TMJ problem
from zackey on 02/23/2015 07:03 PMMy TMJ is in high gear. My right cheek is swollen. I went to the dentist last week and he couln't find anything wrong with my teeth. He gave me some meds, but they haven't helped. Any home remedies or any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you ever tried a caster oil pack? Caster oil is pretty amazing stuff!
We've used it for inflammed joints. Very safe treatment. Here are a coulpe links

from Backwoodswife on 02/24/2015 04:12 AMI would lay the caster oil cloth on your face/jaw area, place a piece of plastic wrap over it and put the water bottle on top. (The plastic is more to prevent staining from the caster oil) I know probably easier said than done :) but laying on your side, I think it should work. Hope this helps! Have a good night!
