We all have those days when we have those painful little sores or blisters spread wide across our oral cavity, enabling us little to eat anything solid. Even the liquid intake hurts if a drop brushes across the open sores. Being inside the mouth, these sores have little scope to be treated or covered with an appropriate ointment without being really sure about them - not only the side effects but whether the ointment will stay put across the blisters or not. And in such a case, it is only right that we look for healing within and not a platonic option fighting just the open blisters.

Treatment Of Oral Blisters: Heal From Within With Ayurveda

Ayurveda has always emphasised on rejuvenating the body by fighting the root cause of symptoms instead of making do healing option as available in numerous other treatment alternatives. The healing from within comes from a concept where insistence is more on to understand the problem before dealing with it. As for oral blisters, It is important to understand that the root cause of these sores is an unhealthy stomach, scarce dehydration and a deficiency of Vitamin B - specifically Vit. B12. Though it is quite painful to have experienced such sores, it is important that we give our body what it needs - Ayurveda tells us how!

Keep Your Body Hydrated While Balancing The Pitta Dosha

Pitta Dosha speaks about the imbalance of heat and metabolic elements in our body and to combat the same, it’s important to keep your body hydrated with plenty of fluids. We recommend you to start your day with herbal tea soaked with basil and coriander to have a tasteful morning.

Eat Plenty of Fresh Fruits To Overcome The Deficiency

Diets that include fresh fruits, and green vegetables tend to take care of any sort of nutritional deficiency you may have had in your body. Often seasonal fruits also include elements that can be used to deal with the weather of local terrains and helps boost the immunity in addition to the fulfilling and nutritional requisites of the body.

Include Honey, Aloe Vera and Turmeric in Your Diet

Natural boon like Honey, Aloe Vera and Turmeric work as an anti-inflammatory agent which tends to fight the bacterial and fungal agents that may be present in your buccal cavity. Though plants like neem are much powerful agents for the same but the overpowering taste is the reason why these mild elements mentioned above work so much better.

Soothe Your Blisters With Coconut Oil

The bonus point of the article is to know how to soothe and help the sores heal faster and of course, mentioning an edible agent which is both moisturising and anti-bacterial is a no-brainer to guess. Ayurveda has mentioned the use of coconut oil as an incredible healer for wounds as the fatty acids present in the body penetrate the derma layers to heal it from within. Of course, popping tablets after tablets is way toxic for your body than having an easy way out with Ayurveda. We hope you stay tuned for more such incredible tips.
