Abstract

A recurrent mouth ulcer is known as 'Mukhpak' or 'SarvasarRog.' We can relate it to Aphthous ulcer based on its signs and symptoms. Stomatitis is a common ailment that affects 60% of the population. Even while it affects people of all ages, it is more common in women and individuals who eat spicy or non-vegetarian foods frequently. This mouth ulcer is a typical feature of Paitik people, according to Ayurveda. Food that is exceedingly pungent and spicy is consumed in excess. Chewing of chemical agents such as Tobacco-Gutakha, Insomnia, Vitamin deficiencies, and many life-threatening diseases such as Malignancy, Submucosal fibrosis, Skin disease, and disruptions in the G.I. tract such as Constipation can all cause it. Several mouth paints and mouth gargles are used in modern medicine to treat Aphthous ulcers as an adjunct to steroids, the B'Complex group of medications, and other treatments such as injectable placentrex (submusoal), all of which have their own set of side effects. As a result, an attempt was made to gather all medications specified in Ayurveda for the treatment of this ailment.
