Mama's Mouth Ulcer Remedy

I finally tried this. It instantly soothed my painful sores on my tongue. However, it only lasted for a short time and I had to reapply. But it was worth it to get a little relief. I just dealt with the nasty taste, rather than drink water after and chance washing it off!

My mom used to make me use this when I got mouth ulcers as a kid and even though I only get them once a year as an adult, I still use it. It may sting a bit, but it dries them up in just a day or two and lessens the pain overall. A GREAT remedy!

As an immunocompromised mom, I'm always looking for tips for myself and my family to minimize the 'extra' chemicals in our environment. I've gotten ulcers since I was a kid, but now I get huge (dime-sized!) ones that can take 7-15 days to heal, even with 3-4x daily salt treatments or whiskey treatments. I mentioned this to my doc and he said it is safe, and I now have a jar stocked, ready for the next round of painful buggers! =)

I've used this before but I had forgotten about it. My son gets these now and then and really couldn't find anything at the drug store to help. Only things I have been able to find was a cream for the outside of the mouth. Thanks for posting. I wish I could find more of these remedies somewhere. The old fashioned homemade remedies my grandmom use to make always worked.

I had a small ulcer starting when I tagged this but my son had a really bad crack that became an ulcer just inside his lips so I thought I'd give it a whirl...worked like a dream! We put some on right before bed and he woke up this morning and was so excited because it was gone!!!!

Alum works. It is wonderful. When I was little I had canker sores. My mother used rock alum because that is what we had then. She wet it and rubbed it on the sore. It is very bitter, but it worked. I never rinsed it, but kept spitting in the sink till the bitter was gone. She didn't want me rinsing away what she had rubbed on the sore, but I didn't swallow it either. I don't know if they still sell rock alum, but I do know they sell a container of powdered alum. This works also and it works very well. Try it.

My fiance has been singing the praises of this recipe for years now! This is a tried and true recipe. He finds that some times he does need to repeat it the next day. And in the worst of cases, a third day. I am so glad that you posted it to share with the world! Thanks Mama!
