People who have encountered mouth ulcers know the pain and discomfort that this disorder can cause. Eating anything becomes next to impossible and whatever little you try to consume goes down very painfully. Anxiety has a big part to play in these ulcers occurring inside the mouth along with malnutrition. The precise causes of mouth ulcers differ from person to person. 

Mouth ulcers aren’t transferable and normally go away in a few days. Regardless, if you get a canker sore that is gigantic or incredibly painful, or if it endures for a long time without recuperation, you should seek the advice of an expert.

Ayushakti brings you 5 Natural Home Remedies for Mouth Ulcers

1. Alum powder

Alum powder is created from potassium aluminum sulfate. It’s usually used to maintain food and to pickle vegetables. Alum has astringent effects that may help shrink tissues and dry out ulcers or canker sores.

USE:

• Create a fine paste by combining a small amount of alum powder with very little water.
• Pat the mixture onto a canker sore.
• Leave on for at least 2 minutes.
• Wash your mouth properly.
• Repeat every day until your ulcer is gone.

2. Honey

As we all already know, honey has antibacterial effects. Plus it can be a useful natural emollient. So, whenever you have mouth ulcers, just take a small piece of cotton and apply honey on the mouth ulcers with the help of the cotton. Keep on replicating till you sense that the swelling is reducing and it’s feeling less hurting.

3. Aloe Vera

We all know about the manifold advantages of aloe vera for our skin. Accept it or not, aloe vera can also be an efficacious mouth ulcer remedy. Just take some naturally pulled-out aloe vera gel and apply it to the ulcer. The antiseptic effects of aloe vera will help in providing you with almost instant comfort.

4. Ghee

Believe it or not, ghee can diminish swelling thereby making it a much sought-after treatment for mouth ulcers. Just take a tiny bit of unadulterated and pure ghee on your fingertip and apply it directly to the ulcers. Leave it for some time and then rinse your mouth with plain water. Do this routine at least twice a day.

5. Chamomile Compress

Chamomile is used as a natural therapy to heal injuries and relieve pain. Chamomile contains 2 combinations with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic powers: azulene and levomenol. A chamomile tea bag can be used as a compress to relieve canker sores.

To use, apply a soaked chamomile tea bag to your ulcers, and leave it on for some minutes. You can also wash your mouth with freshly brewed chamomile tea. Repeat the remedy 3 to 4 times daily.
