Lichen Planus spots on skin and inside my mouth - #21703

Ashwin

I’ve been noticing purple, flat spots on my wrists and ankles for the past 6 months, and some white, lacy patches with purple spots inside my mouth. My doctor said it’s lichen planus, which might be related to stress or an immune system issue. The spots on my skin are itchy, and the ones in my mouth make it uncomfortable to eat spicy food.

Best Ayurvedic Approach for Lichen Planus (Skin + Oral Lesions) I. Nidana Parivarjana (Avoid Causative Factors) Manage stress (major trigger). Avoid spicy, sour, fermented foods. Limit exposure to chemicals or allergens (like artificial perfumes, soaps). Stop tobacco, smoking, or alcohol if used. Avoid overuse of antibiotics or steroids (if applicable). II. Shodhana Chikitsa (Detox Therapy) (Only under supervision of an Ayurvedic physician) Raktamokshana (bloodletting) – local or general (for skin lesions). Virechana (Purgation therapy) – to balance Pitta and purify blood. Nasya – for stress and immune modulation. III. Shamana Chikitsa (Internal Medications) Medicine Name Dose Use Kaishor Guggulu 2 tabs twice daily Anti-inflammatory, blood purifier Gandhak Rasayan 2 tabs twice daily Skin rejuvenator, anti-itch Mahamanjishtadi Kwath 20 ml twice daily with water Blood purifier, detoxifies liver Arogyavardhini Vati 2 tabs twice daily Liver detox, supports immunity Yashtimadhu Churna (for oral) 1 tsp with honey, local application or gargle Soothes mucosa, heals lesions Khadirarishta 15-20 ml twice daily with water Skin purifier, reduces rashes IV. Local Treatment for Skin Lesions Jatyadi Taila or Nalpamaradi Taila application – for itching and discoloration. Triphala decoction wash for affected areas. V. Local Treatment for Oral Lesions Gargle with Licorice (Yashtimadhu) decoction or Triphala decoction. Apply paste of Honey + Mulethi churna on lesions. Coconut oil pulling early morning helps soothe oral mucosa. VI. Rasayana (Rejuvenation Therapy) To boost immunity and prevent recurrence: Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in morning Guduchi capsules or Amalaki Rasayana VII. Diet & Lifestyle Tips Favor cooling, light, non-spicy foods. Include green leafy vegetables, turmeric, amla, aloe vera juice. Avoid: curd at night, excess salt/spices, canned foods, non-veg (during flare-ups). Practice Yoga: Pranayama, Sheetali, Sheetkari – to calm Pitta and stress.
