Tiger milk mushroom (Lignosus rhinocerus) oral gel used 3 times daily for 7 days reduced mouth-ulcer pain scores to 3.10 compared with 3.93 for placebo, while healing damaged tissue in 5.4 days versus 6.8 days in the placebo group. The mushroom gel healed ulcers faster than the steroid treatment group and caused no reported side effects in adults ages 20–50.
