Home Remedies
I have a problem. Canker sores. I've had 3 this month, and they're driving me crazy. I've tried the Ora-whatever cream, but it just globs up and falls off. Nothing sticks to the inside of your mouth, or I would put a Band-Aid there. I've been looking up home remedies--you know, stuff you can do to avoid using prescription medication. Some home remedies you are probably familiar with are aloe vera on a sunburn, chewing mint for bad breath, drinking orange juice for a cold. I found one I had never heard of--using ear wax to seal up a canker sore. If you ask my husband, he would say I have enough free medication to heal myself of a lifetime of canker sores. I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm pretty sure no one else is going to let me try it out on them first either...

Vitamin B Complex - that's what my friend who is a dental assistant recommended me when I was getting perpetual ones last year. It seems to help - that and lowering my stress level. :o)
Ok, I just commented before I read your whole post. That is SOOOO gross! I also had heard of sticking tea bags on them for a while back when I would get them so badly from braces. And then there's good ol' salt water. :o)
Oh, my word. One almost as bad -- my dad said, when they used to have earaches as children, their parents would put warm pee in their ear! YUK!
Once again... I'm gagging! Maybe stop eating tomatoes??? :)
Oh, my. Where exactly did you hear this?
I have something here at home you can use. Let me know if you need it, I will bring it on Sunday!!!
Ohhh...these are great for me, too! I have had two in the past month!
