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.

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

Or, you can apply some natural honey to the sore, or eat yogurt. Both 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.
