Toothache Medicine: Make a toothache medicine. Explain how to make and use it.

Today I will make a herbal concoction for toothache and can be used for children. I have two ingredients in the kitchen and now I will prepare them to make a toothache medicine.

The ingredients I use are cloves and soursop leaves.

How to make it: take two cloves and 2 soursop leaves. Then boil for 10 minutes, strain into a glass and let it cool.

How to apply: dilute the concoction using clean water then take a clean cotton ball or soft cloth and dip it into the diluted concoction, apply to the area of ​​the aching tooth.

Dosage: this medicine can be used 2x1 a day for children who have toothache.

How it works:

• Cloves have been used to treat toothaches since ancient times until now. Cloves are herbal ingredients that have anti-inflammatory properties and can relieve pain quickly. When clove solution is applied to the painful area, the pain will quickly disappear or decrease.

• Soursop leaves are very good for treating toothache, this is because soursop leaves have antibacterial properties that help fight bacteria that cause toothache. Soursop leaves can also be useful as an anti-inflammatory herb.

• The combination of cloves and soursop leaves has been proven to be very effective in treating toothache. Both of these herbal ingredients are very safe for children if used in the right dosage.

Research Task: Research three herbs that are safe for children and explain their health benefits.

1. Guava leaves.

Guava leaves are very easy to find, especially in rural areas. Young guava leaves have health benefits, especially for children. One of them is as a medicine to treat diarrhea. The method is to boil a few young guava leaves then strain into a glass. After cooling, immediately give it to children who are experiencing diarrhea. This medicine can be given 2x a day, namely morning and evening.

1. Bay leaves.

Bay leaves are often used in cooking spices. It turns out that bay leaves have health benefits, especially for children. For example, to overcome flatulence and other digestive problems. Bay leaves can also help children sleep soundly. Another benefit is that they can increase children's appetite.

1. Soursop leaves.

It turns out that soursop leaves can also be used as herbal medicine for children. One of the benefits is to cure fever in children. Soursop leaves can also improve children's sleep quality. Soursop leaves have many natural compounds such as anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial so they can be used as herbal medicine for toothache.

Herbal Remedy for Bedwetting: Make an herbal remedy to overcome bedwetting in children. Write down the recipe, steps, and observations.

Bedwetting is a common problem in children. However, if left untreated, it will be a problem for children and parents. So here I try to prepare an herbal remedy to overcome this problem.

-2 ingredients that I use:

• 2 grams of cinnamon and 1 walnut.

How to make it is by washing the cinnamon and walnuts clean, I break them and then I take the contents. Boil with hot water for 10 minutes and strain the boiled water into a glass. Wait until it cools, and give it to the children as a drink. The dosage can be adjusted according to the age of the children. For ages under three years old, give ½ glass and the rest give one glass for one drink.

Benefits and how it works:

Cinnamon is often used to help overcome bedwetting problems in young children. Cinnamon is very useful for improving bladder health, especially in children. Cinnamon can also provide a warm feeling so that children can sleep comfortably.

Walnuts are also very good for strengthening the bladder. Walnuts have quite high potassium so they are very good for the growth and development of children.

Observation:

So far I have not been able to make observations in giving this herbal medicine. Incidentally, my daughter is not used to wetting the bed. So I cannot give an assessment of the efficacy of this potion. It takes a long time to determine whether this potion can work effectively.

I hope to get valuable lessons in this class especially about herbal and children's health issues. Thanks to the teaching team @afzalqamar, Previously I would like to invite my friends @ulfatulrahmah @pecintabunga20 and @suryanitj.
