Q: Do you know of any cures for a tooth abscess as an alternative to root canal or extraction?
Thanks, S.
A: Hello again S., here is some of what I found on our websites:
http://www.susunweed.com/Weed_letter_July02.htm#plantain
Plantain is "Excellent for all skin ailments, wounds, sores, ulcers, skin rashes, eczema, erysipelas, boils, abscesses, scalds and burns, the crushed leaves being applied direct. For application to piles, aching teeth, inflamed eyes (using the root or leaves). Plantain is also used very successfully as a poultice herb."

Marshmallow "leaves help in cystitis, urethritis and urinary gravel as well as bronchitis, respiratory catarrh, irritating coughs. Externally the herb is often used in drawing ointments for abscesses and boils or as an emollient for varicose veins and ulcers.
Marsh-mallow helps soothe and cure inflammation, ulceration of the stomach, soreness of throat, and pain from cystitis. An infusion of leaves or flowers serves as a soothing gargle, an infusion of the root can be used for cough, diarrhea and insomnia. By pulverizing the root it then can be used as a healing and drawing poultice, which should be applied warm."
You are always welcome to post at the forum this question... some may know options, if there are any. And you can now call Susun if you would like during her free Tuesday night phone consultations, from 7:30pm-9:30pm Eastern time, 845-246-8081. I wish I could offer you more. I do hope some of these resources help!
