Clobetasol: this is the primary steroid ointment that the doctor gives to "solve" your problem. Hasn't solved anything however, many articles point to the fact that among women who use it routinely, there are no cancers- a huge positive.
Castor Oil- Neither mixed with coconut oil nor with lavender or lemongrass oil added has castor oil done any good to relieve pain or reduce whitening.
Olive oil: soothes skin but be sure you get extra virgin first cold-pressed.
Coconut oil with baking soda: making a paste with a half a teaspoon of oil anda few grains of baking soda and applying to the skin did nothing.
Plain coconut oil or with 1 drop of lavender oil did soothe the skin a little bit
Apple cider vinegar whether applied diluted or full strength to the skin had no effect. Taking it internally also had no effect.
Andrographis: For 3 months I took 1 capsule (500 mg I think) of Andrographis, a bitter plant with lots of science behind it, to reduce inflammation. I think it helped a bit. Get it at health food stores. Not too expensive.
Curcumin: For about 6 weeks I took 3 tablets of Terry Naturally curcumin pain relief formula but it did not help and was expensive.
Ibuprofen: Not natural but 2 tablets of generic ibuprofen (400 mg) do help with the pain but who wants to stay on that all the time.....
Aquaphor: no help
Perrins cream: No help
ScleroDiscreet: this is a thymus peptide preparation which is expensive ($60) and did not help.
Tri-Derma: an inexpensive colloidal cream that served as an emollient but nothing more.
Vitamin A & D ointment: This helped soothe the skin and is cheap. Can be bought at any drug store and most grocery stores.
Diet: stayed off of wheat, sugar, and dairy and nothing changed. This is very hard to do anyway. One potential troublemaker is said to be nightshade vegetables (tomato, eggplant etc...) or high oxalate foods like spinach but I have not noticed any effects of eating those foods. Eliminated alcohol but what little I drink made no difference.
Stress: an absolute factor in bringing on more pain. STAY CALM no matter what.
Have no bathtub, only shower, so have no experience with sitz baths or soaking. May have to get a tub.
EmuAid: This is a cross between a cream and an ointment said to be for minor skin irritations. It has arnica, silver, and emu oil (yes, I guess real emus, heck I don't know) and it has been the BEST thing I have found.... It was roughly $30 for a tiny jar but it doesn't take much.
DMSO: I have been reading about the "wonders" of this solvent type liquid but so far have not been brave enough to try it.
Anybody else out there with a new experience to share? Let's not give up ladies!

She drank a strong infusion daily for a month. This month she did not have cramps at all!
It may be a bit of trouble to fix the infusion daily, but oh so worth it!
1 Tablespoon Red Raspberry Leaf
1 Tablespoon Nettle Leaf
2 cups boiling water
Pour water over tea leaves. Steep for 15 minutes to 3 hours. It is very flexible. Strain. Sweeten if desired. We add stevia to ours.
This tea is the same tea I made for my other daughter who dealt with eczema in pregnancy. It didn't eliminate it but did help a lot (the eczema resolved as soon as she had the baby.) She also had a relatively easy labor and delivery.
As an almost 60 year old woman who has had prolapse issues in the past, I find this tea helps with the prolapse. The nettle is a great blood purifier and helps with allergies.

There is a supplement containing both red quebracho (not white, which is for lung issues) and horse chestnut extracts that have been shown in many studies to be very helpful for bloating and for motility issues. It lowers methane in the body. (Methane slows peristalsis, and increases bloating, constipation, obesity and other intestinal issues.) Although the name cannot be mentioned here, it is worth investigating. In the health food store, as well as online, it got unusually good reviews.

It might also be useful to let xylitol mints dissolve in your mouth regularly as it will starve detrimental bacteria above and below the gumline for extended periods of time, which can be additive/complementary to the other great suggestions you have gotten to help control detrimental bacteria in the area of the extraction. If the candy also has peppermint, that will add to the effects of the xylitol. The xylitol also has antibiofilm effects which will also be useful in keeping bacteria from getting a foothold.
Please come back and let us know how you do during this healing process!

I had the same procedure with PRP and have MTHFR and gut issues. Antibiotics also no longer work for me. When I had the procedure done, I did nothing and yes, then had an infection. Because it was a week after, I used turpentine and dropped it on the tooth 4 times a day for at least 4 - 6 days until it was healed. I was in a lot of pain, and it was very red and running blood. So I was sure it was infected. I don't even know if the sutures were there, I just did it because it was so bad and I knew turpentine would work.
If I have another implant, I will take something for sure. The easy thing to do is take colloidal silver. I would take 4 tablespoons a day. Since I can't take that anymore, I would take oregano oil and black seed oil. You can take 4 caps a day of your mixture for 3 days, the 3 caps for 4 days. You can also take Black seed oil a couple of times a day, but watch for upset stomach or GERD symptoms. If you aren't better you can continue maybe with something like Gaia herbs (oregano and black seed oils) which are emulsified and easier on the stomach. I wouldn't use garlic on the area as it burns, just take it internally, but with all the oils, it might bother your stomach.
After the initial 5 days, you could do turpentine, a tsp on the area 4-6 times a day. Black tea bags or tumeric tea bags (watch tumeric as it can be hot, but works so well) help to heal and lessen pain after the sutures are gone.

Hello,
Yesterday, after a tooth extraction, my dentist (who does use biologic methods) said that if I don't use antibiotics my body could reject the bone graft (there was some bone loss), and she was concerned about reinfection. But I have antibiotic resistance and MTHFR and can't risk effecting my microbiome and liver.
The bone graft, mixed with PRP, is covered by a delicate membrane w/suture and I need to be very careful for five days.
In the past, turmeric caps and black cumin seed oil didn't do anything for pain. (Maybe the dose wasn't high enough, or it could be due to absorption issues).
Since I haven't found any clean enough supplements, or wasn't sure it could be applied to my specific needs, I was thinking I could make my own remedy with any of the following; garlic and/or essential oils -- oregano, clove, lemon, frankincense, peppermint, lavender, but I need to know how many drops (in a cap with coconut oil) and how often. How would I use garlic in the upper jaw post-surgery without disturbing the graft/membrane? I'm not even supposed to swish the salt water, just turn my head side to side.
I appreciate your attention to detail in helping me find the best remedy.

Pain in the body is regulated by a complex system involving the nervous system, which includes nociceptors that detect harmful stimuli and send signals to the brain.
Histamine intolerance may contribute to fibromyalgia symptoms
Fibromyalgia is associated with an overactive immune response, which may contribute to its symptoms, including increased pain sensitivity and inflammation.
A lot of What I posted about AGS applies. This should help with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
