I haven't seen a ENT no pain swallowing just feels like a throat ulcer or some unhealed cuts in the throat do you know of any herbs that could potentially help with the healing
It’s 1/2 tsp of Triphala churna mix with lukewarm water and then gargle
Yeah you can buy from Amazon
Just 1/4 th cup glass is enough just you need to gargle and then spit it

Thank you the triphala chuna do you recommend that I take that in powder form and also how big of the cup should I gargle with it I was going to buy it from Amazon didn't know if you know another place that I can purchase it from
You can start on
Mulethi kwath- 1 tsp in 400 mL water boil upto 100 mL strain it drink twice daily on empty stomach
Mix 1/2 of Triphala churna in warm water and gargle
Avoid spicy sour processed foods
If still the ulcer won’t heal I would suggest you to consult ENT/ gastroenterologist for further evaluation

Food to Live Organic Triphala Powder, 8 Ounces – Natural Detox, Blend from Fruits Amalaki, Haritaki and Bibhitaki, Non-GMO, Perfect for Tea and Smoothies, Vegan, Kosher, Bulk this is what I saw on Amazon it had other herbs in it not sure if I need to use triphala churna by itself or would the other herbs irritate my sensitive throat
Triphala contains Amlaki vibhitaki and haritaki
You will gargle so it will not irritate

Thanks you been very helpful I have a appointment with the ENT next Wednesday but I did want to ask it may also be tonsillitis bacterial or viral what kind of herbs did you recommend for that and also how many times a day do you advise to gargle with the triphala
You’re welcome, I am glad to help you through this..currently you continue with muleti and Triphala (gargle) , twice daily, once it gets confirmed with ENT surgeon we can start medicines for that also
Gargle with Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp boiled in a glass of water and strained
Avoid fried and cold foods, also citrus fruits.
Take turmeric powder 1/2tsp. boil in a cup of milk and take twice daily
Yastimadhu churan 1/2tsp thrice daily with honey.

It sounds like you're dealing with some persistent discomfort in your throat area. Silent reflux can indeed affect throat tissues due to the stomach acids irritation. While you’ve been taking some helpful supplements like slippery elm and aloe vera, let’s delve into some Ayurvedic suggestions that may help expedite the healing.
Firstly, ensure you're following a diet that pacifies Pitta dosha, which is associated with heat and inflammation. Avoid spicy, acidic, and fried foods. Incorporate more cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and mung dal (green gram) into your diet. Boiled and soft foods can be easier on the throat, take lukewarm water rather than anything too hot or cold.
Ayurvedic herbs like Yashtimadhu (licorice root) might be beneficial for its soothing properties on the throat. You might prepare a decoction by boiling a small piece in water, letting it cool and drink it twice a day. Keep your digestive fire in check by consuming ginger tea in moderation, which helps Agni without aggravating Pitta.
Your lifestyle matters too. Avoid lying down soon after eating; instead, wait at least two hours. Small changes like elevating the head of your bed may lessen night-time symptoms. Stress-reduction practices, like gentle yoga or meditation, harmonize the mind and body and might indirectly impact your condition.
Continued discomfort should not be ignored, so consider follow-ups with a healthcare professional, perhaps an ENT specialist, to rule out conditions needing more urgent care. While Ayurveda works holistically over time, balancing without overriding any emergency responses is crucial.
Healing can take time, more than a month in several cases, so patience along with supportive treatments can be part of the journey. Always check with a practitioner before starting new herbs or significantly altering regimes, especially with ongoing treatments like PPIs.
