Home Remedies for Mouth Ulcers

1. Licorice Root

Mouth ulcers can be cured with licorice root, as this herb works as a demulcent and forms a protective coating on the mucous membranes that resists irritation and soothes open lesions. It also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

• Soak one tablespoon of crushed licorice root in two cups of water for two to three hours.
• Use it as a mouth rinse several times a day.

You can also take deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) extract available as chewable tablets or gargle with DGL dissolved in warm water.

2. Coconut Milk 

Coconut milk is highly beneficial in soothing the pain of mouth ulcers.

Coconut Milk for mouth ulcers

• Mix a little honey in one tablespoon of coconut milk. Massage the affected area with it. Do this three or four times a day.
• Alternatively, you can simply rinse your mouth with fresh coconut milk or massage coconut oil on the affected area
