Home Treatment for Mouth Ulcer

Honey

Unfiltered or unpasteurized honey is high in many wound-healing enzymes. They can speed up the healing time of sores in your mouth. All you need to do is to dap 1 or 2 drops of honey to your finger and rub it on the ulcer. Do not lick off the honey if you apply it to your lip. Do this around 4 times during the day. When purchasing, make sure to choose a product with “unfiltered” or “raw” labels. Avoid regular honey as most of the antibacterial properties and antioxidants are removed during the healing process.
