Have you ever bitten your cheek or tongue while having a meal accidentally ?
I sometimes did it and it's usually when I was thinking something else while eating foods.
It's painful and it usually continues about a week to be fully recovered.
Last Friday, my husband accidentally bit his cheek quite hard while eating his lunch at work.
He said usually after 2 to 3 days, from his experience, the pain gets worse , then it heals.
and he didn't say anything about it to me until Sunday afternoon, when the symptoms got worse and I didn't know about it .
He looked fine until Sunday afternoon.
I was giving him a massage in the afternoon and soon he fell a sleep.
He said after he woke up from the nap, he was getting pain from the cheek.
and I noticed that his cheek was getting swollen, as if there was a ball in the side of the lower cheek.
and his face and his body had high fever.
I've never seen and heard that one's face could get so swollen from biting one's cheek, so it's new discovery for me.
and we tried several natural remedies for it.
First, he tried cayenne / garlic powder and gargled with it, adding some water in it.
It didn't work.
Next was Rhodiola root herb. ( it's usually working for all kinds of fever and infection )
It also didn't work.
Next , I suggested extra virgin coconut oil.
After he took one table spoon of coconut oil, his pain had gone.
But his fever was still staying.
Anyways, his pain had gone, so he was able to fall a sleep until next day.
Then I was searching about some other natural remedy for his situation in internet.
and found there are many people who are ( were ) experiencing the same symptom as my husband.
One of the remedies is raw honey.
We have honey which is from Orange blossom, however this honey didn't work.
So we rushed to get organic raw honey ( the one which is directly from the bee hive ) and tried it.
He was putting some honey on the part that he bit inside of his cheek.
Soon he noticed that he was feeling better and better.
It's working !!!
and he said he can feel like the honey is fighting against the infection.
and I noticed that the swelling was getting smaller within a few hours.
The next day, his condition got much better and almost already completely recovered.
I've read about that it usually takes at least 1 to 2 weeks to be fully recovered.
But with the raw honey, it's super fast to recover !
Organic Raw honey is also good for toothaches, gum aches as well.
I thought there may be people who may have similar experience as my husband.
If you bite your cheek or gum or tongue, raw honey is a very powerful natural remedy, so you may want to try it.
Raw honey works for many other health problems, and so far we think that for cheek bites ( or anything concerning mouth issues ) its the most powerful and also for stomach flu ( with cinnamon powder ) worked great as well.
Also, there is one more thing I was adding for his cheek healing which is using my hands.
You can do it with your hands as well as your partner's or family's or friend's hands.
The palm of your hands have the power to heal pain and injury and any illness.
I've learned about it from QiGong.
I just put one of my hands on his swollen cheek for a while with love.
and I said to my husband "your cheek will recover soon" , three times.
These combination is even more powerful and faster to heal.
