Chamomile tea has long been used as a home remedy for canker sores. It is an effective and inexpensive treatment for canker sores. The brew is thought to help relieve pain and speed up healing by reducing inflammation. To use chamomile as a canker sore remedy, brew a strong chamomile tea and allow it to cool completely. Chamomile tea is also available in pre-made bottles or bags if you do not have time to brew your own.
Once cooled, use the tea to rinse your mouth, being careful not to swallow any of the liquid. Leave it in place for 5-10 minutes, and then remove it. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times a day until the sore has healed. However, it is essential to note that chamomile tea should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment.
