I've had superb results with STRONG echinacea tincture as an antibiotic alternati with the echinacea, get one that's pure, strong ROOT tincture (the specific :1:1 weight volume is best) without a bunch of aerial parts and such. unfortunately, a lot of companies are more inserested in selling "echinacea supreme" blends rather than letting you choose and blend youro wn medicines.


. myrrh gum,no pun, is also excellent, and yerba mansa if you can get it.

the echinacea extract: it much ike you would take penicillin..a good dropperful at least four times a day. I like to carry a dropper bottle with me and take about half a dropperful every time I feel somethig a little "off" in a tooth that's been abscessed. I keep the echinacea going for two to three days after symptoms start to subside, exactly as ou are supposed to do with penicillin o most antibiotics. I also take sustaine-release Vitamin C when I'm doing heavy echinacea; seems to keep things incding intestinal health in bettr balance.

ECO dental makes a wonderful herbal mouth rinse that really helps tooth and gum infections, but for a bad abscess you will need something that works systemically,like the echinacea tincture, as well.

my dentist, actually more than one dentist. initially thought I was being irresponsible for declining antibiotics for serious abscesses, but the results were really inpressive..from severe pain and clear swelling to no sign of infection after three days of echinacea treatment and they don;t nag me about it any more.

warm compresses to the affected area of the cheek help.
