Cancer Care Gift Chemo Mouth Life Saver® Mints

Cancer-related mouth sores can form on the inside of the mouths or on the lips of patients. The sores look like burns and can hurt. Mouth sores can make it hard to eat, talk, swallow and breathe. Dry mouth can be a side effect from treatment, but hard candy can help. These simple candies are not only delicious, but peppermint has also been shown to help alleviate a number of common symptoms such as headaches, dry mouth, and nausea. The inspirational design for these Life Savers is based on the characters, Charlie and Caleb in the best-selling book, Caleb The Cancer-Fighting Bear Coloring and Activity Book. In the book, Charlie, newly diagnosed with cancer is inspired to become a survivor when he meets Caleb, a musical therapeutic bear.
