The Ultimate Guide to Natural Canker Sore Treatment

Canker sores, also known as aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow lesions that can make eating, drinking, and even talking a painful experience. Most people encounter these uncomfortable sores at some point, often questioning the quickest way to heal them, why they hurt so much, and what causes them in the first place. If you've found yourself asking these questions, you're in the right place. We've crafted this comprehensive guide to give you all the answers, and more importantly, introduce you to StellaLife's VEGA Oral Care Peppermint Gel (link to: stellalife.com/pages/canker-sores-treatment) —a holistic approach to canker sore relief.

Fastest Way to Heal a Canker Sore

When it comes to healing a canker sore quickly, the method of treatment is crucial. While canker sores often heal on their own within 1-2 weeks, early treatments can provide immediate relief and speed up the healing process. Enter StellaLife's (link to: https://stellalife.com/) VEGA Oral Care Peppermint Gel. Made with natural ingredients, this gel is designed to reduce pain and inflammation, promote quicker healing, and improve your oral health. Simply apply a small amount directly to the canker sore after meals and before bed, and experience relief like never before. Avoid eating or drinking for 20 minutes after the application*.

Why Do Canker Sores Hurt?

Canker sores hurt due to the nerve endings that are exposed when the protective lining of the mouth is breached. The sores themselves are essentially breaks or tears in the mucous membrane inside the mouth. When you eat, drink, or even speak, you're irritating these exposed nerve endings, causing a sharp, stinging pain. Inflammatory mediators like histamine are also released at the site of the sore, making the area more sensitive and painful.

What Causes Canker Sores?

The precise cause of canker sores is still not entirely understood. However, several factors have been identified that may contribute to the formation of these painful ulcers:

● Stress or emotional upheaval
● Hormonal imbalances
● Food sensitivities, particularly to acidic or spicy foods
● Vitamin deficiencies
● Oral injuries from biting the cheek or inner lip
● Certain dental products containing sodium lauryl sulfate
