Hi Dan,
I read your plight in the goanet newsletter and thought of suggesting
some home remedies which might help you reduce your pain.
Below are some home remedies you can try alternatively after an interval
of two hours.
Honey: Keep 2 tsp of honey in your mouth for ten minutes and spit it.
While the honey is in the mouth, if the saliva which is formed has
filled your mouth such that you can't hold it you may spit it. Repeat
this process again after two hours. If you have diabities, you can't try
this remedy. Try not to swallow it, but if some liquid goes in stomach
don't worry.
Fresh Corainder juice & Coconut milk: Fill your mouth with the fresh
coriander juice & coconut milk. When the saliva forms and fills your
mouth such that you can't hold it, you may spit it. Repeat this process
again after two hours. Try not to swallow it, but if some liquid goes in
stomach don't worry.
Tender Coconut Water: Same procedure as mentioned above.
Home made butter 'Loni' or home made 'ghee': Same procedure as mentioned
above.
If you are fedup with any one remedy try the other after an interval of
two hours, so that you will come to know which remedy suits better for
your pain.
Drink as much cold (not chilled) water as you can, & while drinking
water keep some in the mouth, chew for a while spit it and drink the
rest of water. Also soak a cloth in cold water and keep it on your
forehead so that with exessive pain you won't feel a headache.
Avoid all oily, spicy & salty food till you feel completely ok,
afterwhich you can again 'blast'. Also, do not stretch you (if you do
enjoy) drinking hours !!!
You can try all the above home remedies with the medicine prescribed by
your doctor.
And yes, next time if you feel like eating a paan after a heavy meal,
don't worry or get scared. See, that the 'chuna' is not applied in
excess !!! Welcome to the world of 'home remedies' & 'ayurveda' !!!
Regards,
Anjali Mohan Rao
