This is a simple mixture of four herbs that has a beneficial effect on the area of the teeth and gums, both for acute problems (sudden toothache, conditions after tooth extraction or dental treatment) and for chronic ones such as periodontitis (so-called "abscesses" at the root of the tooth) or periodontal disease (inflammatory disease of the gums and the surrounding apparatus on which the teeth are suspended, which can end in tooth loss).
The most important herb in the mixture is Asarum, which relieves toothache and also supports the healing of mucous membranes not only in the gum area but in the entire oral cavity. Dahurian Angelica assists it very well in this – it reduces swelling of the affected tissues and acts on the so-called "fire toxin", i.e., it helps to reduce suppuration, or prevents its formation preventively, and also helps to relieve toothache. The spice well-known to us – clove (which is actually the flower bud of the clove tree) – also acts to relieve pain. In addition, clove also very effectively alleviates an unpleasant taste in the mouth or helps to remove an unpleasant odour if there is a purulent focus. Panax notoginseng further relieves pain, aids healing, and also stops bleeding in the case of bleeding conditions. We can see that even though the mixture is simple, it is very complex and effective – as is usual with Chinese herbal mixtures.
In traditional preparation, the ingredients were mixed in a container with 50 cl of heated alcohol for several minutes, the alcohol was drained from the herbs and used to rinse the gums and mouth, then spat out, not swallowed. The procedure was repeated until all the alcohol was used up. Alternatively, a decoction was made from the herbs, again for rinsing. Today, the ready-made tincture is used to dab the painful area, or it is dripped onto a moistened cotton swab, which is applied locally for several minutes. Repeat after approx. 15–30 min until the pain subsides.
