Hi all. let me share with you my story. 4 days ago I have went to the health food store and there I have seen 2 natural remedies for TMJ and I thought that it might be a good idea to give them a try especially because I have been doing research about them on the internet, one of those remedies is kava kava (it is made for muscle relaxation) and the other one is magnesium. The first one that I have tried was the kava kava. The good news with this is that it truly has relaxed my muscles so my tmj has loosened and I have been feeling great with it, however, there is also the bad news which is that it has worn off after only 4 hours and it is very toxic to the liver to take this one more than once or 2 times a day. I really do not want to risk with my liver. Slowly but steadily, the spastic muscle pains were getting worse and worse and I have figured it out that I would need to resort to the advil once again after I ate something. During the dinner I have taken my usual vitamins (my usual vitamins are vit c, vit e, calcium, d2, d3 etc. etc.) but this time, the only difference was that besides that I have also taken a 300 mg of chelated magnesium. Right after that, the time I should have taken the advil, I have got a phone call and I have completely forgot about taking the advil right after dinner. I went to the computer doing my stuff (because of that phone call) and I have been pretty shocked starting to notice that my jaw muscles are relaxing instead of getting worse, that’s because usually, when I sit there at the computer, my tmj pain is getting worse and worse. I got shocked because my pains were literally disappearing gradually. That minute I have been thinking that I have taken my advil but I simply forgot about that. but no, then I’ve seen that I really didn’t took it. then I understood: it was the magnesium that has worked so fast and so well. Believe me or not but it is now the 4th day since I am taking that magnesium dosage and guess what? yeah it is the 4th day since I have been tmj related pain free. You should really try it out if you have similar problems to mine, that’s because it has even helped me with the tense muscles of my neck and my shoulders – it is now gone too. generally it feels so freaking-tasting! I have had toast for breakfast instead of the usual oatmeal I have been eating (I am now so so so sick of this oatmeal!). not sure why but I think that taking 100 mg at each meal and then 200 mg of it before going to sleep is the best way of using it and that’s exactly the way I do. it really feels sooooo good without having those pains! And I need to mention that the pain is not simply dulled or something, but it is completely gone! This is an amazing method that I did not knew about it in the past and that’s why I wanted to share it with you people.
I am just amazed that something so simple has helped me so much with a problem that was annoying me so much for so much time… besides, it feels very good that I am taking something for this problem that it is rather beneficial for my body instead of being something that would hurt my body as kava kava damaging my liver. I really hope that some of you would try this magnesium method out and would find it as beneficial as I did. It purely killed all the pains related to TMJ.
