Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Quince (Cydonia oblonga) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in the Middle East and parts of Asia, for addressing oral health issues, including canker sores (aphthous ulcers). Traditional Persian and Unani medicine have described the use of quince seeds and mucilage as soothing agents for the mucous membranes of the mouth. The seeds are often soaked in water to produce a mucilaginous gel, which is then applied topically to ulcers or sore spots in the mouth. This soothing gel is believed to provide a protective barrier and may help alleviate irritation and promote healing, according to traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys.

However, the scientific evidence supporting the use of quince for canker sores is limited. There are very few clinical studies directly investigating quince or its extracts for the treatment of aphthous ulcers. Some laboratory studies highlight the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of quince extracts, which could theoretically be beneficial for wound healing and reducing oral inflammation. Nonetheless, these findings have not been robustly translated into clinical trials specific to canker sores. As such, its use for this purpose is primarily based on traditional practice rather than modern scientific validation.
