1. Garlic
Garlic has high antiviral properties. A truly natural “disinfectant”. You can cut a tooth and rub it on the canker sores for a few seconds. Repeat several times a day.
2. Baking soda
As a palliative remedy for its disinfecting and anti-inflammatory effect. You can mix a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and gargle or apply it directly to your mouth.
3. Calendula
It is a plant that has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that act positively in the healing of mouth ulcers. Bring a glass of water (200 ml) to a boil and add a teaspoon of marigold flowers. Wait a few minutes, remove the flowers and let stand. Use it to gargle several times a day.
4. Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera is an effective remedy to cure mouth ulcers, since it has anti-inflammatory properties and contains amino acids and vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C, which accelerate the healing process.
If you have aloe vera plants, you can take a leaf and apply the gel directly to the canker sore, repeating 3-4 times a day. Or you can use 100% pure Aloe vera gel for internal use, diluting one teaspoon of gel in one cup of water and gargling. Do not rinse
5. Ice
By acting as an anti-inflammatory and numbing painful area, ice can help calm the discomfort caused by mouth ulcers. Wrap a bucket in a clean cloth and apply it to the sore. You can do this as many times as you want
6. Coconut milk
It is one of the most effective natural remedies for mouth sores. You should simply rinse your mouth with coconut milk three or four times a day until the ulcers start to shrink.
7. Tea
Thanks to the tannin content, with its healing properties, a bag of black tea can be used as a remedy for mouth ulcers: just prepare a tea and use the bag by applying it directly to the mouth.
