Are there any herbal remedies for canker sores?

BESIDES baking soda and water? That solution really hasn't been working for me.

Try dabbing a little bit of clove oil on it to help ease the pain. Tea tree oil is also effective in speeding up the healing process. I also read that eating yogurt with live lactobacillus cultures helps prevent outbreaks of canker sores. Hope this helps.

I've tried everything for canker sores. The best thing I've come up with is rinsing with Listerine. It burns REAL bad, but I've gotten rid of bad canker sore in less than a week by rinsing day and night.
