ACV for Canker Sores: Effective, Easy Home Remedy

First, I want to say that ACV worked like a charm on my recurrent mouth cankers, and using a toothpaste w/out SLS keeps most from recurring. Second, I want to address Ted in Mt. Horeb, Wisc and his Nay vote on ACV: I too had what Ted talks about, but it turned out to be a tumor, which eventually turned cancerous. He may want to keep an eye on that mouth sore.

i tried the apple cider vinegar thing and VWALLA!! worked like a flippin charm. no more pain and sores..i totally recommend this shizz.

I am so glad I found this site! I had a terrible canker sore on the side of my tongue that kept hitting my molars, could barely eat or talk it hurt. I put _____'s apple cider vinegar on a qtip and held it on the sore for about 1 minute and then repeated twice and then again before bed. I did this 2 days in a row and it is now gone. I felt immediate relief and I could see it healing right away - it only took 2 days to heal and it has taken over a week before. Thanks for this article!

I had a terrible canker sore and used so many over the counter medicines. I found this article and tried the vinegar. It DOES work.

i am 15yrs old and i have about 5 canker sores in my mouth.(a resonse to nay:i don't smoke.) after putting some ACV in my mouth it did help a little, but it hurt! thanks!!!

I've been suffering from a tough and very painful sore for over a week. It made me irritable because I couldn't eat, sleep, talk or even smile. I tried Hydrogen Peroxide, Zilactin-B (made it worst to me), wet tea bag to no avail. What worked? Holding my head to let a tablespoon of ACV sit on the sore for about 30 seconds, spit then repeat. The healing began immediately. It is amazing and I'm a happy person again!

I'm a big believer! I couldn't sleep one night because the pain of the canker sore was just too much! So...I got online and sure enough found another reason why apple cider vinegar is so awesome! I used a Q-tip to dab some of the ACV onto the sore spot and then went back to bed. By morning...VIOLA! The pain was gone. I could see that the sore was still there but that the healing process had already begun. AWESOME! I will be recommending this site to everyone! Thanks EARTHCLINIC!

I used the cider vinegar, and it worked! It tasted and burned really bad, but literally took 2 seconds to stop hurting! .....P.S. Don't listen to any nays, it works great! to answer that one dude's question, i don't smoke anything.

I tried ACV several times on the ulcers I get very often in my mouth and it never fails. It is amazing. However, I would like to know where I can find the raw organic ACV in the UK. Does anyone know?

A little different (and more appetizing) then apple cider vinegar, I've found that drinking warm apple cider completely takes away the pain from my canker sore for a good amount of time.

I have a canker on my tongue. It hurt soooo bad. I read this site to try the apple cider vinegar. I left for the store and came home and put the vinegar on a q-tip and put it on my sore. I can NOT believe that it made it feel better right away! The sore is still there (of course) but the pain has subsided considerably!!! AMAZING!

I have suffered from chronic canker sores in my mouth for years. I am now taking apple cider vinegar along with using a toothpaste without sodium lauryl sulphate in it and I am canker sore free!

Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with a 1/2 cup of warm water - swish around in your mouth for 30-60 seconds 2x a day and it will be gone quickly!

For the quickest relief of canker sores (don't know about cold sores), take a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar and put in your mouth. Then push it to the side of the sore, or hold your head so the liquid sits on the sore. Keep it in your mouth for as long as you can stand it. Then spit it out and repeat once. You will have relief within a few minutes of doing this, and your mouth will feel clean and tingly. Don't eat anything for about 30 minutes afterward because this may affect the healing pH balance that the vinegar created. The irritation will be gone within the hour, and the damaged tissue will have begun to heal (you can feel it with your tongue!
