Canker Care + works by forming a protective gel over the mouth sore. Menthol and clove oils numb the sore and provide pain relief. Lysine, Aloe Vera, Tea Tree Oil, Licorice, Propolis speed the healing process. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Licorice cuts healing time in half*, and another study shows that Propolis** is also effective.
Canker sores are shallow, painful sores on the inside of the lips, the inside of the cheeks, or on the gums. They begin as small, reddish swellings. Then they burst, and the ruptured sores are covered with a white or yellow membrane. The edges of the sores are still red, and look like a painful red halo. Without treatment, canker sores heal in 2 to 3 weeks. If canker sores persist or continue to return, a physician or dentist should be consulted to rule out other causes.
Over $146 million is spent each year by the estimated 60 million Americans who suffer from canker sores. They are most prevalent among teenagers and people in their twenties. Nobody knows for sure what causes canker sores, although stress, vitamin B12 or iron deficiencies, menstruation, hormonal changes, and food allergies are all suspected.
