A canker sore is a small, painful ulcer or sore in the mouth. A canker sore is usually red with sometimes a white coating. Canker sores occur inside the mouth, inside the checks, on the inside part of the lips, alongside the gum base line and under the tongue. Canker sores do not seem to be caused by any type of bacteria or virus and are therefore not contagious. The sores may be triggered by certain foods.

How is a canker sore contracted / prevented?

It is still not known exactly what triggers the occurrence of canker sores in the first place. Although scientists have found that possible triggers may include emotional stress, on-going stressful situations, nutritional deficiencies including the lack of Vitamin B12, iron, folic acid, injury in the mouth due to hard, crunchy foods or allergies to certain foods including, hot, spicy foods, tomatoes, strawberries, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, nuts etc. 

If you suffer from frequent canker sore re-occurrences, you should see your doctor. You may want to have blood and allergy tests performed to help determine if the frequent canker sore outbreaks may be caused by nutritional deficiencies? By avoiding the foods that trigger your canker sores, can help reduce the frequency of canker sore outbreaks. Some women have noticed, that they seem to be more susceptible to canker sores during a specific phase of their menstrual cycle. Hormonal imbalance may be another cause for frequent canker sore outbreaks.

To help prevent getting canker sores, stay away from hard, crunchy foods that can cause injury inside the mouth, avoid the foods that you think may trigger a canker sore. Brushing your teeth after meals with a soft tooth brush and using a toothpaste without SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), such as the Propolis Tooth Gel available at: http://www.manukahoneyusa.com/SecureShopping.htm, and flossing your teeth daily, will help keep the mouth free of foods that may trigger canker sores.

What is a fever blister / cold sore?

A fever blister is a small blister that appears outside the mouth, typically on the lips or lip corners. A fever blister is caused by herpes simplex, or herpes labialis.

How is a fever blister contracted / prevented?

Emotional stress, on-going stressful situations, anxieties (such as having to give a speech in 2 days), may all be reasons to weaken the body's defense system, triggering the outbreak of herpes causing a fever blister / cold sore. Exposure to sunlight can cause a fever blister outbreak, hormonal imbalance caused by the menstrual cycle or common occurence in the family - hereditary.

When you are experiencing an outbreak of fever blisters, be careful not to spread the herpes virus to other parts of your body such as rubbing your eyes or genitals. In order to help prevent spreading the virus to others, refrain from kissing and wash your hands frequently. Every time you touch the fever blister, and then touch something else such as a door handle, or touch someone else, you could help spread the disease without being aware of it.

To help prevent the re-occurrence of fever blisters, try to manage the stress in your life, protect your lips with sun-block, eliminate trigger foods such as chocolate, nuts, seeds, gelatin or any other foods that you observed that may cause fever blisters.

Natural Treatment for a canker sore, fever blister, also called cold sore?

Instead of using over the counter or prescribed ointments such as benzocaine, anti-inflammatory steroids, mouth rinses and gels, you may want to consider using all natural Manuka Honey.

Some people feel an almost instant pain relief, only seconds after applying manuka honey to the canker sore or fever blister.

How is Manuka Honey applied to a Canker Sore or Fever Blister?
Apply Manuka Honey to a canker sore or fever blister 3-4 times daily.

Customer Testimony: How Manuka Honey helped sooth and heal Fever Blister in just 1 week...

"Hello Elaine, I hardly ever get fever blisters. If I do get one, it is usually because I just work too much and don't get enough sleep. Usually the fever blister stays for up to two weeks. It looks ugly and is soooo embarassing! I was looking for a natural remedy for fever blisters, that is when I found your website. I bought some manuka honey for general well-being and then also applied it to my fever blister. After just 1 week, my blister was completely healed. Thank you for offering an all natural product! Keep up the good work...
