Tea, Tannin & Canker sores:

If you’re afflicted by lip and mouth sores, you may be aware of products on the market intended to ameliorate your suffering. The active ingredient of some of these is tannin, which is much more readily (and gently) available in regular tea. Just brew up some tea and make sure each mouthful comes into contract with your sores before you swallow. You may be pleasantly surprised.

I am wondering what those supplements that can surely cure these sores are. I don't think so that this tea can cure sores. I will try to use this tips.

In most medicines for mouth sores, the active ingredient is tannin. You get tannin in tea, and I find that the tea-dose is more gentle, yet still effective.
