Bid Farewell to Toothache with Traditional Chinese Medicine! Enthusiastic Netizen: (Xuanyue 1240314057) Hello, Teacher Hu, I would like to share a remedy for toothache and gum inflammation. I suffered from toothache, swollen gums, and gum recession caused by excessive liver fire for about a year. Despite long-term treatment by a dentist, there was no improvement. A friend then recommended a folk remedy, which cured my long-standing dental issues in just seven days. It has been four years now, and the problem has not recurred. The prescription is as follows: seven dried red dates, three slices of fresh ginger, a handful of fresh cogongrass roots (with the tips removed), and 15 grams of Artemisia capillaris (available at pharmacies). This is one dose to be decocted in water and consumed daily. The next morning, boil the same ingredients again for a second dose. I have personally tried this remedy and can vouch for its effectiveness. I have shared it with people around me, and the results have been consistently positive. While dried ingredients are available at pharmacies, fresh ones yield better results. Fresh cogongrass roots. Contributor: Teacher Fan Zhixia.
