[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  04/20/2013: Golden Angel from Austin, Tx, Usa: "I have blocked Salivary glands. I use wild oregano oil to keep the infection and swelling down, and I came to this site to see what I could do to get the blockage removed in the meantime.

Wild oregano oil is a strong natural antibiotic and will kill all the nasty bacteria and whatnot in your mouth. I brush with it daily."

05/15/2011: Leela from Ventnor, Isle Of Wight, U.k: "Have a painful salivary duct stone under my jaw below my ear. Is there a natural remedy for this? I have been prescribed Calcichew and wonder if this was responsible for the stone. Help or advise urgently needed."

05/15/2011: Debbie from Melbourne, Australia replies: "Suck on a lemon and you will get quick relief.

Here is a youtube video explaining it.

05/16/2011: Leela from Ventnor, Isle Of Wight, U.k replies: "Debbie, thanks for the advice. My stone seems large and I have been drinking lemon and water every morning-for months now. I will try the lemon but the lump seems so large right now."

05/17/2009: Joyce from Joelton, Tn replies: "To Scott from Pen Argyl, Pa.

Hello Scott, the EVOO/lemon juice remedy for kidneys should work for stones anywhere in the body, but you may also want. Another thing you might want to look into is SSKI. Search window "potassium iodide" and go. When references arise look for the Tahoma Clinic and read what he has to say about dissolving parotid gland stones with SSKI. If you have a compounding pharmacist, you can probably get him to mix you a 1 or 8 ounce supply which should last you awhile. You might want to print out the Tahoma Clinic (6 pages) for future reference since it has a long shelf life and multiple uses. I am taking it myself at present to liquefy secretions after a bout of pneumonia."

08/28/2009: Kay from In The Valley, Ca replies: "My daughter suffers from Sjogren's syndrome, an auto-immune disease. One of her biggest symptons is calsification's or stones in the salivary glands. We had to insist the doctor test her for auto-immune before we could finally, after a long battle, get a diagnosis. Good luck!"

12/31/2009: Lisa from Clearwater, Fl replies: "At 36yrs old, I got a stone in my saliva gland for the first (and only time) in my life. Luckily, it passed on its own after a couple days. The only out-of-the-ordinary thing I can think of that could've caused this was the liquid calcium that I was taking. It's funny that I had just finished the bottle (took 2 Tbsp daily as directed on bottle) and about to buy some more when the stone issue happened. I'm not taking the calcium again!"

07/24/2010: M from Edmond, Ok replies: "I began doing a candida diet which requires a 7 day fasting cleanse. The detox drink I had to drink 3 times a day was bentonite clay and psyllium husks mixed with water. After 2 days on this diet I awoke with with a swollen neck. I noticed some tenderness in my neck in the shower and then realized that I had knots on each side of my neck (under my jaw). I went to the doctor and he said it was blocked salivary glands and to try sucking on a lemon drop. Alas, I can't suck on a lemon drop because of the sugar and now that I'm on day 6 of the first phase (fasting) of the candida diet I'm not about to blow it! I also think it is very strange that both of my ducts are blocked. . . . Everything I've read most people only have 1 duct that gets blocked. Does anyone know of a remedy that can be used on a candida diet?"

05/25/2012: Mike from Sacramento, Ca replies: "I have had a blocked salivary gland for about 2 years now. Awhile back the right side of my jaw balloned and the doctor told me I had an infection. I was in so much pain and my face was so swollen that three rice krispy sized stones came out of my on their own. I had immediate relief, however, there were several more! I also had a large lump under my tongue in the back of my mouth. I researched everywhere until I ran into something that has actually helped. I mix 8oz of _____ Ice Tea, 8oz of purified water, 2 TBSP of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide, 2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar and 2 TBSP of Blackstrap molasses (for flavor and unrelated illness). I used this mix daily for about six months and my salivary stones along with the unknown lump under my tongue shrunk to an almost unnoticeable size! My duct was finally able to drain on it's own. I stopped drinking the mix for awhile and while the stones haven't increased in size, they're still there. The lump under my tongue has tripled in size since I stopped! I have no doubt that if I continue to drink this mix, they will eventually go away for good.

Don't start off by using 2TBSP of 3% H2o2. Build up your own tolerance by starting by only putting a couple drops and increasing gradually. You can buy the 35% hydrogen peroxide (remember to dilute), apple cider vinegar and blackstrap molasses at your local natural food store. Hope this helps you, as it did me!"

11/16/2012: Amanda from Indianapolis, In replies: "Weirdest thing...Ive had a salivary stone for about 1 year. It would grow, it would shrink, depending on what I ate or drank, like caffine. At one point, it was so bad my face was ballooned up. Well, 2 days ago, I started to get a sore throat (non-related to stone) so I gargled with hydrogen peroxide, twice, trying to get it as far back in my throat as possible without swallowing. Did that and went on about my day hoping my sore throat would soon go away. The next morning, I swear to you, the stone is gone! The tissue in my mouth where the stone was for the past year feels very different without a lump, like loose tissue. My salavary gland has been draining ever since. Not everybody was as excited about this as me so I hope this may help someone else so they can be excited!! I told my doctor and she didnt say anything about it being a remedie so I dont know, but it's gone!! Good luck!"
