Canker sores are not a fun topic to discuss, however, they are even less fun to endure. Canker sores, also referred to as aphthous ulcers, are small, shallow sores that develop inside the mouth or at the base of the gums.<\/p>\n
According to the\u00a0Mayo Clinic, \u201cThe precise cause of canker sores remains unclear, though researchers suspect that a combination of factors contributes to outbreaks, even in the same person.\u201d <\/p>\n
Potential contributing factors include, but are not limited to: injury, foot sensitivities, stress, and lack of vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n
A recent study based in Thailand examined CBD as a potential treatment for canker sores, and the researchers\u2019 findings are promising. Below is more information about it via a news release from\u00a0NORML:<\/p>\n
Bangkok, Thailand:<\/strong>\u00a0The use of a topical agent containing trace levels of plant-derived CBD reduces ulcer size and promotes healing in subjects with recurrent aphthous ulcers (a\/k\/a canker sores), according to\u00a0clinical trial data\u00a0published in the journal\u00a0BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n A team of Thai researchers compared the use of a topical patch containing 0.1 percent CBD with a placebo in 100 healthy subjects with recurrent aphthous ulcers (RAU). <\/p>\n The CBD ointment was applied three times per day for seven days. Ulcer size was measured on days zero, two, five, and seven.<\/p>\n
