Leukoplakia Treatment In Ayurveda - #7342

My father, who is 60 years old, has recently been diagnosed with oral leukoplakia. It started with him noticing rough white patches on the inside of his cheek and tongue, which didn’t go away for months. Since he was a long-time smoker and occasionally chewed tobacco, the doctor warned us that leukoplakia can be a precancerous condition and needs immediate attention. While the doctor has advised some allopathic treatments, I’ve been researching natural alternatives and came across leukoplakia treatment in Ayurveda. From what I understand, Ayurveda focuses on detoxifying the body and reducing inflammation, which addresses the root cause of conditions like leukoplakia. Herbs like Khadira (Acacia catechu), Haritaki, Neem, and Turmeric are said to have powerful cleansing and anti-inflammatory effects. My biggest question is: has anyone tried leukoplakia treatment in Ayurveda? How effective was it in reducing the white patches and preventing recurrence? I’ve also read that Ayurvedic therapies like Gandusha (oil pulling) and Kavala (mouth gargling) using medicated oils are particularly helpful. Did anyone here find relief using these methods? Another concern I have is about dietary changes. I’ve read that leukoplakia treatment in Ayurveda often includes strict avoidance of spicy foods, tobacco, caffeine, and processed sugar. Is it absolutely necessary to follow such a restrictive diet to see results? My father has always been skeptical of herbal remedies, so I want to ensure I have the right information before convincing him to try it. How long does it usually take for Ayurveda to show noticeable improvements in leukoplakia? If anyone has successfully treated oral leukoplakia with Ayurveda, please share your journey. Did the patches disappear completely? Are there any specific Ayurvedic formulations, oils, or therapies that worked particularly well for you? We’re looking for a safe and natural solution, so hearing real experiences would be very reassuring.
