Can anyone provide natural teething remedies for my 5 month old?

My 5 month old daughter has started teething. She is constantly drooling and putting her hand in her mouth. I haven't felt any teeth poke through yet but I really want to provide her with some sort of comfort and preferrably something a little more natural rather than baby tylenol or oralgel. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for all the help! :)

    Hylands teething tablets (3-4 under tongue) works in 15 minutes and baby sleeps for hours!!! Or you can put a drop of tea tree on a qtip and it will get rid of the toothache too!

    My little one is teething too and loves a few crushed ice cubes wrapped up in a baby washcloth, this has what's worked best for us. I've also heard frozen banana chunks in one of those little mesh feeders (sold in the baby aisle) work really well, but my baby isn't crazy about this idea so I don't know for sure if it works. I've also tried freezing a wet washcloth flat and then letting her gnaw on that, it sort of worked.

    I bought the Hyland's teething tablets as well...but ultimately found the baby ibuprofen provided by far the most relief for my babies.
