must be at least my fourth toothache article. Homeopaths don't like
to treat, or even talk about, toothaches! Too boring I guess. No
mentals, no emotionals, nothing to sink your teeth into (did I just
say that?), but let me tell you folks, you know as well as I do
how common and DISTRESSING toothaches are! Nothing terrifies me
more than when I start getting a toothache. Look, it's not always
just a cavity! Usually it's not; it's even more likely to be something
horrifying like an abscess or roots dying or some periodontal infection,
and the thing is, the solutions offered by standard dental practice?
Not too good! What can they do other than give you an antibiotic,
which doesn't work, by the way! No, I'm sorry, they don't, I've
been there, done that; plus, they make you sick! And the price tag?
Forget it! You know what works? Homeopathy!
This doesn't mean finding the remedy is easy. I usually try three
or four remedies before I get the right one, the reason being the
lack of symptoms in most cases--lack of modalities, characteristic
sensations, etc.; but, you will be amazed that when you do find
the right remedy--it's like a miracle happened! You will have saved
yourself a horrifying trip to the dentist! I have just today had
another opportunity to experience this miracle.
It
all started last night. I was minding my own business when suddenly
I realized one of the few molars I have left, the one on the lower
left side (not a neighborhood in New York) was giving me trouble:
Pain when I touched it, and once having touched it, the pain stayed
for a long, long time! Pain in the gum when I touched it, no modalities
to heat and cold. I knew there was nothing much to repertorize.
I went with what worked in the past. Unfortunately, I had never
had an issue with the lower teeth, but with the upper teeth on the
left, Nitric acid had worked and Causticum had worked and so had
Rhus tox, so....I tried all three of those, one at a time of course,
and all three basically failed! By now a whole day had gone by and
there was no improvement and I was not happy; so, I had to go to
my ace--Pyrogen! It's only in one rubric--Teeth: abscess, teeth,
roots. It's a 3, along with Hepar, Silica, and Hecla lava. Other
than that, you won't find Pyrogen in the teeth chapter at all, so
you'll never get it by repertorizing.
I put Pyrogen 30C into a disposable cup of water and took a sip.
The first thing I noticed, and not right away, was that now I had
the same problem on the right side! Because I suspected that the
tooth on the left was improving slightly, I told myself not to panic.
"Maybe an aggravation," I thought, "just be patient
and wait." Well, now, several hours later, the right sided
aggravation is completely gone. Maybe it was a proving, I just don't
know. I always thought of Pyrogen as my right-sided toothache remedy
which was why I delayed trying it, I really didn't think it would
work.
More importantly, my bad tooth is now feeling much better! More
on this as it develops.
Day two: I didn't like the progress I was making on the
30C so today I went up to 200C. It wasn't until my second dose of
200C (I didn't think I had made much progress on the first dose)
when suddenly I felt the case turn around! I am right now symptom-free
unless I press down on the tooth real hard, and the pain doesn't
linger when I let up. So, I would say I am at least 80% better right
now. This was a bad one, folks, I held out little hope for it, really.
I was envisioning myself calling the dentist for an extraction;
that second dose of 200C this afternoon made quite a difference;
oh, and of course, as always--in a disposable cup of water with
vigorous stirring before taking a sip.
Day 3: I didn't dose again because I hardly noticed my tooth
today at all. I think there's about 10% left of the case. It's hard
to know, when there's so little left, whether to risk it all by
redosing (aggravation? antidote?) or just let it go. I'll wait until
tomorrow. You know what's amazing? Homeopathy does the work of an
antibiotic! How cool is that!?
Day 4: I felt like I was slipping backwards today, I had
awareness of my tooth, some aching sensation; so I took another
sip of Pyrogen 200C after 10 succussions and the only time I get
a sensation now is if I press on the tooth in one spot but the pain
is mild and stops when I let up.
Day 5: Didn't redose today. I don't have any impression
of my tooth, I don't notice it's there.
Day 6: Didn't redose again. Tooth doesn't bother me. I had
to press down on it very hard repeatedly to get a slight sensation
of pain.
Day 7: Didn't redose. I feel almost nothing when I press
down on the tooth now. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow--just
for a regular cleaning. We'll see if the dentist notices anything.
Day 8: My dental visit was absolutely uneventful! You know,
I haven't noticed my tooth in days! I think I can safely say, "Case
Closed!"
Do you have Pyrogen at home? I hear you can't buy it in the US
because it's a nosode! Why are the pharmacies doing this to us?
All our remedies are disgusting, why single out the nosodes? I had
a client recently with a urinary tract infection; the remedies weren't
holding so I said, "Make a remedy out of your urine."
She said, "Elaine, that's disgusting!" I said, "All
our remedies are disgusting!" Anyway, I would not want to be
without Pyrogen. The last flu I had was Pyrogen: Restlessness, tossing
and turning, couldn't get comfortable, bed felt too hard, muscle
aches, chilliness.
When you think of Pyrogen, think of:
- septic fevers
- high fevers with sore limbs
- bad breath
- offensive discharges
- blood poisoning
- flu with restlessness
- aching bruised sore pains
- food poisoning
- sweating doesn't ameliorate
- stupor / muttering
- delirium
- abscessed roots of teeth
See you at the dentist--NOT!
