10 Canker Sore Remedies You Should Know

Honey

Honey is widely known for its antibacterial properties, and it can also go a long way in helping against canker sores. When applied to canker sores, honey can help to reduce the pain and also it can cause the sore to heal faster. When choosing honey to use for canker sores, try as much as you can because most of the honey being packaged and sold have additives that may reduce the potency when used for healing purposes. Apply honey to the sore several times a day, and you should begin to notice improvements after a couple of days.[3]
