1. Toothache: Plantago is an excellent remedy for toothache. Plantago is of help in all those cases where the teeth ache and are sensitive. Teeth show caries and most persons requiring Plantago have increased salivation in their mouth with toothache. Plantago also gives good results when there is a swelling of cheeks along with toothache. Hollow cavities appear in the affected teeth. The pain radiating from teeth to ears is best controlled with Plantago. At times the nerve pain in teeth can spread to eyes. In such reflex pain in eyes from teeth, Plantago plays a wonderful role in controlling pain.
Insert a cotton swab drenched with Plantago Q in to the tooth cavity.
