Canker Sore Remedies

Myrrh

Myrrh is one of the best canker sore remedies. Myrrh contains high amounts of tannin. Tannin, the common name for tannic acid, is a constituent of many plants and is an antiseptic with broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral action.

Myrrh is easy to apply, which is another reason it is a favorite among canker sore remedies. You can get it at your health food store in capsule form. Open a capsule and then apply the powder, dab a little directly on the sore.

Goldenseal

Another one of the better canker sore remedies is goldenseal. Make a strong tee of goldenseal root which is available at health food stores and use it as a mouthwash. Also, you can use a bit of water and make a paste and apply it directly.
