What I have done is to put a few drops on a Q-Tip and dab it around the infected area. If the area is abscessed I doubt that you will feel much. The oregano oil is pretty strong and powerful. This has worked for me several times. You would need to apply it a couple times a day for at least 2 or 3 days to make sure all the infection is gone. If you decide to apply it you should notice a difference within a relatively short period of time. You only need to apply a very small amount. For an adult, I would also be using hydrogen peroxide deluted with water for a mouth wash and scrape around the infected tooth. in between applying the oregano oil. That helps pull all the nasty stuff out. It may take a little longer if this abscess has been festering for a few days or longer. This is really something you need to get after right away. This is what has worked for me, so I am only offering that experience. I am not a doctor or dentist so you have to use your own judgment. Oregano oil can smart for a few seconds. It is very strong stuff! Paula ----- Original Message ----- From: gmetrop...@aol.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 10:28 PM Subject: Re: CS>Exceptions
I tried the aloe too but it was so mucousy and slimy making it difficult to continue especially when he feels no pain. I will try a smaller piece. Can oregano oil be applied straight to the gum of a child? ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
