MOUTH ULCERS Meaning

Painful sores in the mouth that usually appear on the inside of the cheek or the tongue, lips or the gums are termed as mouth ulcers. Mouth ulcers can be quite painful while eating, drinking or brushing teeth. Moth ulcers occur occasionally and are usually harmless and clear up on their own. Mouth ulcers lasting for 3 weeks or more may need medical attention. Up to 1 in 5 people get recurrent mouth ulcers.¹

The inflamed conditions of the mouth in Ayurveda are classified under Mukha paaka. Improper diet and deeds causes imbalance of the pitta which in turn aggravates the symptoms associated with mouth ulcers. ²
