Pēc garšas noteikti nav patīkami. Bet ne jau tāpēc kāds ņem krustnagliņas. Man nav jāstāsta par krustnagliņu labestību. Īpaši, ja runa ir par zobu sāpēm, ņemot vērā, ka krustnagliņas pret zobu sāpēm var radīt brīnumus.

Ko mēs redzēsim šajā ierakstā.

Un psst … krustnagliņas un krustnagliņu eļļa šajā ziņojumā ir izmantotas kā savstarpēji aizstājamas. Bet abi nozīmē to pašu. Vairāk vai mazāk.

Krustnagliņas - īsi

Krustnagliņas parasti izmanto kā garšvielu, un tās tiek komerciāli novāktas Indijā, Bangladešā, Indonēzijā, Pakistānā, Šrilankā un Madagaskarā. Tie ir koka aromātiskie ziedu pumpuri. Šis koks ir mūžzaļš un var izaugt no 8 līdz 12 metriem garš.

Krustnagliņas ir populārs Āzijas, Āfrikas un dažu Tuvo Austrumu virtuves papildinājums. Tos izmanto, lai piešķirtu garšu gaļai, marinādēm, karijiem un pat dažiem karstiem dzērieniem.

Ņemot vērā garšvielas saturošās bioaktīvās ķīmiskās vielas, krustnagliņu izmanto arī kā skudru atbaidīšanas līdzekli. Spice galvenokārt tiek izmantota gremošanas problēmu ārstēšanai un citu ķermeņa funkciju uzlabošanai - vissvarīgākā no tām ir zobu problēmu ārstēšanā (1).

Tas vēl nav viss - krustnagliņas ir vairāk nekā tas, ko mēs esam redzējuši līdz šim.

Ko pētījumi saka par krustnagliņu eļļu

Pētījumi norāda uz daudzām daiviņu eļļas priekšrocībām. Viens no tiem ir tā kā pretiekaisuma līdzekļa nozīme, ņemot vērā savienojuma, ko sauc par eigenolu, klātbūtni.

Krustnagliņu eļļa palīdz ārstēt arī tādas kaites kā pūtītes un candida. Krustnagliņu eļļa ir ārkārtīgi bagāta ar antioksidantiem un sniedz labumu jūsu veselībai daudzos citos veidos.

Saskaņā ar pētījumiem krustnagliņu eļļu var izmantot, lai ārstētu citas kaites, piemēram, klepu, saaukstēšanos, sinusītu un iekaisis kakls. Tas darbojas kā gremošanas līdzeklis un novērš nelabumu un vemšanu. Tas darbojas arī kā antiseptisks līdzeklis - novērš sēnīšu infekcijas un palīdz mazināt sportista pēdas (2).

Ir arī konstatēts, ka krustnagliņu eļļa palīdz priekšlaicīgai ejakulācijai (3). Lielāko daļu šo priekšrocību var attiecināt uz eigenola (par kuru mēs esam apsprieduši), acetiljevenola un kariofilēna klātbūtni.

Nu, krustnagliņas ir lieliski piemērotas šim un tam - bet, atgriežoties pie faktiskās tēmas, mēs sākam saprast tās milzīgo vērtību, palīdzot izārstēt zobu sāpes.

Kā krustnagliņu eļļa darbojas zobu sāpju gadījumā

Šeit mēs iegūstam labāku priekšstatu par eigenolu. Šai krustnagliņu eļļas sastāvdaļai piemīt dabiskas anestēzijas un antiseptiskas īpašības - tās abas palīdz mazināt iekaisumu mutē. Saskaņā ar pētījumu eigenols ir daudz efektīvāks nekā jebkurš cits pretsāpju līdzeklis, ja runa ir par mutes dobuma operācijām un zobu ekstrakciju (4). Bet paturiet prātā, ka krustnagliņu vai krustnagliņu eļļai ir nepatīkama garša un tā var izraisīt noteiktas blakusparādības - tieši tāpēc to drīkst dot tikai pieaugušie un vecāki bērni, kuri to (krustnagliņu) kļūdas dēļ nenorij.

Eugenol also helps numb the problem area – which makes it easy to conduct a surgery. Another study involved the use of homemade clove gel, 20% benzocaine, and a placebo (5). The study results showed that the clove gel achieved the same success as benzocaine (an ingredient used in ointments) – meaning the two significantly reduced the pain. That said, benzocaine can cause allergic reactions and other side effects – which is where clove emerges as a safer and better alternative (6).

Knowing how clove works for a toothache isn’t a big deal – most websites on the internet can give you that information in seconds. What matters is how you can use clove to help treat your toothache. That’s the real deal.

And that’s what we will look at now.

Ways To Use Clove Oil For Toothache Relief

There are different ways of using clove oil for tooth pain. Take a look:

1. Whole Cloves For Toothache

This is where you will be using cloves in their whole herbal form.

1. Take one to three whole pieces of this spice and place them next to the tooth that is causing pain.
2. Now, wait for a while. The clove pieces will slowly soften. Gently grind them. This releases the clove oils into your mouth. They run over the affected area and ease the inflammation and pain.
3. You can leave the clove pieces in the area for about 20 minutes.

You can also chew and eat the cloves. Otherwise, you can rinse your mouth with a warm salt solution (½ teaspoon of salt in 30 ml of water) and spit the pieces out. Don’t worry if you experience a tingling sensation lingering in your mouth. That’s common. It will subside in 10 minutes.

And here’s a recipe for you – using whole cloves for a toothache.

