Today, I will introduce several folk remedies used in Korea for a sore mouth. When experiencing a sore mouth, these folk remedies are commonly used to provide relief for mild symptoms. However, if you have severe mouth troubles or persistent symptoms, it's important to consult with a medical professional.
1. Saltwater Rinse
Rinsing your mouth with warm water mixed with salt can help alleviate inflammation and protect the gums.
2. Honey Application
Honey has antimicrobial properties that may help reduce infections in the mouth. Apply a small amount of honey to the inside of your mouth.
3. Chamomile Tea or Cold Water Rinse
Rinsing your mouth with chamomile tea (after boiling and cooling) or cold water can help soothe inflammation.
4. Sugar and Water Mixture
Mixing sugar and water and applying or rinsing your mouth with it can help heal mouth sores.
5. Ginger and Honey Mixture
Applying a mixture of ginger and honey to your mouth may offer antimicrobial and soothing effects.
6. Probiotic Consumption

These folk remedies may provide temporary relief for mild symptoms, but if your symptoms worsen or persist, it's important to consult with a medical professional for appropriate treatment. Additionally, exercise caution with these remedies if you have allergies or sensitivities.
