Erosive Lichen Planus can be challenging, but Ayurveda offers approaches that may help manage the symptoms. The condition is often related to Pitta imbalance due to its inflammatory nature. For this, you might focus on cooling and soothing the body. Start with dietary changes: reduce or eliminate spicy, sour, and overly salty foods, favoring a diet rich in bitter and astringent tastes; think green leafy vegetables and whole grains. Avoiding hot, fried, and processed foods is critical too, and you might want to incorporate turmeric and sandalwood as they have cooling properties.
Since the liver needs support, given the fatty liver condition, incorporate herbs like guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), known for their liver-protective benefits. Drinking warm water throughout the day with a teaspoon of fresh aloe vera juice can be soothing for the gut and oral cavity, aiding in healing ulcers.
Regular oil pulling with coconut oil can also help in mild cases - swish one tablespoon of oil in your mouth for about 15 minutes daily and spit it out.
High cholesterol signals Kapha imbalance, and you might benefit from regular physical activity which aligns with your current health status. Use gentle exercise, not strenuous. Fresh ginger tea can assist with digestion and lipid metabolism.
Always make sure to consult with healthcare professionals before starting any new regimen, especially since your conditions are somewhat interconnected. If symptoms worsen or if you experience severe pain or swelling, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider promptly.
