10 Home Remedies For Canker Sores
Home Remedy #5: Coconut Oil
Coconut oil has recently gained ground as a medicinally beneficial natural product. It is used for oral health, including as a home remedy for canker sores. Coconut oil is anti-inflammatory. It also contains antimicrobial and antifungal compounds. These properties come in handy for when you want to get rid of canker sores.
To use coconut oil, start by cleaning your hands, then take some coconut oil and put it on the canker sores. Try to stick it onto the sore to work more effectively. If you are not able to stick it onto the sore, take one tablespoon of the oil, melt it, and place it into your mouth. Swish it for 5 to 15 minutes. You can also mix it with beeswax to thicken it.
