What Causes Mouth Ulcers, and How Can They Be Treated Naturally? - #14447
I frequently get painful mouth ulcers, and while they heal within a few days, I want to understand what causes them and how they can be treated effectively. Some people say that stress, acidic foods, and vitamin deficiencies contribute to mouth ulcers, but I am unsure whether certain medical conditions or lifestyle habits increase the risk. Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, often develop due to nutritional deficiencies (especially B12 and iron), food sensitivities, infections, or excessive consumption of spicy foods. Some home remedies include rinsing with salt water, applying honey, using clove oil, and taking zinc supplements to speed up healing. However, I want to know whether recurring ulcers indicate an underlying health issue like autoimmune disorders or stomach acidity. For those who have dealt with chronic mouth ulcers, what remedies worked best for reducing pain and preventing recurrence? Would love insights into the best natural and medical treatments for mouth ulcers.
