Has anyone heard of Friars Balsam being used to treat the pain of TN? A friend of mine has had 2 episodes of sudden onset jaw and cheek pain which she says was only relieved when mixing the balsam with hot water and then inhaling it.

If anyone has information on this I'd be grateful. I haven't found anything yet!

Thanks in advance 🙂

    Friars balsam mixed with hot water added, then inhaled is an old hay fever and sinusitis cure, the severe pain of TN I don't think would be relieved by this.

      Thanks, I thought the same but didn't want to upset my friend. I couldn't find anything on Dr Google (😉) to support what she said.

      Thank you for replying 😊
