Coping with Canker Sores

Canker sores are your body´s way of warning you that your immune system is a bit over-taxed. It can also be a signal that you have a metabolic imbalance, are sensitive to a certain food (often times citrus fruit)or that you are just living under too much stress. One of the best things you can do is make sure you are taking a Vitamin B-complex supplement. Also, try applying tincture of propolis, available at health food stores. This is something honeybees produce (an almost cement-like substance) that helps them construct their hives, but it has remarkable antiseptic and healing properties.
