Natural Cures
The best way to avoid all of the pain
and irritation that accompanies canker
sores is to prevent their actual development.
Additionally, if there are already developed
canker sores, avoid aggravating the
condition by following some simple guidelines:
|
Avoid
the consumption of tough and abrasive
foods such as nuts. Consume soft,
neutral foods such as pureed vegetables,
soups and porridge. |
|
Avoid salty,
spicy and tangy foods. Do not drink
juices that were made with citrus
fruits. |
|
Consume
many foods that are rich in vitamin
B-12. Examples of such foods are
leafy vegetables and whole grains.
Grains should be well-cooked and
soft and vegetables should be lightly
cooked. |
|
Consume
yogurt on a regular basis. Yogurt
contains active acidophilus bacteria
that can heal canker sores and control
their outbreak. |
|
Utilize
adequate oral hygiene practices.
Do not vigorously brush the teeth
and utilize a soft bristled toothbrush. |
The
following natural cures can be utilized
to heal canker sores:
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is practically the
miracle cure! Here is how it can be
used to heal canker sores:
|
Soak a cotton swab
in Apple Cider Vinegar and press
it against the ulcer. Repeat this
procedure a couple of times throughout
the day. |
|
Rinsing
the mouth with Apple Cider Vinegar
a couple of times each day can also
aid in relieving canker sores. |
Aloe
Vera
Aloe
Vera juice can be an effective and inexpensive
remedy for canker sores. To utilize
aloe vera juice for this purpose, simply
rinse the mouth with it a couple of
times throughout one day. This will
aid in relieving the pain and in speeding
the healing process of the sore.
Baking Soda
Utilize
baking soda to kill the bacteria in
the mouth so that the sores heal more
quickly. Baking soda can also prevent
a recurrence of canker sores.
|
Baking soda can be
applied on the sores in the form
of paste or powder. |
|
Alternatively,
a mouthwash can be created with
baking soda. Mix one teaspoon of
baking soda in one half of a cup
of warm water and rinse the mouth
with this mouthwash several times
each day. |
Onion
Rubbing
onion against a canker sore is among
the most common home remedies for treating
this condition. Hold a chunk of raw
onion against the canker sore for a
few minutes to aid in the healing process.
Plum Juice
Plum
juice may be utilized as a mouthwash,
which is a fantastic remedy for canker
sores. Simply rinse the mouth with a
few tablespoons of plum juice. If the
sore is severe, you can soak a cotton
ball in plum juice and apply it directly
onto the sore.
Tea bag
Press
a wet tea bag against the sore to relieve
the pain. Tea bags contain tannin, which
aids in pain relief and assists in speeding