Cinnamon-Clove syrup

What You Need

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
• 1 tablespoon of ground or whole cloves

Directions

1. Take a small saucepan and combine all the ingredients in it.
2. Keep it uncovered.
3. Bring it to a boil, stirring the sugar all the while to dissolve it.
4. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Let it cool down. Remove the cinnamon pieces and cloves. If you had used clove powder in place of whole cloves, strain the liquid through a cheesecloth.
6. Pour the syrup into a glass container. Ensure the lid is secure.
7. Refrigerate.

You can use this syrup to add zing to your cocktails or other non-alcoholic drinks.

2. Ground Cloves For Toothache

Ground cloves work well too. Preparing them is simple. First, you can ground the cloves normally.

1. Take 1/8 teaspoon of the ground cloves and add them to a bowl. To these, add ¼ teaspoon of olive oil.
2. Stir thoroughly until it is properly mixed.
3. Dip a cotton swab into the mixture and then apply it to the inflamed area in your mouth – advisably on the painful tooth and the surrounding area.
4. Leave the cotton swab on the tooth for about 20 minutes. Spit it out and rinse your mouth with warm salt water.

If you don’t want to use a cotton swab, there is another option. Take a pinch of ground clove and apply it to the affected area in your mouth. The saliva will do its job and help your tooth.

3. Clove Oil

You can apply the oil directly to your tooth to help relieve the pain.

1. Take a cotton swab and dip one end of it into the clove oil.
2. Apply the oil directly to the painful tooth and the inflamed area surrounding it.
3. Take the swab out and let the oil rest on the affected area for about 20 minutes.
4. Rinse your mouth with a solution of salt water.

One thing to make a note of is that the nerve of the tooth might get exposed. In that case, you need to be extra cautious. And yes, this oil is not going to taste nice. It will take you a while to get used to it.

Also, try not to swallow the oil.

4. Clove Oil Compress

This has been touted as the most effective method for treating toothache. This is plain good news for anyone who detests putting clove directly into their mouth.

1. Add ½ teaspoon of olive oil to a bowl. To this, add 2 to 3 drops of clove oil. Mix thoroughly.
2. Take a cotton ball and dip it into the mixture.
3. Apply it to the painful tooth and the surrounding area.
4. Hold the ball in place by gently biting down on it.
5. This is called the compress.
6. Leave it as it is for about 20 minutes. Then, remove the ball and rinse your mouth with a warm salt solution.

5. Clove Tea

It has a spicy aroma. It has a rich flavor. And most importantly, it helps cure your toothache. Though there is no specific dose of clove tea recommended for treating toothache, you can simply steep one teaspoon of clove in 470 ml of boiling water. However, ensure you don’t intake the tea in large amounts. This is because clove might have anticoagulant effects, meaning it can thin your blood – which, in a way, is good, but not always.

If you are about to have a tooth extraction surgery, avoid clove as it might cause excessive bleeding. Yes, this is contradicting what we have discussed of eugenol numbing the problem area during surgery. This is because of the lack of sufficient information in this regard. Hence, consult your doctor.

6. Gargling With Clove Water

Take a few cloves and grind them to a fine powder. Add this powder to a glass of warm water. Gargle with water with clove powder for toothache. This process helps remove the bacteria present in the mouth (especially around the infected area) and can also act as a painkiller.

If you are wondering if you should use clove alone for your tooth problems, there is great news for you. Following is one effective combination of clove with something else that can work wonders for your toothache.

The Combination With Oil Of Cloves For Toothache

That something else is cayenne pepper.

And yes, for obvious reasons, this remedy can cause a burning sensation. But it’s worth the sacrifice.

Crush a few whole cloves and add them to a bowl. Take an equal amount of cayenne pepper powder and add it to the clove powder. Add a few drops of water to this mixture to get a thick paste.

Take a cotton ball and roll it into the mixture. This thoroughly coats the cotton ball with the mixture. Now, place the ball directly on the affected area in your mouth. This treatment might irritate the gums – so what you can do is avoid the gums and place the ball on the tooth.

All fine. But where do you buy clove oil?

Where To Buy Clove Oil For Toothache

This is not the rarest of the rare ingredient we are talking about. It is as common as cold! You can find clove oil (or cloves) in the medicinal section of your nearest supermarket. You can also find it at the pharmacy at the end of your street.

One smart way of using clove oil is to use it with a carrier oil. A carrier oil is a neutral oil that is made from vegetables or nuts – it helps dilute the stronger essential oils, like that of clove.

Also, when you are picking your clove oil, you must ensure it is the right kind. You must get the 100% pure oil. Organic is best. Anything lesser than pure will not give you the needed benefits.

You have seen how supremely great clove oil can be. But yes, you guessed it right, it has its side effects too. There are certain things (apart from its seemingly unbearable taste) you need to keep in mind before using it.

Risks, Warnings, And Side Effects Of Clove

Allergies

If you have any allergic reaction like hives, swelling of your face, tongue, or lips, or difficulty in breathing, stop consumption and visit doctor.

Muscle Pain And Fatigue

Consuming clove can cause muscle pain or weakness, also called lactic acidosis. You might also feel numb in your arms or legs. Uneven heart rate and dizziness or extreme fatigue are other side effects one must take note of.

Issues With Blood Glucose Levels

Clove oil, when taken internally, might lower blood glucose levels. Hence, individuals who are prone to low blood sugar must exercise caution before taking clove. The same applies to people who are on diabetes medications.

Toxicity

This might happen following the intake of large doses of undiluted clove oil. The side effects can include nausea, sedation, sore throat, and even seizures. In certain cases, it can cause blood disorders and kidney or liver damage.

Other Common Side Effects

A few other common side effects of topically applied clove include problems with erection, delayed ejaculation, skin rashes and itching, and sore gums (7).

Hence, take care. If the intake of clove oil upsets your stomach or causes a burning sensation, stop immediately.

You can use cloves in numerous other ways as well.

Tips For Using Cloves
