Healthy Teeth, Healthy Body - Part 3
Why sour teeth are related to our stomach
An unexplained sour taste in our mouth can erode our tooth enamel, say researchers at the Howard University College of Dentistry, Washington, D.C. The cause of the condition, often symptomised by heartburn, cannot be cured by a dentist but needs to be seen to by a physician. This is because the culprit in almost all cases is gastroesophageal reflux-disease (GERD), a relatively common condition in which stomach acid is refluxed up into the oral cavity, resulting in enamel erosion.
How a needle can pinpoint ill organs Practitioners at the Maxillofacial Clinic in Vienna, Austria, say that jaw-related problems can be detected and even healed through ear acupuncture. The reason? The auricle’s surface is a reflex zone which mirrors all of our body’s organs. Practitioners of natural medicine can therefore not only detect ill teeth, but sometimes even detect the related ill organs and attempt to heal them – all by using acupuncture needles.
Homoeopathy can replace the dentist Homoeopathic remedies can strengthen teeth and gums to such an extent that they are less susceptible to inflammation and decay. The three most important remedies: Belladonna (for sudden toothache), Aconitum (for sensitive teeth) and Arnica (for rapid healing after extractions or surgery). All remedies need to be taken hourly (five globules of the potency D6).
How natural practitioners can heal our gums The use of a sage tincture can aid healing after periodontal treatment. The herb’s etheric oils calm the irritated gums and have anti-inflammatory properties. Sage also has an antiseptic and astringent effect and restores the normal oral flora. It makes the tiny blood vessels contract and thereby reduces or stops bleeding gums.
Why neural therapy is beneficial to teeth As few as two neural therapy sessions can improve and heal chronic inflammation of the gums. German and Swiss scientists have discovered that local anaesthetics increase blood circulation, acts as an anti-inflammatory and eases pain. Even destroyed gum tissue can be healed through neural therapy: Via the vegetative nervous system it triggers the release of immune supporting transmitters which strengthen the gum tissue and can protect it from further infection.
