I have been having tmj symptoms for the past 20 years on and off. The last month or so, it has been increasingly painful. After doing extensive research on the internet, I have found relief after only 3 days of taking these herbs and supplements.
2000 mg per day of Ginger Root for Inflammation. I cannot take an nsaid because of an ulcer and that is why I am using the ginger root.
1300 mg per day of Valerian Root. This helps you relax
1000 mg per day of Magnesium. Once I added this 2 days after starting the others, my jaw is finally loosened and the pain is
no longer there.
I have been taking 1000 mg 2x per day of Magnesium oxide only because I know the oxide does not absorb into the system well. After this is done, I am going to switch to Magnesium Chelate 500 mg per day and see how that goes. I may go up to 1000 mg per day if it is not enough.
But this is working for me. I used to wear a dentist brace 15 years ago, but the prices of these devices seem so high now and insurance won't cover it. Way back when, my insurance covered it , but no longer.
Give it a try, it has worked for me.
