What is the reason for mouth ulcers, and how can they be prevented or treated? - #14760

Anonymous

I’ve been getting painful mouth ulcers for the past few weeks, and I don’t know why they keep occurring. I’ve tried over-the-counter gels, but they don’t seem to fully help. What exactly causes mouth ulcers, and why do some people get them more frequently than others? I know stress, diet, and minor injuries can lead to them—are there other common triggers, like certain foods, medications, or hormonal changes? I also want to know how to prevent mouth ulcers from recurring. Are there lifestyle changes, such as avoiding acidic foods or improving oral hygiene, that can help reduce the frequency of these painful sores? What natural remedies or Ayurvedic treatments can promote healing and prevent new ulcers from forming? If anyone has had frequent mouth ulcers, what worked best for you in terms of prevention and treatment? Did changing your diet or using specific remedies help manage the pain and reduce their occurrence?

Mouth ulcers, also known as canker sores, are often triggered by factors such as stress, hormonal changes, a weak immune system, vitamin deficiencies (especially B12, folate, and iron), or food sensitivities. Certain acidic or spicy foods, as well as mechanical injury to the mouth from braces or biting, can also provoke them. To prevent recurrent ulcers, maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding irritating foods, and managing stress are helpful. Ayurvedic remedies like turmeric, aloe vera, and triphala mouth rinses can aid in healing and reducing inflammation. Additionally, strengthening the digestive fire (Agni) with warm water, a balanced diet, and herbs like ashwagandha may support overall oral health and reduce recurrence.
