How do you remedy a canker soar?

HOME REMEDIES FOR CANKER SORE

* Eat plenty of salad with raw onions. Onions contain sulfur and have healing properties.
* Diet should include yogurt and other soured products, such as cottage cheese, and buttermilk.
* Prepare a solution by adding 2 oz hydrogen peroxide, 2 oz water, and 1 tsp each of salt and baking soda. Rinse the mouth with this solution. Do not swallow.
* Rinse your mouth with milk of magnesia to coat sores.
* Orange juice is helpful in preventing the canker sores of the mouth. Drink it up in 2 or 3 days it will go away. Lack of vitamin C causes them. You can also take Vitamin C pills if you don't want to drink all that orange juice.
* Cover the ulcer with a wet tea bag; the tannin will help dry up the sore.
* Mix Sodium bicarbonate powder with water. It is a very effective first aid remedy. This mixture can be used as a mouth rinse as well as swallowed to help make the body more alkaline.
* Use a toothpaste containing sodium bicarbonate instead of the standard toothpastes high in fluoride and other chemicals.
* Antacids can soothe canker sores by reducing the acidity in your mouth that can irritate them.
* Combine equal parts of the liquid form of Kaopectate or Milk of Magnesia (both antacids) with Benylin or Benadryl (both mild anesthetics). Apply the mixture to the canker sore with a cotton swab. You'll cut down on painful acidity in your mouth and numb the sore too.
* Try stress-relieving acupressure exercises. Avoid constant stress. Take time to exercise, sleep and relax.
* Avoid eating fish or meat of any kind for two weeks. The consumption of animal protein increases the body's acidity, which slows healing.
* Avoid chewing gum, lozenges, mouthwashes, tobacco, coffee, citrus fruits, and any other foods that you know trigger these sores.
* Avoid hard toothbrush bristles or sharp-edged foods such as potato chips or dry bread crusts. Too much acid from fruits and vegetables, and spicy foods can also trigger mouth sores.
* Keep the bowels regular to prevent toxic buildup. Walk regularly walking in fresh air to oxygenate the body and stimulate bowel movement.
* To avoid getting canker sores, it is important to maintain a proper balance of minerals, acidity, and alkalinity in the body.
* Do not use the same toothbrush for longer than one month.
* Application of peppermint oil helps, as it is an anesthetic agent.
* Mix coconut milk with honey and massage the gums 3 times a day.
* Take 1 tsp finely powdered Indian Gooseberry root bark, mix with honey. Apply to affected areas frequently
* Grate some fresh coconut. Extract the milk and gargle with this 3-4 times a day.
* Keep 1 glass of chilled water and 1 glass of hot water ready at hand. Gargle alternately with hot and cold water.
* Boil 2 cups of water. Add 1-cup fenugreek leaves and remove. Cover and keep for sometime. Strain the water and gargle 2-3 times a day.
* Boil 1 tsp of coriander seeds in 1 cup of water. Remove when slightly warm gargle. Repeat 3-4 times a day.
* Chew on 5-6 tulsi (holy basil leaves) and sip some water. Repeat 5-6 times a day.
* Raw tomatoes help rid mouth ulcers. Gargle with tomato juice 3-4 times a day also helps.
* Mix 7 parts of sugar candy (mishri) with 1 part of camphor. Apply on the blister.
* Mix a pinch of turmeric powder to 1 teaspoon of glycerin and apply.
* Avoid hot or spicy foods to minimize discomfort. Mild mouth washes such as salt water or over-the-counter mouthwashes may help.
* Apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water with a cotton swab) on the canker sore
* Pouring salt directly on the ulcer can prove effective, however this can be extremely painful and can scar.
* Rinse mouth and especially the affected area with sage tea 3 times a day. The improvement can be seen within 24 hours.
* Gargle a mouthful of warm vinegar with half tablespoon of salt for about 30 secs, 3 times a day. Extremely painful but healing can be seen in about 2 days.
* Make a paste of baking soda and water—apply directly to the sores
