How to Avoid Pain Killers After Tongue Tie Release

I had my posterior tongue tie release in November 2017.  I had prepared for a month beforehand by seeing my Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist weekly and doing her prescribed mouth and tongue stretches and exercises 3 times a day.

When it came time for the procedure, I used homeopathic remedies to help with the pain, swelling, and emotions that came with the procedure.  

Homeopathy is very dilute potency of an original substance.  The essence of the original item helps the body naturally strengthen and heal how it is naturally designed to heal. The 200C means the original item is soaked in alcohol and shaken 99 times, then a drop of the alcohol tincture is put in water, shaken 99 times, and the process is repeated 200 times.  It's actually more potent the more it is diluted.  Homeopathy does no harm, unlike Western medicines which often have harmful uncomfortable side effects or can tax the liver or other organs among other effects.

For homeopathy, a dose is typically 2-5 pellets.  The little sugar balls are coated in the homeopathy, and it doesn't matter if you take 5 or 50 pellets in one dose.  What matters is the frequency of dosing.
