Green Tea
Green tea has been used in Chinese herbal medicine for thousands of years as a toothache tea remedy. Green tea is an outstanding toothache natural remedy due to the highly antiseptic qualities of green tea, which can prevent cavities, help reduce the build-up of tartar and plaque, and reduce gum inflammation (gingivitis).
Green tea is very safe with no real side effects. But it’s best to use decaffeinated green tea for your toothache tea if you have any kind of anxiety issues or heart problems. Keep in mind that you should use unsweetened green toothache tea as if you add sugar, you are feeding bacteria around the affected area and thus cancelling out the wonderful healing qualities of the toothache tea.
Another way to use green tea is to make a toothache tea tincture out of approximately 4 ounces of green tea leaves. Put a dropperful of green tea tincture into a glass of water and swish around your mouth for a minute or so.
