How to Naturally Treat a Canker Sore

A Canker sore is a type of oral ulcer. A canker sore consists of an open sore in the mouth, that is caused by a break in the mucous membrane of the mouth or throat. There are a few ways to use natural remedies to treat a canker sore, and also to help prevent future canker sores.

Instructions

1

If your canker sore is still active, apply Clove Oil directly 3-4 times per day. Hold the Qtip against the canker sore for a minute before removing.

2

Apply Myrrh Tincture to an active canker sore 1-2 times per day, alternating with the Clove Oil. This also helps to speed up the healing process of the canker sore.

Take Zinc Lozenges for both active and non active canker sores to help speed up the healing process.
