Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Mouth Ulcers Naturally

Mouth ulcers — those small but painful sores inside the mouth — can disturb your day. Eating, talking, even drinking becomes uncomfortable. At Sanjeevani Ayurveda, we view them not merely as isolated ulcers, but as a signal from your body that your inner balance has been disturbed.

This blog explains what mouth ulcers are, why they appear, how to soothe them, and—most importantly—how to prevent their recurrence.

🌿 What Are Mouth Ulcers?

Mouth ulcers (aphthous ulcers) are small, round or oval lesions with a white, yellow, or grey base and a red inflamed border. They usually appear on the inner cheeks, tongue, floor of the mouth, or soft palate.

• A burning or tingling sensation before the ulcer appears
• Pain, especially when eating or talking
• Sometimes swelling of the nearby mucosa or extra salivation

🔥 Why Do They Occur? — An Ayurvedic View

Ayurveda sees ulcers as a manifestation of Pitta Dosha imbalance combined with Ama (toxins) and disturbed digestion.

• Spicy, hot, fried, or acidic foods that aggravate Pitta
• Emotional stress, anger, or frustration
• Poor digestion and irregular eating habits
• Injury from biting, braces, or sharp teeth
• Nutritional deficiencies and lowered immunity
