A slightly more exotic but very tasty mouth sore remedy uses one of the most versatile and amazing of all fruits: the coconut. The anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties of coconut oil explain why it has healing qualities. Natural health experts suggest dabbing the area of the sore with a cotton swab dipped in coconut oil. Ideally, the oil should have a paste-like consistency, so it sticks to the sore. Some mix it with a little beeswax to give it this extra adhesive power.
