Cold

Just a quick little post. If you get the seemingly inevitable December cold then have a warm (not hot because the oils will evaporate too quickly) bath with 4 drops Eucalyptus and 4 drops TeaTree. As always put a little of the oils on your skin to ensure you are not allergic to them. You can also put some on a tissue and put it by your pillow,

Teeth

Sorry about the hiatus in my ramblings. I have not had the best of weeks. I am no longer going to make plans because it tempts problems. It was just a little plan - I was going to visit the local art gallery and a tooth that had been giving me problems finally exploded into tooth ache. After sitting in the waiting room for two hours, I was booked in for a root canal the following morning.

It wasn't as bad as I thought and the pain had gone. My comfort was not to last long as there are - apparently - three roots on each tooth. So one remained open to pain and it took its opportunity. Back to the hospital and another root canal. This time it really hurt, but he found the root and killed it off.

For the pain I used a little clove oil, that you can get at pharmacies and health food shops. It does numb the pain foor a while, but smells and tastes disgusting, but if you have toothache you'll try anything won't you. I once made a mixture of clove oil and some other oils and managed to make the side of my head completely numb.

So aromatherapy can help with toothache, but the bottom line is that you have to get yourself to your dentist!
