however for a lot of reasons you might find yourself in a particular

situation where you can't get into dentist right away. Please do

follow up with your dentist as soon as possible because tooth ache can

be a symtom of other diseases. Herbs for a toothache are best taken in tincture form, because

alcohol content is disinfecting and astringent, which helps with

infection and to reduce inflammation.

My herbs of choice are herbs Goldenseal, garlic, Oregon Grape and echinacea. Alterative, antibacterial, antiviral,

analgesic, digestive, tonic, antiseptic, depurative, febrifuge,

sialagogue, diaphoretic. Echinacea stimulates body's immune system against all infectious

and inflammatory conditions, counteracts pus, and stimulates digestion.

It specifically strengthens immune system against pathogenic

infection by stimulating phagocytosis, T-cell formation, and by

inhibiting hyalurinadase enzyme secreted by bacteria to effect

breakdown of cell walls and formation of pus. It is one of most

powerful and effective remedies against all kinds of bacterial and

viral infections. It should be taken frequently, every hour or two

Hemorrhoid or Piles (in layman's term) is most common problem afflicting anal canal.

It is estimated that one in four adults is affected by it. If you've experienced painless anal bleeding and itching, painful swelling or lump near anus, burning sensation or pain during or after bowel movements - then you probably have hemorrhoids or piles. However, not many people know much about disease.

Piles come about when hemorrhoidal tissues enlarge as a result of excessive straining or pressure while passing stool. These could develop from type of lifestyle and dietary habits of individual. Occupations that involve prolonged sitting (example truck drivers) or standing could develop piles. Other factors like obesity, pregnancy during childbirth, heredity or even certain habits like reading in toilet can cause hemorrhoids too.

There are basically two types of piles: internal and external. Internal hemorrhoid cause painless bleeding. Occasionally, straining can push an internal pile through anal opening, giving rise to prolapsed hemorrhoids.

External hemorrhoids are lumps outside anus. It can swell or become thrombosis causing pain and bleeding. Usually with bright red colored blood.

When it comes to treatment, we have to consider degree of hemorrhoids. And there are basically four degrees.
