The witch hat is a symbolic object that has been associated with spirituality and witchcraft for centuries. Beyond its physical appearance, the witch hat holds a deeper spiritual meaning that is often misunderstood or misrepresented. In many pagan and witchcraft traditions, the witch hat is seen as a symbol of power, wisdom, and connection to the spiritual realm. It represents the cone of power and is believed to enhance psychic abilities and channel energy. The pointed shape of the hat is said to help the practitioner focus their intention and direct their energy more effectively. Furthermore, the hat is often adorned with various symbols and decorations that carry their own spiritual meanings.

Oral, pharyngeal, and or laryngeal numbness increases risk for aspiration, and therefore I tell my patients to use this after eating or drinking, not before, which may seem counterintuitive. A study titled Survey of topical oral solutions for the treatment of chemo-induced oral mucositis by Alexandre Chan and Robert J Ignoffo Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice 11 4 , 139-143, 2005 found the following.
Furthermore, the hat is often adorned with various symbols and decorations that carry their own spiritual meanings. For example, feathers may be attached to represent connection with spirit guides or a higher power, while moon and star symbols may be used to symbolize the practitioner's connection to the celestial realms. It is important to note that the association of the witch hat with spirituality and witchcraft predates the negative stereotypes often portrayed in mainstream media.

What are Compounded Prescription Mouthwashes Used For?
Prescription mouthwashes are used to treat mouth sores also known as oral mucositis. These mouth sores are usually caused by cancer chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. There may be other causes or reasons for using a compounded prescription mouthwash. For example, oral surgeries and thrush.
Since these mouth sores can be very painful and disrupt eating and drinking it is important to treat the mouth sores. Prescription mouthwashes can relieve the pain caused by oral mucositis.
These mouth rinses may also be used to treat damage or sores in the throat and esophagus as well. In these cases the mouthwash may also be swallowed.
If a mouthwash is to be swallowed, special consideration needs to be given to the active ingredients in the preparation. Our pharmacists have specialized knowledge and experience with regards to the ingredients that can be used.

Magic Mouthwash Instructions
Note: Always follow your specific directions as prescribed by your doctor.
Depending on the type of mouthwash / mouthrinse you have been prescribed, your specific instructions will vary.
Generally, these mouthwashes are either swished and then spit out or they are swished and then swallowed (swallowing is more common if there are issues with the esophagus). Do NOT swallow the mouthwash unless instructed by your doctor.
Most commonly 5 to 10mL (or 5 to 15mL) are swished for 1 to 2 minutes two to four times a day. The frequency may be at shorter intervals depending on the needs of the patient. Also, we do see volumes up to 30mL used per dose if required.
