Problems with our teeth and gums start as ....
infants really. Even though as adults we do not remember the horrifying pain which caused us to cry and scream while teething, a lot of moms are unable to at first figure out what is causing us to wail in such a manner we really want to pull our hair out.
For an infant, who after all knows nothing lol) they do not understand and have no other way to communicate to us their displeasure except by screaming, crying or wailing until mom or dad does something to ease the discomfort.
At as early an age as 3 months, the swelling gums of a new tooth emerging cause tremendous pain. How fast we deal with the situation will make our lives a lot easier, and our baby a lot happier. Teething pain can cause other challenges such as diarrhea, nausea, headaches...rashes, runny noses....have been associated with teething pain.....do you think adults are the only ones who suffer from these things???
In our adult life, challenges with our mouth and teeth are able to cause the following disorders in our bodies such as again, inflammation of the gums, headaches, migraines, severe pain in the mouth or tooth area......pain so severe we are unable to think.....
Of course, if it gets to that point, a trip to the dentist is definitely in order, because you may need either a root canal or if the problem has progressed far enough, an extraction......oh my.....this is why a lot of people do not like the trip to the dentist. But there is a way to help and in some cases prevent.....most assuredly heal as well as lessen the pain....
Fist case scenario is preventative action....
But, if a challenge does occur, here are some measures you are able to take to help; and most are found in your home, or solved with a quick trip to the natural food store in your area.
Nature has many remedies for all ills and......
naturally speaking, if there is pain, there is a really big problem.
In children teething, here is an effective way to help the pain.....the use of the essential oils is key in these remedies: for use in teething, they are a little different, than say with another challenge with the teeth and gums.
Two natural treatments fo teething...
A). Using one of these three oils in this dosage Chamomile Roman: 6 drops, Chamomile German 6 drops or Yarrow, 6 drops. These may be combined or used singly; if two oils are used, it is 6 drops, if used singly, 2 drops....
Dilute in 5 tbsp. of vegetable oil and mix well, then take 1 tablespoon oil mix and put it in an egg cup, fill will very cold water, and stir well. Take a q-tip or cotton ball and wipe gently around the baby’s gums After doing this, use the plain oil/herb mixture in this manner. Put a drop or two on your finger and massage the outside of the childs face with your fingertip with the oil on it. Store the remaining mixture in the frig for future use.
A property of chamomile, is that it is an anti-inflammatory agent and one of it’s components is azulene. Aloevera liquid also may be used as an alternative to the water/oil method above.
This will help your child in a natural manner instead of using a chemical alternative. Again, most people run for the baby oragel, but try this once instead. There are no chemical additives.
B). Lavender may also be used for teething.....Put 5 drops of lavender oil into 1 tbsp. of vegetable oil. Mixing well, and using only about 2 drops of the solution, massage around the baby’s jaw area and up the neck area.
Using the above methods may help save your sanity at some point, because not only is teething hard on the child who is experiencing it, but on us moms?? Well you all know what I am speaking of here....
