Sore Mouth Remedy

#1 Post by ALFuser »

Hello,

I posted a while ago when part of my brace had begun to embed, and I was having BIG sore mouth issues! My dentist recommended wild garlic tincture, and I just wanted to recommend it as it helped massively! It's probably not to everyone's taste, and it will make your breath smell a bit, but just in case anyone's looking for a 'natural' remedy...... (-:

Thanks for sharing! Can you share where you get the wild garlic and explain how you do the tincture?

Hi Ellabelle,

I get the tincture from Self Health Enterprises (the tincture itself is made by Biopure), which are a European company. That's just the one my dentist recommended (I think mainly because it's organic), but I'm sure any good quality tincture would work? You can put 4 or 5 drops on your tongue and rub it on the effected area, but what I found works best for me is putting the drops on a teaspoon, then dabbing it on with my finger. It works well for sore throats too! Like I said, it does smell, but I've managed to use it at work and not knock anyone out! (-; It can be a bit pricey, but I've found it lasts a long time and does the trick.

Another good thing is making up a mouth wash of Aloe Vera juice......

Hope this helps!
