WASH AWAY oral discomfort with this Amazonian chewing trick
With all the pain pills out there… and all the pain management specialists…
How come so many folks are still in so much pain?
Patients are DESPERATE for some relief…
But given the LIMITED options out there… it seems like you’ve got to make “a deal with the devil” in order for the discomfort to DISAPPEAR.
Now, there are many different types of pain… and everyone has their own experience…
But there’s one type of pain in particular that could be ERASED by a closely-held secret out of Brazil…
A local anesthetic that’s MASQUERADING as a humble flower!
Chew on THIS
Jambu (Acmella oleracea or Spilanthes acmella) is a flower in the daisy family that grows in Brazil near the Amazon River.
It’s widely known in South American traditional medicine as the “toothache plant”…
Because chewing the flowers triggers a numbing sensation.
Now, your teeth may be PERFECT…
But jambu could help address a common type of oral pain you may experience when being treated for cancer.
It’s called stomatitis – and it usually arises as a result of radiation therapy or even chemo, particularly in cases of oral cancer or head and neck cancer.
The mouth sores that ERUPT are like the worst canker sores you’ve ever had… and then some.
The discomfort could be so severe… it becomes difficult to eat or talk.
Conventional docs might give you pain pills… even NARCOTICS…
Or a special kind of mouthwash or antiseptic rinse.
But those could carry risks… and based on their ingredients, they’re usually CHEMICAL concoctions!
Mainstream mouth rinses could also contain antibiotics… and even steroids…
Neither of which are meant to be used over the long term.
Jambu could offer a natural alternative to opioid drugs… or a complementary therapy to other mainstream approaches.
Its active pain-killing compound is a substance called spilanthol , first isolated from jambu by scientists in 1945.
It works in 2 key ways:
- REDUCING pain perception by targeting opioid receptors
- EXTINGUISHING uncomfortable inflammation by inhibiting COX-2 and NF-κB.
Here’s what sets it apart from Big Pharma’s NSAID drugs.
Instead of WRECKING your stomach… it contains a compound that could actually PROTECT your gastric lining from ulcers!
It also doesn’t have to go through your digestive system at all…
Because it can PENETRATE your delicate mouth lining (or “mucosa”) on contact.
And you don’t need to combine it with antibiotic drugs to keep open sores from becoming infected…
Because it’s got antimicrobial power built right in!
Now, there may be more that jambu can do to BANISH other types of pain, too.
In one animal study, Brazilian researchers discovered that an IV injection of jambu extract REDUCED multiple types of pain perception throughout the body…
With ZERO adverse effects.
And in a 2020 meta-analysis, the authors state that jambu’s potential is promising for chronic pain associated with degenerative diseases.
Now, you’re not likely to find fresh or dried jambu in this country…
So look for it in tincture form (sometimes called “paracress” or simply “Spilanthes extract”) at your local health food store or online.
Make sure it contains organic ingredients intended for oral health – and not a version of spilanthol for cosmetic purposes. (Its numbing action makes it an herbal alternative to anti-wrinkle therapies like Botox.)
Try diluting just a few drops in plenty of water and swishing it around… but not swallowing it.

P.S. There’s another natural way to EASE the pain of cancer treatment-related mouth sores… and even HEAL damaged tissue. It’s a special kind of licorice that’s available as a mouthwash… lozenges… and chewable tablets.
