CANKER SORE

Natural Cures for Canker Sores - More Than Home Remedies

A canker sore is inside the mouth and is caused by a burn, biting your cheek, irritation from dentures, or even eating a food that is irritating to you.

Add a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to a glass of water and swish the mixture in your mouth. Do not swallow the mixture or give this to children who may not be able to resist swallowing.

Or, you can apply some Raw Honey (not pasteurized) to the sore, or eat yogurt. Either will help to kill germs.

For help with the pain of a canker sore, place a wet teabag onto the sore. To prepare the tea bag, put it into boiling water to brew the tea, then let it cool down completely before applying it.

Coffee, strawberries, chocolate, hot spices, nuts, and acidic foods (like tomatoes) should be avoided while you have a canker sore.
