Mouth ulcers are painful sores that appear in the mouth.
Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are small, painful lesions that appear on the lips or tongue.
They usually appear on the inside of the lips, gums, tongue, roof of the mouth, or throat and can make eating difficult.
Eating a lot of highly acidic foods is usually a factor. As a result, avoiding acidic foods, particularly acidic fruit, should be your first step if an ulcer develops. This will hasten the healing process and reduce irritation in your mouth.
Consider the following home remedies for mouth ulcers:
-
Black tea
When black tea is applied directly to a canker sore, the tannins (an astringent substance that removes residue and dirt) speed up healing.
Before using the black tea, prepare it by steeping the tea bag in a cup of hot water. Apply the tea bag to the canker sore as soon as the water and bag have cooled.
-
Cloves
To relieve pain and hasten the healing of canker sores, chew on cloves. Cloves’ antibacterial and analgesic properties help keep a canker sore clean, promote healing, and alleviate pain.
-
Saltwater
Warm salt water rinses can disinfect and speed up the healing of canker sores. Because salt has an antibacterial effect, it eliminates microorganisms from any contaminated area. Simply combine a teaspoon of salt and a cup of warm water to make salt water. Use this mixture to rinse your mouth for a few minutes twice a day.
-
Natural yogurt
Consuming a serving of yogurt with Bifidus or probiotics will improve your bowel movements and intestinal flora. This can boost your body’s natural defenses and hasten the healing of mouth ulcers.
