Goldenseal and Cayenne for Home Remedies for Gum Disease
Henrietta (Usa) on 01/24/2015:
I use the cayenne pepper and goldenseal mixed together, the inflammation I was feeling is gone, but on my upper right side behind the wisdom teeth I still have a bump there and it got smaller with oil pulling, but the oil pulling loosened my fillings and I had to stop. I will continue to use the cayenne and goldenseal even it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Someone suggested coconut oil after brushing. I am going to try that now.
But I need to get rid of this abcess, any ideas? View Entire Thread

I have always had pretty healthy teeth, so I was shocked one night when I was brushing and had a spot at the toothline start to bleed a good bit. It hurt there when I flossed, too. I mixed goldenseal powder and cayenne together and brushed my teeth with it a couple of times that day. (Very spicy and tasted terrible! ) The next day the gum was back to normal! I got the idea from Lalitha Thomas' book, Ten Essential Herbs, which is a super resource.
