It appears you’re dealing with persistent mouth ulcers. In Siddha-Ayurvedic perspectives, such ulcers often indicate an imbalance in the pitta dosha, which can lead to excess heat and irritation in the body’s tissues. Addressing this imbalance is key to providing relief.
First, dietary adjustments can greatly help in managing pitta. Avoid hot, spicy, or overly salty foods, as these can aggravate the condition. Instead, emphasize a diet that is cooling and soothing. Include foods like cucumber, melon, yogurt (avoid if dairy sensitive), and coconut water. Drink plenty of room-temperature water to stay hydrated and help cool the system.
Another useful approach involves incorporating specific herbs and formulations to target the root cause. Triphala churna, a well-known Ayurvedic remedy, can gently cleanse and balance the digestive tract. Take one teaspoon of Triphala mixed in warm water at night before bed. Yashtimadhu (licorice root) is another option, known for its healing properties; gargling with a decoction made from licorice root powder can soothe the ulcers.
To aid in the long-term management, practice a routine that supports oral health, such as oil pulling using a tablespoon of coconut oil daily. Swish the oil for about 15-20 minutes before spitting it out. This practice not only supports gum health but may help in eliminating toxins contributing to pitta imbalance.
If the condition persists despite these measures, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. Chronic ulcers might indicate an underlying condition that requires more specific attention. Immediate consultation is warrented if ulcers become increasingly painful, associated with other symptoms like fever or weight loss.
