5 out of 5 stars

Having burned my mouth I then managed to get an infection all across the top right and bottom left of my gums to the point I couldn't eat and had radiating neck and shoulder pain. I tried iodine, salt, garlic, charcoal, cider vinegar and colloidal silver with no effect other than intense pain. Then I tried bee propolis tincture swished around so that it covered the teeth and gums and instantly that pain ebbed. Within a few hours I was able to use garlic infused water and salt washes without the off the scale pain.

Some hours more & it looked like I had healing burns along the gum line for want of a better description, as if the poisons had been drawn to the surface. I took high doses of lyposomal vitamin C (5grams per day) at the same time and continued the bee propolis and salt/garlic every few hours. Two days later and it was all but gone and oddly had off the scale energy.

Have commenced taking Bee propolis for receding gums but have only been able to purchase it in capsule form, but would rather apply tincture topically. Could someone advise where to purchase in tincture form. Thanks, Rob

Propolis Tincture can be found at Chemist Warehouse stores and at their on line site. I have bought it in store and on the bottle it states : Propolis Liquid Extract 25ml contains Propolis 300mg/ml. I have used it for receeding gums but found Oregano oil much better for me with noticable results compared to the Propolis.

A word of warning about the Propolis, it is very sticky and brown and leaves a brown stain on you teeth if used overnight, but can be cleaned off with a good toothpaste, I use equal parts of Coconut oil and Bi Carbonate soda made into a paste, and last week the dentist wanted to know why I had no tartar build up on my teeth, as I drink black coffee and black tea all day I told him it was home made toothpaste and he said keep using it as it works.

I personally have found the Oregano oil much better to use and have seen my gums repair much quicker with the Oregano oil than the Propolis in my opinion.

Apply a few drops of the oregano oil added to a wet tooth brush. Dry brush it all around your teeth and gums, let it work for up to two minutes or tolerance.

How did you use the oregano oil? Just applied on the gums. If so how many times.

IMPORTANT info for everyone: Oregano Oil (or Oil of Oregano), especially the liquid concentrate, is VERY strong-tasting, and when too much is used in the mouth, it will create a burning sensation especially if put directly in your mouth/under your tongue/on your gums, which I would never recommend. I personally use the liquid concentrate from WF and put NO MORE THAN 2 TINY DROPS on my toothbrush using the included dropper. Then I squeeze my toothpaste on the brush & run a bit of water over it immediately prior to brushing my teeth. I do this @2-3 times per week. But again, the application frequency is up to you. And, if you're a first-time user of oregano oil, start with just the tiniest amount, and build up to what you can tolerate.

The product I use is called Fortified Defence and is a mix of Olive Leaf Extract and Wild Oregano it contains Olea Eveopea 389.8mg/g ( Olive Leaf ) and Origanum Vulgare 12mg/g ( Oregano ) and I put 4 drops on my front gum line and a small sip of water and swill it around for a few minutes and spit it out, I dont swallow the mix, and then go to bed so its on all night. I do this at night after brushing my teeth and it has really helped and it took about 2 weeks to see a difference, its a slow process but you can see it working as my gums were pretty bad on the bottom and they are now a lot better.

Thanks. I bought oil of wild oregano and olive leaf extract. It does not contain peppermint oil. Can I add the oil and use it?

Hi Liz! Thanks for responding! I'm actually from Victoria myself (Monbulk) but now live in the US with my American husband!! Small world. Thank you so much for the details. I found something online that looks like what you described....was it by "Solutions 4 Health"? with peppermint? Hopefully I can buy it from Australia! Thanks for the timeline that worked for you...are your gums still getting better? Did they recede to below the enamel or tooth 'bump'? I've had mild receding gums for years but they seem to be getting slowly worse not better. Hence my attempts at trying everything that has worked for someone! I'm looking forward to trying it!

Hi Serena, The product I use is the Solutions 4 Health with peppermint, it is the one you found online, I bought mine in a health food shop on recommendations from the owner of the shop and its also good for viruses and was told to put 4 drops under tongue for a few minutes then swallow the drops to help with cold, flu and other viruses. My gums were below the enamel line but not down to the bottom of the tooth where it is joined the bottom jaw, and yes they are getting better but it is a slow process. I started using this product after trying propolis liquid as the propolis reacted with me and my lips started to swell though I am not allergic to bees, hope this helps you.

Can you please tell the name of the product. I googled, it says, the name of the company is Solution for Health.

Replied By Serena (Az, Us) on 03/30/2018

Thanks Liz. I found it at Zen Organic Health online (just in case anyone else is interested in searching for it). They ship worldwide. I just have to find out how much it is to the US. Are your gums still improving? I am so grateful for all your help!

Thank you so much for the info. I tried ordering from Zen organics but shipping was coming to $193/- which was exhobitant. Where has Solution4health is costing $25/- to USA

Replied By Liz (Victoria, Australia) on 04/03/2018

Hi Serena. I am glad I could help you, and yes my gums on the bottom front are still improving, it takes a while to see an improvement, but now that I can see they have improved I will keep going till hopefully they are back to normal.

Hi Liz! I had a bit of a break in emails with the place I'm going to buy it from. Seeing as shipping is $30 to the US (which if it works it's still worth it for sure) I'm wondering if you have gone through a whole bottle yet or whether I'd likely require 2 bottles (which would save shipping money over buying it again) to see effects. Thoughts?

Hi Serena,

I would only buy 1 bottle as I only use a drop or two most nights and the bottle seems to last a long time and I am not even half way through it yet and have been using it for 6 months or more, you can also use it for coughs and colds by putting about 4 drops under your tongue every few hours and it really does help with the virus as I used it last winter and am still using the same bottle, so it does go a long way, also my gums now seem to be at a stand still and not improving as much, so I will take a break for a month, as I think with natural products your body just gets used to them and a break from them will help the body re adjust and when you go back to using these things they work better than before, hopefully my gums will start regrowing again when I start on the drops again, I will keep in touch.
