To help ease a toothache, take some bark from the south side of a red oak tree. Boil this and add a pinch of salt. Hold it on the tooth that is aching and it will ease the pain.

New Jersey Tea:

Another one that requires one to know exactly what part of the plant to use…

Take the bark from the root of this flower and dry it. A mall handful of dried bark STEEPED in hot water for 1 1/2 hours makes a wonderful medicine for sinus issues. Drink 2 cups a day and it works as a sedative AND antihistamine.

Gargle it for sore throats and toothaches. It is also good for cold sores.

Rattlesnake Plantain:

Make a tea with the leaves and mix with whiskey for colds and toothaches
*If you have a burn type accident when hiking, chew some of the leaves and place it on the burn, it eases the pain
