Calendula

This remedy can help the body overcome inflammation, infection, and abscess. It can be taken internally in potentized form, or used as a herbal tincture. Applied to injured gums and areas around the teeth, the tincture can help reduce the chance of infection, and help the tissues heal after being cut or bruised.
