Treatment of canker sores using salt
It’s ordinary salt. The only thing you need to do is dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of clean lukewarm water and use this solution to rinse your mouth for a few minutes. Then spit out the solution.
It works because salt can draw out and absorb the fluid from canker sores that contains the viruses causing them and dramatically accelerate the healing process. Repeat the procedure several times a day and within 24 hours the canker sores will be gone!
