Salt water rinse is one of the simplest and most effective home remedies for mouth ulcers (mouth chala). It works by cleaning the affected area, reducing bacteria, and helping the ulcer heal faster.
How to prepare:
Take a glass of lukewarm water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix it well until the salt dissolves completely.
How to use:
Take a sip of this salt water and gently swish it around your mouth, especially near the ulcer. Hold it there for about 15–30 seconds, then spit it out. Do not swallow it.
How often to use:
Repeat this process 2–3 times a day, preferably after meals. Regular use helps keep the mouth clean and speeds up healing.
Benefits:
- Reduces bacteria and prevents infection
- Helps dry out the ulcer for faster healing
- Decreases swelling and inflammation
- Provides mild pain relief
Important tips:
- You may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation at first, which is normal
- Always use lukewarm water (not too hot) to avoid irritation
- Be gentle while rinsing to prevent further damage
Using Salt Water Rinse regularly is a natural, safe, and effective way to manage mouth ulcers at home.
