Licorice can be the cure for canker sores
May 26, 2008
Washington – Recent studies have shown that licorice or yastimadhu plant extracts can offer a new treatment alternative for people who are distress from canker sores.
Researchers have recommended that canker sores, methodically known as recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU) can be cured by an extract in licorice or yastimadhu root herbal extract.
During the study, authors looked at the effects of an over-the-counter (OTC) medicated adhesive patch with extract from the licorice root for treatment of RAU against no treatment.
The findings showed that after seven days of treatment, ulcer size in the group who established the adhesive patch with licorice or yastimadhu extract was significantly lower, while ulcer size in the no-treatment group had increased 13 %.
Licorice or yastimadhu root extract was being used for treating gastric ulcers un-till the 1970s.
“When both parents have a history of canker sores, the likelihood of their children developing them can be as high as 90 percent,” he also added.
He also said “in addition to speeding healing of the canker sores, the adhesive patch helped to reduce pain after just three days of treatment.”
“Dentists can give patients the proper medication and treatment options to seal the lesions, which will prevent further infection,” said Dr. Eric Shapira
“Also, increasing vitamins and other herbs, such as Vitamin C and zinc, can help treat canker sores because they help to regenerate tissue cells,” Dr. Shapira added.
