TMJ problem
von zackey am 23.02.2015 07:03My 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

(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!
