Yes. The cause of canker sores is basically unknown, but many
things such as stress seem to trigger them. Rinsing with TheraSalt
has been very effective with my patients in reducing the frequency
and severity of lesions.

Yes. Fever blisters are caused by viruses and are contagious,
while canker sores are not. These “herpes” lesions
tend to arise when the natural defenses of the body, the immune
system, is weakened. This happens during stress, injuries, etc.
Rinsing with TheraSalt has helped certain lesions in the mouth,
but many lesions are on the outside part of the lips. I have
had great success treating these lesions at the early stage…when
the tingling sensation begins. Placing ice on the lesion while
it still is in the tingling stage has in many instances kept
the lesion from ever forming. This, in my opinion, is the best
treatment for external oral herpes lesions. Many antiviral drugs
exist but should only be used in severe cases.

Yes. Diabetics are more susceptible to oral disease for many
reasons. Diabetics heal slower, are immune compromised and take
many medications that reduce the effectiveness of saliva.
Back to Top
Yes. Contrary to many rinses, including “natural” rinses
out there, TheraSalt has no ingredients that are known to have
a negative effect on pregnancy. As a matter of fact, one of the
reasons I developed TheraSalt was because I could not find a
natural mouthwash that did not have some herb in it that was
not recommended during pregnancy. TheraSalt is great for pregnant
woman who often suffer from bleeding and swollen gums.

No. TheraSalt was specifically designed without alcohol for many
reasons. Alcohol is a drying agent, and can cause sloughing of
tissue. The National Cancer Institute in conjunction with National
Center for Health statistics, California State Department of
Health, Emory University of Southern California and New Jersey
Department of Health released the results of a study in the Cancer
Research Journal, June 1, 1991. Their results document the line
between alcohol in mouth rinse and oral cancer. Chronic use of
alcohol and tobacco increases the risk of developing cancer of
the mouth. It has been reported that 76% to 80% of all oral cancers
appear to be induced by alcohol and tobacco. There is no good
reason to have alcohol in a mouthwash, in my opinion.

TheraSalt formulation is a Trade Secret, similar to Coca Cola.

No. TheraSalt can be used in a Therapeutic dosage, which is
two tablets per ounce of water, or as a maintenance dosage
at 1 tablet per 2 oz. of water. In most cases the maintenance
dosage
is
all that is necessary. Some severe cases may warrant the use
of 2 tablets rather than one for the first week, then switching
over to the maintenance dose.
Back to Top
Yes. TheraSalt tablets are a great adjunct to such devices
as the Water Pic. It is important to run a clean load of water
after using anything other than water in these devices to avoid
corrupting them. A mild dose such as 4 tablets per container
will suffice to aid in the efficacy of an oral irrigator.
