Guest guest Report post Posted April 27, 2004 AWESOME! I'll have to try that!. Thanks Pee Tee Zeb - Pee Tee herbal remedies Sunday, April 25, 2004 6:36 PM Herbal Remedies - canker sores I don't think it would hurt as bad as you may think. As some of you may know I had a bout w/ undiagnosed Impetigo. I unfortunately had an area of it on/in the right nostril opening, on the exterior edge and inner hole/opening ( mucous membrane. I put a little almond oil on a sculptured peice of cotton and some cayenne pepper powder as well. I lodged it up into my nostril and taped it there for the night. Now, bear in mind my head was on a pillow, the cotton was packed, BUT my nose weaped not only from the sore but from just pure moisture or whatever, snot ? In the morning when I pulled it out from my nostril the cotton was soaking. This defenately isn't the inside of the mouth where we associate 'hot foods' but I guarantee you if you pack cotton/cayenne NEATLY between gum and cheek for a night you wouldn't taste a thing. Cayenne pain in the tender membrane areas is a dull pain feeling (to me, anyway), not a hot spicy tasting pain.OOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!But effective.Zeb_______________Lose those love handles!

Guest guest Report post Posted August 12, 2004 Years ago I had an extremely evil canker sore on the inside of my bottom lip. Our family had an MD that was was ahead of her time when it came to healing naturally. I saw her about the sore as I tried everything I could think of to help heal it. She suggested I go to the nearest drugstore and buy several small pieces of licorice candy. Chew them up and run the salivia around the sore. No limit on how often I could use this - can't remember if it numbed the pain - but what I do remember is this sore started to clear up the next day. It still took another day or two to clear completely, but this is a sore that was HUGE and I had been treating it with salt water and numbing agents for two weeks. My step daughter gets them from time to time and I always have black licorice on hand to help heal her. I don't know if licorice root tea would do the trick, never tried it. I don't know why it wouldn't - it's been shown licorice cures ulcers of the stomach. Witch of Endor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted April 8, 2005 Carol, Frequently, when I have had similar issues, I have found that I am under some stress & a high potency B complex vitamin works well -- as well as the homeopathic Mercurius Solubus -- actually, at the 1st sign of a canker sore I will take the Merc Sol (sometimes will use Merc Vivius ) & the canker sores never get " full - blown " Lesley (AZ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 8, 2005 Ouch. Carol, a zinc deficiency can cause recurrent canker sores as well as food allergies. To treat them, the amino acid Lysine is excellent as is Lactobacillus acidophilus. Rinsing with aloe vera juice is soothing.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 11, 2005 Thanks Michelle, the nice doctor told me it was a viral infection and that I should buy ambesol and freeze the areas for the next few days, lol...I ended up taking some antihistamines, and freezing the area. The swelling has gone down ( now I can be seen with my kids, lol). I'm going to be looking at my multivitamins, see where I am lacking, and hopefully get that fixed up. The weird thing is I have all these canker sores and today, they don't bother me a bit, it's very strange.. Now the other stuff you mentioned, where would I get that? A regular health food store?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 11, 2005 Hi Carol, Good to hear you're feeling better. A bad case of canker sores (not to be confused with cold sores - a herpes virus) can actually cause fever, swollen glands and the whole bit! No fun. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic. You'll find it in yogurt and it, along with other probiotics, are very helpful for many things. I encourage using a good quality blend (multiple " strains " ) as they have different functions and break down differently in the stomach. Look for them in the refrigeration of your local health food store. Some are shelf stable. If your canker sores are recurrent, you might have a food allergy. Also, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), found in some toothpastes, is thought to be a cause. In one trial, most recurrent canker sores were eliminated just by avoiding toothpaste containing SLS for three months. It's nasty stuff anyway and is better avoided. Happy Monday!

Guest guest Report post Posted March 8, 2006 The cause of canker soars is unclear, but their is a possible relationship to a lowered immune response. Food sensitivities are also suspected as well as nutritional deficiencies. Im wondering if she has any digestive concerns and if she ever suffers from constipation. You may want to try her on a restricted diet for allergens for two weeks. Remove a known allergen such as wheat from her diet for two weeks and then reintroduce it and see how she does. You will want to use herbs that support her immune system such as Echinacea. You can also try a mouth wash which consists of equal parts of red sage and chamomile. Make an infusion and have her gargle with it. Hope this helps.
