I think I have TMJ. Please recommend some decently affordable herbs or home treatments to help with my TMJ. Thank you. I know I have it.

To be honest with you I don't know of anyone who has used anything herbal and had any success with it. There was a lady who said that magnesium helped her, so I went out and bought some. I'm willing to try anything at this point. It was only about four dollars for a bottle, but it didn't help me at all. As far as home treatments, I use a heating pad every night and throughout the day (when I'm not at work) and it helps a great deal. Some people use ice instead, or they alternate heat and ice. I would be careful about some of those products out there that promise to take away pain because I think they are just a waste of money. Good luck to you.

Theres no pain in the jaw yet, but theres a clicking/grinding/popping noise on my left side everytime I open my jaw, my teeth hurt inexplicably once in a while even when nothing is touching them and ive had a 20 decibel hearing loss on that side as a cause of it.

Hello,
did you just start having "tmj?" What happen to that side of your tooth?
