Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is incorrect because it is not a natural remedy.
Rationale 2: Oil of anise (scientific name Pimpinella) is used for jaw pain caused by nerve pressure or gritting of teeth. Anise oil is an antispasmodic agent, which means it relaxes intense muscular pressure around the jaw angle, cheeks, and throat area. It has extra benefits in that it is also a natural expectorant, cough suppressant, and breath freshener.
Rationale 3: Eugenia is incorrect because Eugenia (eugenol is the chemical extract found in cloves) is thought to produce a numbing effect. It works especially well for cavities.
Rationale 4: Cooking sherry is incorrect because cooking sherry is usually just low-grade sherry that has salt added to make it undrinkable and useful solely for cooking.
