritation that you can treat at home

Amla: Amla helps rebuild and develop connective tissues thus keeping teeth healthy, strong and germ-free. To use amla on your teeth and gums, take a teaspoon of Amla powder every day for long-term benefits to oral health.

Clove: Clove oil contains eugenol which has healing properties. It soothes the nerves within the tooth. Chew a few pieces of clove from the area of the offending tooth to allow the oil to penetrate into the affected area.

Wheatgrass: It is a strong intoxicant which helps relieving tooth pain, and fights tooth decay. Chew on a few strands of wheatgrass on the side of the affected area.

Turmeric: Mix finely powdered turmeric with mustard oil, make a paste and apply on the affected area. Turmeric has anti-bacterial properties, which helps prevents dental caries and reduce tooth ache. Mix finely powdered turmeric with mustard oil and make a paste. Apply on the affected area before going to bed.
