Did you know that Myrrh can be used as
as mouth rinse for Kanker sores and other dental discomforts? Sure can! My recipe is below:
Traditional Myrrh Mouth Rinse
Ingredients:
* 1/2 teaspoon powdered myrrh or a small pinch of finely crushed raw myrrh resin
* 1 cup warm water
Directions:
1. Stir the myrrh into warm water.
2. Let it sit for several minutes.
3. Swish gently around the mouth for 30–60 seconds.
4. Spit out. Do not swallow large amounts.
5. Repeat 2–3 times daily.
Another Simple Option
Place a tiny amount of finely powdered myrrh directly on the canker sore for a few minutes, then rinse.
Important Notes
* Myrrh may irritate some people’s mouths, so stop if it causes burning or worsening discomfort.
* Avoid using large amounts internally, especially if pregnant.
* If a mouth sore lasts more than 2 weeks, is unusually large, keeps recurring, or is accompanied by fever or other symptoms, it’s a good idea to see a dentist or healthcare professional.
Myrrh has a long history of use for oral health and may help soothe irritation, but research on canker sores specifically is limited. Saltwater rinses and baking soda rinses can also help reduce discomfort and promote healing. 🌿🤎
