Mouth ulcers can really be a annoying, especially when they hang around. You’re right; stress, acidic foods, vitamin deficiencies, and weak digestion often fire up the ulcer brigade. And yes, diet plays a role. Foods that are too spicy or salty, or even over-processed junk, could make things worse.
Now, about herbal solutions from Ayurveda – there’s some good stuff. You mentioned honey, turmeric, and aloe vera. Spot on! Honey has natural healing properties, apply some directly onto the ulcer. It might sting a bit, but it makes a barrier and eases the pain. Turmeric is another gem. Mix a pinch of turmeric with a little water, make a paste, dab it on your ulcers twice daily. Aloe vera gel, fresh from the plant, also soothing if you wanna try that. Just rub it on the sore spots a few times a day.
Triphala is another thing you could consider. It’s an ayurvedic super herb combo that helps with gut health and digestion – balancing that agni, you know? You could drink it as a tea: half a teaspoon with warm water before bed.
Avoiding acidic and sharp foods is wise too. Check if too much citrus or tomatoes are triggering stuff. And cutting down on stress goes a long way. Maybe some deep breathing or meditation could help, ya think?
To speed up healing, stay hydrated with cool, calming drinks. Coconut water is perfect! And boost your vitamin B12 and iron intake with balanced meals; leafy greens and nuts are excellent.
If things don’t get better, do consider seeing a doc, they might prescribe something stronger if needed. Between careful diet tweaks, herbal magic, and stress-management, hopefully those pesky ulcers won’t stand a chance. But definitely listen to your body and tweak these things to your unique needs. Hope you feel better soon!
