Hello everyone,
I was in dreaded agony the other evening, the pain was in my mouth, around the top of my jaw. I was so worried that the pain was due to a bad tooth, I was so wrong. I went to the dentist, and found out that I have a calcium deposit in my salivary gland. Apparently these calcium deposits are not totally uncommon. The assistant said she had one a long time ago and it passed on its own. I was happy to hear that as I don't want to have to go to the oral surgeon and get the deposit surgically removed, it costs a lot of money to have that done. Years ago I had a calcium deposit by my eye, and the esthetician noticed right away and popped it.
has anyone had a calcium deposit in the salivary gland? And if so, were you able to get rid of it, perhaps using a natural home remedy??? I read that a castor oil pack, placed on the face over the salivary gland, can draw the deposit out?
I believe that lifestyle and diet can contribute to these things we get, like calcium deposits. My diet has, in all honesty, been rather acidic bc of all the processed foods I've been eating. Also, I've been eating wheat and dairy again, and take calcium/magnesium supplements. Today However, I made an appt to see a holistic nutritionist, to get tested for food allergies. The tests will really help!
Thank you!
