EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
'Emotional form of acupuncture' has reaped successes with many dental issues
EFT is an easily applicable DIY energy healing tool involving tapping on certain acupuncture points while saying statements addressing the issue at hand. Its simple basic technique only takes a couple of hours to learn. At first blush, the uninitiated would think it odd that a technique apparently geared to relieve human emotional suffering would be featured and in fact highly recommended on a site devoted to the natural treatment of teeth. The fact is, however, that EFT and other energy healing techniques have frequently worked wonders with both emotional and physical ailments, including dental ones!
And basically, this is little wonder considering that at its most basic level, our body is just pure energy...
Impressive examples of EFT's potentially powerful effect on various dental issues include things such as relief of "emotionally caused toothache", other tooth pain relief and resetting of a rotten tooth, helping avoid a root canal, dental cavities in a 4 and a 7 year old disappearing, relief of sore, swollen gums in minutes, curing a tooth infection, disappearance of the pain from a fractured tooth etc.
An example of fine-tuning EFT to stop dental pain after extractions
An interesting example of how different wording when tapping can make all the difference can be found on the internet. A person reported that they had two wisdom teeth extracted and treated the pain resulting from the tissue damage with EFT. Addressing the pain however "worked only to an extent". But when instead the person addressed the pain as "trauma", he became pain-free and very comfortable.
Using EFT for overcoming the fear of dentists
For those who feel they need or still prefer to be treated by a dentist, EFT has also been successfully used to overcome the fear of dentists (which personally I think is a very healthy and well-founded fear indeed considering the major health hazard dentistry has been posing, compare Conventional).
How to learn EFT
You can learn online to use EFT on yourself or your friends or buy the classic EFT Manual by Gary Craig, see Books: Energy Medicine.
Other energy healing techniques
While EFT can be a useful tool and is relatively simple to learn and apply, I most highly recommend Donna Eden's Energy Medicine as well. While somewhat more involved, her variegated techniques apart from addressing most ailments under the sun, have also been used to heal toothache and actually reverse cavities.
