Baking powder is rarely thought of as a health remedy, but it can have certain effects on the body that make it valuable to keep on hand. In the case of canker sores, baking powder is able to eliminate the inflammation and promote a completely clean environment in the mouth, devoid of bacteria that could make the canker sore any worse. Baking powder can be mixed with water to form a paste, and this paste can then be gently applied to the site of the canker sore. This remedy may not taste particularly good, but it is a tried and trusted treatment for canker sores.
