Mouth ulcers are small painful sores on inner cheeks, lips, or tongue, usually healing within two weeks. Recurrence points to acidity, deficiency, stress, or sharp teeth.

The Ayurvedic View of Mouth Ulcers
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda links recurrent mouth sores to aggravated Pitta with excess heat rising to the mouth, worsened by constipation and acidity.
Healing combines cooling diet, bowel regulation, B-complex-rich foods, stress relief, and soothing herbal gargles.
