My husband often suffers from canker sores, but I found a treatment that really works for relieving the pain: licorice extract. He uses the liquid form (found at most health food stores, or online).

Baking powder is a cure all

Posted August 15, 2008

Apply some baking powder on the sore. It can be used in either powdered form or as a paste. This helps reduce the amount of bacteria in the mouth. Be sure to rinse your mouth several times a day with a mouthwash of mixing one tsp. baking soda in half cup of warm water.
