Date: September 20, 2006 10:51AM Oohg - I am getting a tooth extracted Friday - it's a healthy tooth, but they want it out for orthodonture - I am really dreading the pain and anxious. Anybody know of a topical anaesthetic that can be used in the mouth to nmb the area? I did a test yesterday with cayenne pepper, but it irritated more than it really numbed. I've heard echinacea and clove oil might help. Something I'm missing? Not the easiest thing to do a websearch on. (By the way, do you guys know about goodsearch.com? Every time you use it to websearch, you can give money [a penny] to charity - farm sanctuaries, no-kill shelters, veg societies. It's not the best search engine for something really tricky or serious, but for many casual things it's fine. And the pennies add up...) Re: Raw/natural anaesthetic?

Date: September 21, 2006 04:20AM All the herbs/spices you mentioned afaIk are used as antibacterials. The only one I know of that is not dangerous is cherries. I heard that a chemical in cherries behaves like Aspirin. However it takes about 10 cherries to equal to one aspiring if memory serves correctly.
Hope this helps. Re: Raw/natural anaesthetic?

I have heard that the stuff in between catail rushes that looks like aloe vera is an anesthetic of that strength. Re: Raw/natural anaesthetic?

Date: September 21, 2006 05:39PM Thank you! I thought of at least trying, with nothing to lose, to play a Pain Release subliminal tape during the process, but my experience with hypnosis and subliminal tapes (or CDs) in other contexts has been quite extravagantly dismal - evidently, I'm tremendously un-susceptible to suggestion! Weird! But I might as well try some auto-hypnosis - "This is fun, this is fun, this is a gas." Speaking of which, I wonder if nitrous oxide is raw vegan? Ha ha. Re: Raw/natural anaesthetic?
