Relief

In April of 2010 I had surgery to have two impacted wisdom teeth removed. It was one of the most excruciating pains (the removal) that I have ever experience. I developed dry socket...making even inhaling difficult.

Drinking water was a drag. Anything sweet...forget it. To say the least I took 2 weeks off of work because my entire body felt the pain of my gums. I was on drugs that were not able to deal with the pain directly. All the drugs did were make me drowsy and feel weak. It was terrible.

Then someone came along and told me to boil cloves and mix it with black tea. She said not to drink it, but to just let it sit in my mouth. I had tried everything and nothing seemed to bring relief. So, then I decided what can I lose by trying this home remedy.

I boiled the cloves, put them in black tea, and followed the instructions...and instantly I felt the most unbelievable alleviation of total pain. It was as if I never had surgery. I no longer needed the pills that were not helping. 

Today, in my prayers for those who are experiencing pain, I pray that Jesus would be to them as the cloves were to my gums.
