Richard Rossheim, a Natural Health On The Web newsletter subscriber asks:

Please I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to cure canker sores that occur in your mouth. Please let me know if you are familiar with a treatment that is effective in riding the body of canker sores on a long-term basis.

Hello Richard and thank you for writing in with your question. Unfortunately canker sores have become a part of everyday life, but what people do not know is that there are many ways not only to cure a canker sore naturally but to use natural remedies on a daily basis to prevent canker sores as well. These small and painful ulcers inside the mouth are often found to reoccur with many people and this makes them want to find a natural cure even more.
Typically people will find that the average canker sore will arise on the inside of the mouth on the tongue, inside of the cheeks, floor and the mouth and on the outside of the mouth on the lips. Although not many people would think alternative health options are necessary for canker sores, anyone who has had one knows they are more painful than you may think. For people who experience canker sores on a regular basis, whether they reoccur in the same place or they alternate between your tongue, your cheeks or your lips, there is an alternative medicine out there to help you.

German Chamomile is a very popular herb which has been used for thousands of years when it comes to healing sore throats, gingivitis, psoriasis and more. This particular chamomile has been found to cure the pain for people enduring canker sores on a regular basis. In one study which was completed, 82% of the people involved in the study experienced an extreme relief when it comes to pain during their use of German Chamomile. Before choosing to take German Chamomile to cure your canker sore it is important to consult your health professional to ensure it will not interfere with any of your current medications.

Lady’s Mantle is yet another herb which has been used for centuries to cure throat and mouth infections. By applying this gel three times daily it not only increases the healing time but it also makes efforts to prevent a cold sore from reappearing days later. During a study done with Lady’s Mantle, 75% found themselves feeling less pain and watching their canker sore shrink away days faster than using anything over the counter from the drugstore.

Vitamin B12 is the best herbal treatment for people who experience canker sores on a regular basis. Studies have shown that many people are experiencing low levels of Vitamin B12 and this is what generally causes canker sores to continually appear. Supplements such as this should not be taken with any antibiotics or other prescription drugs, which makes it incredibly important to consult your physician before deciding on the best Vitamin B12 dose for you.

Lastly, Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is one of the most successful herbs used to heal and relieve pain from a canker sore. A small study has been conducted with this age old herb to heal canker sores. By the third day of the study 75% of the people involved had completely healed canker sores. This is a result that many people did not think was possible before the alternative healing methods began sweeping the world.

As you can see, having a canker sore does not mean you have to live with it for weeks. There are many 100% safe herbal remedies that can be used to relieve pain and heal your canker sore in a matter of days. Take healing to the next step with the success of herbal remedies.

I hope this information was helpful to you. I wish you the very best of health.
