DrugBuyers.Com: Clove Oil and Naturopathic Hybreeds

After reading about Stella Blue's long and traumatic weekend when she was denied what I presume was a hydro script because she had an active darvocet script and left to writhe in pain and anger over the weekend, there were a lot of responses. In order of frequency, I estimate the replies dealt with a) a mistunderstanding of what constitutes legal dissemination of medical info between a pharmacist and doctor, b) "This has happened to me so many times, I pray for you," c) Multiple and sundry recommendations of OTC Western remedies for the pain, and d) varying interesting sub-thread of how to get back at Stella Blue's pharmacist.

While we keep Ambesol in the house, it's locked away in the musty old pessary filled with bandaids and basic first aid sitff ( including an astounding collection of bowel-disorder remedies for couple in their 20's). The medicine we keep out for dental pain is clove oil. It is a very effective anesthetic for oral pain, consdierably stonger and longer lasting than ambesol. I've used very small amounts of it mixed in with other anesthetic/ antibiotic. soothing oils ina a vitamin E bases to treat broken skin outside the mouth and lips with remarkable results. However, pure clove oil, applied by a partner if possible ( so that they can see the diseased area)) should provide anesthesia lasting a few hours and there is reallt no limit to the dosage intervals, since it's a food product. The taste is unliekly to make you gag. Of course, if you are allergic to cloves, you shouldn't take this route.

The only other topical anesthetic essentail oil I know of is eucalyptus. It is not nearly as strong as clove, and more freuquently employed as a mix in massage oils. However, with analgesic and antiseptic qualities, it's worth a shot. By which, of course, I mean a drop. If you a buying your oils from stores that specialize in this stuff, you'll be getting the purest oils the US will permit. So this is strong stuff.

Do not ever use clove oil on any other muscous membrane than the mouth, nor on open wounds. Caveat to use on open wounds: if you've made a dilution a 1:6 dilution ( like 1 part each of relaxing and soothing patchouli, rosemary, and lavendar, plus 1 part each of antiseptic and anesthetic teatree, eucalyptus, and clove, in a base of vitamin E qual in quanitity to the six drops you've collected).

Pure love oil on dental disease requiring surgery can be kept at a reasonably low-key scream and moan until the vikes comes through usuing clove oil.

I'm going to admit "western medicine into this discussion." The poster in the ubiquitous "Pharmacy Tattle Tales" stated that packing the wound with crushed ACA would prove emissise-inducing. I'm wondering whether the same ACA, spiked with CLove oil, could be successfully shoved into the infected spots without inducing projectile vomiting. You see, while I am pretty good with the naturopathy I know, these oils are expensive purchase and maintain. High quality oils in bulk ( lage ongouh to be used for multiple purposes) are harder to find that the baby-oil watered-down versions.Willowback extract is nigh-impossible to find nowadays. We don't shun "Western" medicine and our personal OTC collection contains only a range of modern NSAIDS- from IB on.

I would love to get a discussion going on plants and oils, how they can help alone, incombo with other "naturals," and assist our friends who are dependant what's become the New Traditional Medicine in helping them find their two scoops of sugar.

DISCLAIMER We all know how St John's Wort saved/ destroyed your life. Herbs as psychoactives is a BIG thread and merits it's very own discussion. As I mentioned at the beginning, I'm hoping this can be discussion of herbs and oils that can be used to compliment Western medicine, or, as is so often the case, take the place of it while we wait for the bumbling medical bureacracy to dispense our meager prescriptions.

We've all grown to be self-sufficent people in taking acre of our health acre. I'd just like to share stories with others about the herbs and oils they've used and the results. And if yo u think you don't fit, remember the one think that brings us all together: all of our laxatives contain Senna as an active ingredient.
