9. Thyme
Thyme may be the spice that makes your food scrumptious, but it also has potent medicinal properties. Thymol, its active compound, has both anti-fungal and antiseptic properties. This makes it an effective weapon against most dental infections and one of the greatest toothache remedies.
There are two main ways of using thyme to relieve toothache. First, you can add a drop of thyme essential oil to a glass of water and use it as a mouthwash. Alternatively, you can sprinkle a couple of drops of the oil on a cotton ball and press it against the aching tooth.
10. Toothache Plant
This aptly-named plant is one of the most effective natural remedies for toothache. The plant is native to tropical and sub-tropical regions. Its active compound, Spilanthol, has effective anti-inflammatory effects that provide a numbing sensation.
All you have to do is chew on the plant to benefit from its healing powers. However, it is not advisable to use the plant if you:
- Are pregnant
- Consume alcohol
- Use diuretics
- Are allergic to plants in the daisy family
