To Stomatitis : A case Study JF - Ayurline: International Journal of Research in Indian Medicine JA - IJ-RIM VL - 5 IS - 03 SE - Case Report DO - UR - https://ayurline.in/index.php/ayurline/article/view/542 SP - AB - <p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong><em>Mukha</em> ( mouth or oral cavity) is one of the important parts of our body. The digestive system starts from <em>mukha</em> so it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene for our overall health status. <em>Mukhapaka</em> is a commonest disease of oral mucosa found in India as well as all over the world. <em>Mukhapaka </em>can be correlated with stomatitis or mouth ulcers as per modern science. Oral ulceration is encountered frequently in our daily practice. Stomatitis is curable &amp; not considered a threat to life but these ulcers have a significant negative impact on oral health, affecting the quality of life. It also affects normal activities like eating &amp; swallowing. Sometimes brushing &amp; talking also becomes painful. In <em>Ayurveda </em>&nbsp;various treatment modalities are described for <em>mukhapaka</em>. I have selected one of them to establish the efficacy of <em>Gandush</em> on <em>mukhapaka </em>in my present case study.</p> ER -
