NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR MOUTH ULCERS
 

Mouth ulcers refer to the small white spot on the inside of the cheek, the tongue or clustered on the inner side of the lip. They are also known as canker sores. In severe cases the person is not able to drink and eat anything.

Causes of Mouth Ulcers
The various causes of mouth ulcers are:
  • High intake of spicy or acidic food
  • Lack of vitamin B2 in the diet
  • Minor injuries
  • Viral infections
Home Remedies for Mouth Ulcers

Take 4-5 leaves of holy basil and chew them in the morning and evening with water. This cures the mouth ulcers and prevents the bad smell from the mouth. This is very good home remedy for mouth ulcers.

Intake of mulberry juice is also beneficial as it provides relief from mouth ulcers.

Massaging the gums with coconut milk and honey thrice a day is also beneficial.

Take 1 tsp of coriander seeds in 1 cup of water and boil to make slightly warm. Gargle 3-4 times a day. This is also effective home remedy for mouth ulcers.

Application of peppermint oil to the mouth ulcers gives relief from pain and irritation.

Daily intake of banana with curd in the morning also cures mouth ulcers.

Mix a pinch of turmeric powder to 1 tsp glycerine and apply this solution on ulcers. This is one of the effective and simple home remedies for mouth ulcers.

Make a solution of 2 oz hydrogen peroxide, 2 oz water, 1 tsp of salt and baking soda. Rinse the mouth with this solution but remember do not swallow that solution. This is also effective home remedy for mouth ulcers.

Gargling daily with Listerine prevents bad smell from the mouth and also cures ulcers.

Application of any toothpaste on the area many times a day gives quick relief from ulcers.

Make a paste of amla (Indian gooseberry) and apply on the ulcers 2-3 times a day. This is one of the effective home remedies for mouth ulcers.

Highly spiced foods, hot tea and coffee should be avoided.

Mix 1 tsp finely powdered Indian Gooseberry root bark with honey. Apply this to the affected areas. This is also effective home remedy for mouth ulcers.

Daily intake of tomatoes juice is also beneficial for the treatment of mouth ulcers.

Apply hydrogen peroxide (1 part hydrogen peroxide and one part water) with a cotton swab on the ulcers. This is also one of the effective home remedies for mouth ulcers.

Gargle alternately with hot and cold water.

Chew on 5-6 tulsi (holy basil leaves) and sip some water. Repeat 5-6 times a day.

simply dab a bit of sulphuric acid onto the ulcer, it will dissapear within seconds

Several people say eating kiwi fruit gets rid of mouth ulcers

Sulphuric acid can be found in batteries. That is not a good advice comment, Glen because over application would eat through your entire lip. But I guess moving the problem from the ulcer into your dissolving mouth is a way of going about it.
#3 - skepi - 02/03/2008 - 08:02
place an asprin on the ulcer for a few minutes. numbs it right up. temporary relief only. :-[]

3% peroxide - take a mouthful straight from the bottle... hold in your mouth for 5 to 10 minutes - kills the bacteria, and reduces the mouth ulcer - gone the following day

PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF PAIN AND DO NOT FOLLOW MOST OF THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS.

Acids will cause AGGRAVATION AND ENLARGEMENT OF THE ULCER. Tomato juice, acidic fruit, etc. DO NOT CURE ULCERS.. It is a similar principal as having a stomach ulcer. use of acids will make it worse.

A simple home remedy is to use old fashioned DARK BROWN molasses. Put some of it on the ulcer and just let it sit on the ulcer. It relieves pain, reduces size and Cures it.

I have also heard that Organic Raw Honey heals them too, using the same method, although I haven't tried that remedy myself.

Tooth paste for a mouth ulcer is not a good idea at all! It only aggravates it further and has no healing affect at all, only extra unneccesary pain!>-(
#7 - David Rutenberg - 03/30/2008 - 10:30
If u place buttter on the ulcer for 1 minute then put salt on it it will clear it up it really works surprisingly
#8 - Robin - 04/07/2008 - 21:53
take a glass of luke warm water and disolve some table salt in it. Then, swish the water around in your mouth for a minute or 2. Also if you wish you can gargle it too. do this 2-3 times a day or as necesary .It isn't a imediate cure but it does help with pain.

Dab just a very little amount of Albotyl over the mouth sore (stomatitis) and leave on for a while. You will feel some sharp pain and tinglin on the sore. This will cause the sore to become very white--then this will signal you when to rinse your mouth with water. Only one application of Albotyl usually helps and the healing process will follow after this. You will also almost instantly feel relieved from the pain and you will start to enjoy eating again.

Placing a wet teabag on the affected area, or drink warm tea a push it down to the place of the ulcer. i found these worked really wel
#11 - Jane - 05/31/2008 - 15:56
B-)

A suggestion, dont bad mouth sulphuric acid unless you've tried it, I had the worst 2 weeks of my life when my whole mouth was covered in ulcers, I used the Pharmacies own Sulphuric Acid swab and not only was my mouth numb for 2 days so I could eat again but the Ulcers have all gone!!
And no it's not the same concentration of acid as a battery for heaven sake people use your brains please.
#12 - Tidgy - 06/18/2008 - 12:53
Rub table salt onto the ulcer before bedtime. It hurts like crazy but it takes just 2 applications to heal.
