It's more potent, and lasts longer than anything else I've ever used. I just stir a heaping spoonful into a glass of water, and chug it down. Careful, though, it'll stain anything it touches.

> Nerves are well known for a phenomenon known as referral. Pain sensations are felt in regions that are not producing the pain. The pain you thought to be from your tooth could have been entirely caused by sinus pressure, or it may have been due to an infected tooth root. I'll see if I can figure out why you may have felt better after penicillin. You are intriguing, ya know?<grin>
Looked back at notes, it was actually about 15 days of Augmentin(Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium)..as it had moved to my chest..but 'm pretty sure it's the penicillin in it. I usually just have penicillin antibiotics..just not for that long. I suspected perhaps long term antibiotic therapy may help with the hashi stuff...but it surprised me that the tooth/jaw pain completely disappeared too for a while.

> Clove oil contains one of the most potent COX inhibitors known to man (eugenol). That's why it works for tooth pain. Be careful with it. It is so potent that it can cause necrosis (tissue death).Thanks Lar, I didn't know any of that
Just went "normal" to the EEG..wonderful to have your replyhugs, Jan
