lavender + canker sores


i recently had a canker sore on the inside of my mouth, along the upper left gum. canker sores are no fun. they hurt when you eat + there really is no relief medicine for them. (a couple years ago, my dentist even told me that the over-the-counter creams aren't very effective. he said it is best to let the mouth heal without the creams.)

with this discomfort, i applied lavender essential oil on the outside of my mouth over the canker sore area (which ended up being along my laugh line). 

two applications + no more canker sore. the lavender really helps to boost your body's natural reaction to fight anomalies.

isn't it great how versatile lavender is?
