Quick relief for toothache
When I suddenly got a strong toothache the other day, I remembered a show about herbs, in which u. a. sage and its analgesic effect on toothache has been reported.
It was said that you should place a sage leaf on the aching tooth, then clench your teeth tightly and grind something with your teeth to release the ingredients. Then you should leave the sage leaf between your teeth for at least an hour so that should eliminate the pain.
Although I doubted that, but in times of need I have tried it - and what can I say, it actually helped! After an hour, the pain was almost gone, and after another half hour they were actually gone. The effect lasted one night and one full day, but the next evening the tooth started to ache a little, and I repeated it again. This time, the pain was completely gone after one ¾ hour and disappeared forever! I would never have thought that possible!
sage has a strong but slightly astringent aroma and is often used as a panacea because of its versatile healing properties? designated. Since sage contains essential oil and has a disinfecting effect, sage tea helps very well against inflammation of all kinds in the mouth and throat (such as throat and laryngeal inflammations), but it can also be used for hoarseness, cough and other colds , Add 2 tablespoons of fresh or dried sage leaves, pour over ½ liter of hot water and simmer for 10 minutes. With this tea you should gargle every hour for about 2 minutes, at least four or five times a day.
In addition, sage also contains various tannins and bitter substances that are said to stimulate the metabolism and fat burning. Sage should also prevent excessive sweating and help with stress.
Furthermore, sage can also be used as a soup spice or for meat, fish, pasta or vegetable dishes. But you should not combine it with other herbs because of its strong taste.
