Remedy for rotten molars

Recipe (1938)
About 250 g of quicklime is slaked with hot water. About 1 liter of water is now added and the mixture is allowed to stand until the lime has completely settled. Then the lime water is poured off and clean water is poured over the lime again. Now the lime is allowed to settle again and the clear lime water is poured into a clean bottle.

After you have brushed your teeth in the usual way, you rinse your mouth with this lime water. It must be ensured that the lime water comes into contact with all molars and teeth. Then rinse with clean water.

Over time, even very bad teeth absorb small amounts of calcium and become significantly healthier.
