Is there a natural medicine for canker sores?

[Guest guest]

Dear Dave:

 

I too was once plagued with canker sores and also pimples on the tongue, (

yeast)...thanks to my Clinical Ecologist introducing me to probiotics many years

ago, I have solved the problem! I take Jarro-Dophilus w/ FOS powder, which

contains 12 billion live bacteria; just by sprinkling about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon

frequently on the sore or the pimple it will be gone within the

hour...fantastic! I buy it from The Apothecary in Bethesda, MD which is

opposite NIH. You can call them at 1 800 869-9159. If you find it constipates,

just increase your vitamin C intake.

>I often get canker sores in my mouth and it usually takes about a

week to get rid of them. And during the duration, the canker sores

can be quite painful and discomforting. I have read that alum (a

spice found in pickles) can shrink down the canker sore, but I am

unaware of the effectiveness that it has. What natural medicine can

be used to get rid of and ease the pain of canker sores? Any input

would be grateful.<
