Stomatitis: Why Do I Keep Getting Painful Sores in My Mouth? - #14817

Anonymous

For the past few weeks, my mouth has been a complete disaster. It started with one tiny sore on my tongue, but then more appeared on the inside of my cheeks and even my gums. Eating anything spicy or acidic feels like torture, and even brushing my teeth burns. I looked it up and found out that this could be stomatitis, but I still don’t know why it keeps happening. I do get stressed a lot, and my sleep schedule is pretty bad. Could stress be triggering stomatitis? I also eat a lot of processed foods and drink tea multiple times a day. Could something in my diet be making my stomatitis worse? I tried using some over-the-counter gels, but they only give temporary relief. Since Ayurveda focuses on internal healing, are there natural remedies for stomatitis that actually work? Do certain foods or herbs help speed up the healing process? And is there anything I can do to stop it from coming back? If anyone has dealt with stomatitis using Ayurveda, what worked best for you? How long does it take to heal completely?

Your recurring stomatitis is likely due to excessive Pitta accumulation in the body, aggravated by stress, poor sleep, and a diet high in processed and acidic foods. Ayurveda sees mouth ulcers as a sign of internal heat and inflammation, often linked to weak digestion and excess acidity. Reduce Pitta-aggravating foods like spicy, sour, and fried items, and opt for cooling, hydrating foods such as coconut water, soaked raisins, ghee, and fresh fruits like ripe bananas. Triphala mouth rinse or applying honey mixed with Yashtimadhu (licorice) powder can help soothe and heal ulcers faster. Drinking a decoction of Yashtimadhu or coriander seeds can provide internal cooling. A daily Gandusha (oil pulling) with coconut oil or sesame oil can strengthen oral tissues and prevent recurrence. To prevent future outbreaks, focus on reducing stress through meditation, improving digestion with regular meal timings, and ensuring proper hydration. With consistent Ayurvedic care, noticeable relief can be seen within a few days, but long-term balance may take a few weeks.

Your stomatitis is likely due to excess Pitta dosha, aggravated by stress, poor sleep, and a diet rich in processed foods, tea, and acidic or spicy items. Ayurveda focuses on cooling and healing from within. To reduce Pitta, favor cooling, hydrating foods like coconut water, soaked raisins, ghee, and sweet fruits while avoiding spicy, sour, and fermented foods. Rinsing your mouth with a decoction of Triphala or Yashtimadhu (licorice) soothes inflammation, while applying a paste of honey and Yashtimadhu powder helps heal sores faster. Drinking coriander seed water or chewing mulethi can cool internal heat. Oil pulling (Gandusha) with coconut oil in the morning strengthens oral tissues and prevents recurrence. Managing stress through deep breathing, meditation, and proper sleep is crucial for long-term relief. With consistent care, ulcers typically improve within a few days, but long-term balance requires dietary and lifestyle corrections.
