WOW! Comments By: Corey So after seeing a few youtube videos on using clove oil for a toothache and reading alot of message boards I ventured out to a local natural food store to find some clove oil. I found "essential" clove oils that was supposed to be used in making of potpourris, the guy at the store said people do use this but it is not meant for internal use and taste real bad, he recommended I use Clove Hearbal supplement, it is a clove oil as well, well I purchased it and some cotton swabs, got back to work and applied a few drops on a cotton swab and put it on the tooth and the area that was in pain and INSTANTLY the pain was gone, it has been about 10 minutes and still, no pain.... WOW this really does work!!! 100 times better than orajel!!!   The Active Ingredient Comments By: PCou The active ingredient in oil of cloves is the oil itself -- it's called eugenol. Eugenol is a natural antibacterial and pain killer, numbing nerves so that they stop sending pain signals to the brain. It's not magic, and it's not new... it's been used for centuries. It doesn't taste great, but it works wonders.   where can i get some now !!!!!! Comments By: andy c I have the mother of all toothaches and this is my last resort. Where can I get this legendary panacea?
