Honey Paste
Honey has been a medicine for centuries, and recent research has confirmed its therapeutic properties. Honey is a natural antibacterial agent, effective against many bacteria that cause infections in wounds and the gut. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce swelling and pain. These properties make honey an ideal treatment for canker sores.
It works by creating a barrier between the sore and the rest of your mouth, which can help to speed up the healing process. In addition, honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help promote healing. Honey is also a natural humectant, which helps retain moisture. This property can help prevent dehydration among individuals with canker sores, reduce scarring, and hasten the process of new tissue growth. Finally, honey is also effective for preventing secondary infections that may worsen your canker sores.
Mix one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of baking soda to use this remedy. Apply the paste to the sore and leave it in place for 30 minutes. Next, rinse your mouth with warm water and repeat this process 3-4 times daily.
