What Is the Best Ayurvedic Treatment for Burning Mouth Syndrome? - #11744
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing a strange burning sensation in my mouth that won’t go away. It feels like my tongue and the roof of my mouth are irritated, almost as if I’ve eaten something too hot, but I haven’t. There’s no visible swelling or sores, but the discomfort is really frustrating. I looked it up, and it seems like I might have Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS). I don’t want to rely on painkillers or artificial treatments, so I’m looking for the best Burning Mouth Syndrome Ayurvedic treatment that can provide long-term relief. I read that ghee (clarified butter) can help soothe mouth irritation. Some people recommend swishing a spoonful of ghee in the mouth for a few minutes before swallowing. Has anyone tried this? Does it actually help with the burning sensation, and how often should it be done? Another remedy I came across is aloe vera juice. Some sources say drinking aloe vera juice can help cool the body and reduce inflammation in the mouth. But should it be applied directly to the tongue as well? Also, how long does it take to show results? I also heard that Triphala Churna is effective for balancing pitta dosha, which is said to be one of the causes of Burning Mouth Syndrome in Ayurveda. Should Triphala be taken with warm water, or is it better with honey? If anyone has used it for this condition, I’d love to know how well it worked. Some people suggest that coconut oil pulling can help soothe the burning sensation in the mouth. Has anyone tried this for BMS? How long should I swish the oil, and should it be done in the morning on an empty stomach? I also struggle with acidity, and I read that Burning Mouth Syndrome could be linked to acid reflux or excess heat in the body. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or cooling foods that can help reduce internal heat and prevent this condition? One more thing—are there any dietary restrictions I should follow while dealing with Burning Mouth Syndrome? Should I avoid spicy foods, citrus fruits, or anything else that might trigger it? If anyone has successfully treated Burning Mouth Syndrome with Ayurvedic remedies, please share what worked for you. I want to find a natural, long-term solution instead of just suppressing the symptoms.
