Abstract

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis is the most common non-traumatic form of oral ulcerative disease chiefly affecting oral & oro pharyngeal mucosa.

In Ayurveda we find elaborate description of diseases of the oral cavity under the section of mukharogas.

Need of the study :-

Change in the life style has given birth too many numbers of diseases where exact cause of the disease is difficult to trace out .Similarly treatment lies on symptomatic analysis. Yoga & Ayurveda have originated in India & both sciences give importance to prevention of the disease as well as curative aspect .Predisposing factors for aphthous ulcers mainly comprise of psychological stress, hormonal influences, food sensitivity, and nutritional deficiency. Ayurveda mainly focuses on nidana parivarjana as first line of treatment. In this regard an attempt is made to discuss the role of, Triphala Kashaya Gandoosha & Sheetali pranayama in Sarvasara mukharogas w.s.r to recurrent aphthous ulcers.

A female patient aged 56 years approached with a complaint of recurrent sore throat since 5-6 months. Proper history suggested that earlier patient had suffered from typhoid fever & investigations revealed that the patient was anemic. As per ayurvedic parameters case was diagnosed as tridoshaja  mukhapaka. Ayurveda gives prime importance to removal of the cause. History revealed that there was agnimandya.  Initially five days patient was treated for  agnimandya  (to improve appetite) and later on advised for Gandoosh with triphala kashaya along with sheetali pranayama for 10 days. Improvement was seen with regard to intolerance to spicy, hot food, and general health of the patient.

Key words: - Mukhapaka , Recurrent Aphthous  Stomatitis, Triphala, Gandusha, Sheetali Pranayama.
