That burning mouth feeling definitely sounds tough. Yeah, BMS can be frustrating! Let’s dive into some Ayurvedic ways to handle it. First, about ghee: It’s like a classic soother in Ayurveda. Swishing a teaspoonful of warm, pure ghee in your mouth for about 5 minutes daily can really help calm that burning sensation. Do it ideally in the morning before meals or even before bedtime.
Aloe vera juice? Another chill option. You can drink it, say, 20ml diluted with water twice a day, preferably on an empty stomach. Applying a little directly on your tongue can also soothe irritation, just dab a cotton pad soaked in juice for a few mins. If you’re consistent, you might start seeing some calm within a week.
Now, Triphala Churna is ace for balancing that pitta, which seems to be acting up. Take a teaspoon with lukewarm water before sleeping. Honey is optional, maybe if you need it sweeter, but water usually does the trick. Takes a bit longer, it’s good to be patient with it!
Coconut oil pulling, how can we forget! Swishing a tablespoon for 10-15mins, first thing in the morning before brushing, helps cleanse your mouth and reduce inflammation. Spit it out (not in the sink tho) after swishing.
The thing about acidity is real! You might wanna explore herbs like Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry), Shatavari, or Guduchi which are fantastic at cooling the system. Foods? Cucumber, melon, and coconut water will be your buddies. Hydration is also huge!
Avoid spicy foods, acids like citrus fruits, caffeinated drinks—these can worsen that burning. Oh and cut down on smoking/alcohol if that’s in the picture.
It’s less about a quick fix, more a lifestyle tweak. Consistency and patience are key with Ayurveda, so stick with it. Keep an eye on overall diet and stress levels too! 🤞 Hope that helps, take care!
