10 Home Remedies For Canker Sores
Home Remedy #3: Cayenne
Besides its use in various cuisines, cayenne pepper is a great home remedy for canker sores besides other conditions. Cayenne pepper contains a large amount of a compound called capsaicin, which helps to relieve pain and reduce inflammation caused by canker sores. Capsaicin works by numbing the nerves temporarily. Capsaicin is the compound that gives peppers their hot, spicy taste.
To use cayenne pepper for canker sores, you need a cotton swab, warm water, and the cayenne pepper powder. Mix a little warm water with cayenne pepper powder to form a thick paste. Using the cotton swab, apply the thick mixture to the canker sores. Repeat the procedure twice or thrice daily until you get rid of the canker sores.
