Natural Remedies for Root Canals

You will find natural remedies for root canals in this article. Root canals are a popular dental treatment for decaying of roots of the teeth. There may also be decay or problems with surrounding tissue and bone. The other option given is to pull the tooth. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and even muscle or joint arthritis, heart damage, and possible stomach problems.

Naturally, the best way to avoid root canals is prevention by improving lifestyle and diet. Where the porous pulp of the tooth can harbor bacteria and infection, there is hope to help this without drugs or dental procedures.

Natural Healing Protocol — First, choose an herb. Then add a cell salt or cell salt solution. Finally, choose the homeopathic remedy that fits your situation best. Combining supplements will do more to support your body’s ability to function properly than using just one. Your ability to heal will depend on the severity and length of time symptoms have been present.
