for a cold sore on a lips...put a slice of lemon and hold for as long as you can (at least 10 minutes) right before it comes up. for canker sores in mouth, rubbing tons of baking soda. Usually after a couple of treatments, it goes away. You will notice a difference after the first.

Canker Sores

suggested by D on Tuesday, January 16, 2007

When I get a sore, I apply peroxide to the sore with a q-tip until you see the "bubbles". It will sting...but immediately takes the pain out of the sore and it begins to heal. You can do this more than once depending on the severity of the sore. If it is just starting to come, once will do it. Make sure not to get an excessive amount in mouth as you do not want to swallow the peroxide. You can also try the peroxide/water rinse as mentioned above works well, but will take a little longer to take effect.

Canker Sore

suggested by Lynn on Thursday, January 11, 2007

I used to be scourged by canker sores -especially when under stress at work, around my menstrual cycle, or even if I accidentally bit the side of my mouth. These steps cured my sores: * stop sugary foods when sore appears * take Lysine amino acid supplements - I even put the tablet directly on my canker sore and allow to dissolve * rinse mouth with hydrogen peroxide and water OR salt and water. Also, I've been eating yogurt everyday for the past 10 years. My canker sores are extremely rare - once a year woudl be a lot.

Canker Sore

suggested by KK on Thursday, December 28, 2006

When you have a canker sore, everyone knows how painfull they can be. Try putting salt on the canker sore 5 times a day, and it will be gone by morning. I know this is the most painful thing putting salt on it, but wouldn't you rather go 1 min or pain VS. 1 week of pain?

Canker Sore and Cold Sore

This work for me: At any stage of the Cold Sore infection 1. A thorough but gentle cleaning of the area by using Witch Hazel or Tea Tree Oil (no need to pop the bubbles) 2. Apply any kind of anti-Biotic ointment on the area affected 3. Dab and apply an even layer of ?Baking soda powder? on the area directly 4. It might sting for a short while, you will feel the healing immediately 5. Alkaline is the trick to heal Herpes Simplex Virus infection. Brush your teeth regularly by using Baking Soda tooth paste (Arm& Hammer) and dabbing into Baking Soda powder, rinse off normally; this will reduce you Canker sore exposure 6.

Eat a cup of Yogurt every day and it will prevent them, but make sure it has the live cultures in it (most do). If you already have some canker sores start eating the yogurt daily and continue and they will go away and not come back. It could take a few weeks or more, but if you continue with the yougurt I promise the canker sores will go away and not return! I read this remedy in the "Doctors Book of Home Remedy's" several years ago (10 yrs or so) and tried it. Their book said to eat 4 oz of plain yogurt daily, but it doesnt matter. I eat a cup of any brand of any fruit flavor I like and it works. I had suffered from canker sores all my life until I tried this. If I miss eating the yougurt for a couple days or more I can start to feel the canker sores coming back.
