Trust Your Body And Your Teeth Too

Who likes to be in pain :)

Past few days, my tooth or gum have been hurting.  Maybe, I was too rough on my mouth - not sure completely, so I can't say, I will not do it again :)  Yet, I'll be more careful going forward.

Anyways, it's been a few days, on and off.  I dripped valerian, Valor blend, helichrysum, myrrh, even wintergreen, RutaVala and Deep Relief - all at different times.  When I drip essential oil in my mouth, naturally, I get saliva.  I hold it as long as I can before swallowing (kind of bathing the spot).  This morning, I rubbed buckthorn oil on - all is helpful.  Yet, I still have the problem.  It is especially hard at night, when the pain wakes you up.  

This early morning, as always,  I went in the backyard with our cat Cheddar.  I love him so much, even when he tries to sneak into the garage :)

Then, it was our dog's Pepper's turn.  She is 15 1/2 and is using it to her advantage.  She prefers to walk in the backyard and around the house instead of on the sidewalk, where she will drag her feet.  Though, when I bring her to a park, she will run.  It is summertime, and she is hot, I get it.  Why not make her wet then?  This morning, I bathed her in the grass saturated with a morning dew - that made her lively! :)  

We came home, and I gave her a marrow bone.  

Why am I saying all this?  Because, when I'm with my loving daughter Pepper and mischievous grandson Cheddar, I get to relax and think.  

Why am I in pain?  Could be a number of reasons, including, and most likely primarily, from my emotions.  I also know that my body is intelligent and knows what to do to stay well.  All I have to do is trust it, relax and do what it tells me.  As soon as I thought of that, my body relaxed and the pain subsided.  I made myself fresh carrot / red beats juice and felt good!

Btw, I did have quite a bit of watermelon after ingesting so many essential oils last night.  I also did finger vibrating massage of my gums last night - that helped too.  And I drank some essential oils with NingXia Nitro - Sacred Frankincense, Lemon Myrtle, and ginger in raw buckthorn oil.

I know, I can take care of myself - who else can? :)  Definitely, not the dentist :)

So far, what is helping me the most is Valor + valerian.  I also dripped Sacred Frankincense and wintergreen.  Fresh aloe felt good, as well as a combo of teas (you can even lay a tea bag on a spot), but the relief did not last long.

Looks like I'm doing much much better.  It did not hurt after eating today!  This means, I don't need to use the essential oils until the next time it hurts.  It's like drinking when you're thirsty :) Use it when you need it.

Just as I was feeling glorious, I got worse - a toothache!  

Analyzing why it happened, all I can think of - I didn't listen to my body.  Instead of resting when my body was telling me, I went hiking.

I spent last night figuring out what to do - the combo and the oils I used were not doing the trick.  I remembered, in the past, I used Thieves.  I used the thieves roll on, which is diluted with sesame oil.  Then I got melissa. These are quite powerful, and I trusted they would give results.  Freedom blend, one of my favorite, felt miraculous.  I also dripped tea tree.  All in all, my blood has become essential oils, as the French doctor Daniel Penoel would say.  I did use spearmint to cool off the hurting spot.

This morning, I dripped melissa again, and later, some raw hempseed oil.   I focused on taking care of Cheddar, Pepper and the plants outside, leaving my body do its job.

Staying with my belief in getting well!

My husband kepps on telling me to go to the dentist.  Why would I do that?  Any dentist, even holistic (not "wholistic") would see the inflammation and recommend something to stop it or block the pain, or even worse, pull the tooth out.  This is what doctors do...

No way I am doing it!  I have saved my tooth probably 3 times by now.  Wish I knew what I know now when I came to this country.  Eating the wrong food compromised my internal organs and therefore teeth.  

Of course, in the moment of pain and weakness, one wants someone else to take care of you, relieve the pain.  However, if you think of it, in the long run, you are the only one who can hear and listen to your own body.  For me, it is also important to be an example for others.

This time, I've been off balance for about a week, which is unusual for me. It takes patience and strong belief in my body doing the right thing.

Btw, did I support my internal organs this time or follow the meridians?  A little, yes.  Yet, I figured, the amount of essential oils I ingested would get distributed by my body as needed.

My tooth is much better, but not well yet.  Now I dilute a few drops of essential oils in buckthorn oil.  Buckthorn oil is soothing.  

Update

Happy to report that my tooth and gums have not hurt for 2 days now and I have not used any essential oils either.  Except for last night - I rubbed myrrh on my so beat up gums.  Feeling exhausted yesterday evening and having a headache since the morning,  I forced myself to go hiking to get fresh air and exercise.  It paid off!  While hiking, I used Deep Relief roll on externally on my beat up jaw.  I'm almost back to normal, though, I will go to a dentist now, as I suspect I got a small hole.  Either the whole thing started from inflamed gums (maybe, my body was burning some toxins) or there was a small hole, which did not protect my tooth nerve from being irritated by something I ate or drank.  Not sure.  However, now that it feels fine, the dentist can't tell me that I have a bad nerve, etc. :)

These past few days, I've been eating soft foods only on one side of my mouth, which is not so good for alignment.  I made sure to do my alignment exercises every day and moved my jaws to activate the muscles.

I will continue using essential oils, sea buckthorn and aloe as needed.  Btw, I also used PanAway, and then PanAway with Valerian and Helichrysum diluted in sea buckthorn oil.

A lot of work, yes, but I get to keep my teeth :)  And this is most important - I love and care about every bit of myself.  At times of pain, I was so fed up with the tooth.  Yet, the next day, when I was pain-free, I realized how much I was happy to have it.  At one point, even though I was so exhausted from taking care of my tooth and gums, I did think that I loved my tooth - and the pain subsided!  

From Now On,  if I do not feel well, I remind myself that I got a priceless gift - my body - that I respect and so care about.

Note.

This is just one of so many useful posts, unfortunately now private, I have.  The ones that may be of highest value, I put in my book.
