How To Cure Mouth Ulcers Permanently
Mouth ulcers are also known as canker sores, and appear as small, painful lesions inside
your mouth.
These are often found on the inside of the lip, on the gums or the tongue and can sting
when you try to eat.
Mouth ulcers are not contagious and are caused by nutritional deficiencies from a poor diet,
stress or malabsorption.
In today's video we will explore the best 10 natural remedies to cure mouth ulcers and
prevent them from returning.
1.
Remedy 1: Vitamin B12 The #1 cause of canker sores is a Vitamin
B12 deficiency.
Start taking a daily supplement of B12 in the form of methylcobalmin.
Be sure to check the product label and look for this ingredient.
This helps to normalise blood flow to the mouth, and stimulate fast healing of mouth
ulcers.
2.
Remedy 2: Reduce Refined Foods When you eat refined foods like flour, biscuits,
pastries, bread, cereal, white rice or sugar you deplete your B vitamins, which leads to
canker sores.
Cut these out and replace them with dark green vegetables like broccoli, kale and brussels
sprouts.
Whole vegetables are packed with folate, which can help to heal mouth sores.
3.
Remedy 3: Apple Cider Vinegar Many people have digestive problems which
prevents them from absorbing Vitamin B12 and other B vitamins.
Take 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before each meal.
This strengthens your stomach to absorb more B12 from your food to prevent mouth ulcers.
You can also take capsules if you wish.
4.
Remedy 4: Eat Shellfish Start eating shellfish soaked in vinegar at
least 3 times per week.
We recommend mussels, clams, cockles, shrimp, whelks, crab meat and oysters.
These are loaded with B vitamins and minerals that promote healing in the oral tissues of
your mouth.
5.
Remedy 5: Beef Liver Grass fed beef liver is a super food as it
is loaded with both heme iron and Vitamin B12.
This food fights off anaemia by helping your body to build strong, robust red blood cells.
This helps in bringing oxygen and nutrients to your mouth, to protect the delicate inner
skin, and heal mouth sores fast.
6.
Remedy 6: Salt Water Rinse Now that you understand that correcting the
diet is most important step, you can rinse your mouth with salt water 3-4 times per day.
This saline liquid helps to stimulate healing in the mouth and kills off harmful bacteria
that may aggravate your ulcers.
7.
Remedy 7: Remove Caffeine Caffeinated drinks make you urinate more which
flushes B vitamins out of your body.
Cut back on coffee, tea and soda drinks to help your body store more B vitamins, and
prevent future mouth ulcers and anaemia.
8.
Remedy 8: Chlorhexidine You can purchase an oral mouthwash from your
local pharmacy which contains chlorhexidine.
This medicated mouthwash helps to kill harmful bacteria in your mouth that may be aggravating
your canker sore.
It also speeds up the healing process when used once or twice per day for a week.
9.
Remedy 9: Lower Your Stress When you feel stressed for more than 24 hours,
your body starts burning through its Vitamin B12 reserves.
This puts a strain on your nervous system and circulatory system, and can cause mouth
ulcers.
Take long walks in nature of 30-45 minutes per day to calm down your adrenal hormones.
Fresh air and low stress exercise can really help.
10.
Remedy 10: Salmon Eat at least 3oz of salmon daily for 3-4 days.
This is loaded with Vitamin B12 to help heal the mouth ulcer at a faster rate.
Wild caught salmon is best, and is also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids that heal your internal
skin fast by lowering inflammation.
Mouth Ulcers vs Cold Sores
A mouth ulcer is also called a canker sore, and is not contagious.
It appears on the inside of the mouth such as the lip, tongue or gums.
A cold sore however is caused by a virus called herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
These usually appear when you are feeling stressed and your immune system is low.
Cold sores require higher amounts of Vitamin C to heal and put the virus into remission,
whereas canker sores require Vitamin B12.
Summary
As you can see mouth ulcers/canker sores are actually caused by a Vitamin B12 deficiency
and can be fixed by eating more nutrient dense foods.
Following some of the remedies today and taking a supplement of methylcobalamin is the best
way to both heal and prevent ulcers from forming in the future.
