The most obvious thing would be to use Arnica. You can get 200C at the co-ops.

There may be better options for homeopathic remedies at this point, but couldn't

help you choose one without knowing specific symptoms...

Before we all get too carried away, remember, asking for serious medical advice

here is not only dangerous, it's a bit irresponsible. ly we have a good

dozen certified holistic healers on our database, any one of which is either

capable of handling serious pain using homeopathy, herbs, acupuncture or other

forms of medicine, or referring you to another holistic healer who can. Support

them, let them help you!

While I appreciate everyone throwing out suggestions, I don't want to encourage

group members in asking for free medical advice or support other

good-intentioned people for throwing out " what worked for me " . Even though both

ends of this equation prove to be incredibly tempting to do, it's a disaster in

the making, not to mention, very, very bad medicine.

Some time ago, I had 4 old root canal teeth pulled at the same time which was a

difficult process. I managed the pain using only professional doses of arnica

which is a homeopathic remedy. NO drugs. I also did not take any antibiotics

but used antiviral/antibacterial essential oils and had ozone shots directly to

the site from my holistic dentist. Now, I know this approach is not for

everyone as it requires more attention to what's going on in the body. But it

worked for me and I was able to avoid toxic pharmaceuticals which my body does

not like.

Serious Pain Management

For better or worse, I decided to have one of my wisdom teeth pulled 2 days

ago. I was given a prescription of Vicodin, and told to alternate it with either

Advil or Tylenol until it ran out, and then just alternate the Advil and

Tylenol.

I have been doing this, and I am low on the vicodin. I have a high tolerance

for pain, but I have to say that after all of the pain meds worked their way out

of my system over night, I woke up in so much pain, I practically cried like a

baby.

I do have some willow bark on hand to make a pain relieving tea, but I cannot

imagine it being effective in this situation, when it it only mildly effective

for my normal headaches.

Does anybody have any alternative to drugs for managing serious pain, you

know, the kind that requires vicodin?

Thank you SO much in advance for you responses!

For the tip about the Vitamin A. :-)

Hi Roxanne,

My daughter recently had her wisdom teeth out -she is very tough and had the

same thing happen to her.

One thing that helped was to pack the area with clove oil soaked gauze... really

deep and strongly packed. My daughter did this herself and had huge pain relief

-better than the pain meds.

however, she eventually had to go back to the dentist and have it repacked -they

can use their instruments to get the packing VERY tight in there.. and she

FINALLY had relief... she was suffering horribly with the worst pain she's ever

had she said.

IF it isn't packed well, what can happen is tiny bits of food or other things

can get deep into those crevices where they pulled the teeth out and cause

really bad infections (as well as pain)...

also, be sure you are washing your mouth out REALLY well... if you have a

syringe or some type of something that can squirt the area with water to get any

food or stuff out of the creivces, that will help prevent infection.

so, I would HIGHLY recommend 1. washing your mouth well 2. get clove oil and

tightly pack the area yourself 3. go to the dentist and have them wash it out

and repack it TIGHTLY.

don't risk infection!

I hope this helps!

Blessings! -Ellie www.GotFlax.com
