Cracked Tongue Treatment - #7079

Ah, cracked tongue, that sounds quite uncomfortable. Sounds like this might be a Pitta imbalance you're dealing with. Given your high body heat, dry skin, and those frequent mouth ulcers, these clues point towards an excess of the fiery Pitta dosha. It's like your body is calling out for some cooling TLC. Yes, the things you mentioned like eating spicy and acidic foods, and too much tea could be cranking up that internal heat. Cooling foods gets a thumbs-up here! Try introducing more fruits like apples, melons, or cucumbers to your meals. Those can be quite soothing and hydrating. And about ghee and turmeric... absolutely! Ghee's nourishing nature can actually help heal the tongue when taken internally. You might mix a teaspoon of ghee with warm milk at bedtime. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory property helps too, but more so in your food rather than topically in this case. Hydration is important, but sometimes water alone isn't enough for that kind of deep hydration issue. Consider herbal teas like chamomile or fennel, which can be quite soothing and balancing for Pitta. Now digestion, yes, it’s critical. The bloating you feel might be tied to poor Agni (digestive fire) which then imbalance the doshas further, affecting the tongue. Maybe try Triphala. This ayurvedic staple might boost your digestion, just take it before bed with warm water. In terms of how long Ayurveda takes, well, it's a journey. Sometimes weeks, sometimes months depending on how deep the imbalance goes. It's less about quick fixes and more about finding that equilibrium within your unique constitution. Be patient, but consistent; that's key. And, lifestyle changes! Think about reducing stress, practicing yoga, and perhaps cooling pranayama like Sheetali breathing too. Slowly, these shifts can really play a big difference. Hope these ideas give you some pathways towards healing that cracked tongue of yours!
