Actions: Coat tooth and gum with clove oil. Alcohol extracts or alcohol held or swished over tooth. This one can be damaging to the gums, though, so use with care. Choose a spray designed for sore throats, soak a cotton ball in it, and bite down on it. Put a bit of onion in your mouth near the tooth, the juice will help to nullify some of the pain. Rinse your mouth out with hydrogen peroxide. Gargle and rinse with an alcohol based mouthwash. (Same warning as prior.)

Actions: Activity, not necessarily physical, can assist with depression. Lethargy exacerbates to feeling and the condition. Also taking a good hard look at what you eat and when can assist with battling depression. A lot of mood disorders can be traced, at least in part, to a lack of appropos nutrition, or an imbalance that is causing other physical issues. We have had quite a bit of luck with this tea as a long term tonic for mood issues, and this one as a more immediate assist for depression and rage.

Actions: Putting warm compresses over the sinuses/where the infection is can help. Make sure to stay hydrated. You use even more water than usual when your body is attempting to flush an infection. Drink chamomile tea, especially blends involving cinnamon, and sweeten with honey. This gives a triple punch to whatever is causing the infection. Both cinnamon and honey have effects on fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Eat cinnamon candies, or chew cinnamon gum. Make sure that it is actual cinnamon used, not “cinnamon flavour,” which is a chemical substitute that does not have the effects of cinnamon. If you can tolerate drinking cinnamon tea or chewing on a cinnamon stick, that has an even greater effect. My partner, who had chronic and persistent sinus infections, swears by this tea.
