Mouth Ulcers

How to use Triphaladi Churna for mouth ulcers?
1. Triphaladi churna powder can be mixed with ghee or coconut oil and applied locally over mouth ulcer.
Both ghee and coconut oils have a soothing nature and have a protective action on the oral mucosal layer.  They also act in a coolant way, locally. 

2. Triphaladi churna – 1 teaspoon can be mixed with 1 cup of water, keep it for one hour. Filter it. Use this water to rinse your mouth – 2 -3 times a day. This is the formula to create a cold infusion. 
Cold infusion will not have a hotness property (whereas, when we boil and prepare kashaya or herbal tea, they tend to carry some hotness properties). 
The coolness of the cold infusion aids in the ulcer healing option. 
Mouth gargling with infusion helps the medicinal principles of Triphala and Licorice to enter nooks and corners of the mouth, where ulcers might be present.

  • Dear Doctor,

    As part of my infertility treatment, I have started “Triphala Choornam”. Will it good for to remove any tube block?
    Kindly let me know

    Regards,

    Sherly

    • I am not aware of any research work done on Triphala choornam to remove a tube block.
      I really doubt whether it will be helpful in removing a tube block.

  • You can take, but This might further increase bowel movement. Hence it is better to consult your doctor.

  • I will write about dark circles sometime. But nose block / water retention has got nothing to do with dark circles.

  • Hi, Triphaladi churna has four ingredients - Triphala (AMla, Haritaki, Vibhitaki) + Yashtimadhu (Licorice). So, the product is correct in its list of ingredients.

    • What is diference between Triphala churnam and Triphaladi churnam ? and is this both are same function ?

      • Triphala churnam contains only the three ingredients of Triphala.
        Triphaladi Churnam contains Triphala plus Yashtimadhu (licorice)

        Whenever a medicine name as adi at the end (as in Triphaladi), it suggests towards additional ingredients along with the main ingredient. Adi in Sanskrit means - etc.

        • Better to stick with Triphala churna only, since you're already accustomed to it.

  • I used Triphaladi churna for the 3 days, is this harm ? instead of Triphala churna ? if continue with triphaladi churna any complication s become ? Please advice

    • No. There is no harm if you ues Triphaladi Choorna. It is quite a safe medicine. Just because you were accustomed to Triphala, I insisted in the same. Nothing to worry.

  • Thank you i have obesity whether this Triphala or triphaladi churnam to be take by Morning ir Night with Honey which is the best Jayakumar

  • Dear Doctor,
    Please aware us about the health benefits of Kollu(Horsegram) and how to use it.We appreciate your good service for the mankind.
    Thanks and best regards.
    Piya.

    • Hi, Thanks.
      I will cover all the grams, herbs, spices and all. Just keep coming back to this website :)

      • Also kindly can you cover millets like ragi, bajra, jowar, etc, what the ayurvedic texts say about them. And also pulses. Many ayurvedic and anceint texts say that moong dal is the best among all the dals.

  • I've read from many ayurvedic sites and I generally see Amalaki, Jambu Phala(Nerale Hannu), Dadima(Pomegranate) mentioned to have high qualities. Apart from these 3 fruits are there any other fruits which are highly recommended as per ayurveda??

    Thanks

    • jack fruit, dates, coconut, mango, ber fruit, Fig, and any such other fruits are mentioned in Ayurveda with its qualities. Many of those will be covered in 6th Chapter of Ashtanga Hrudaya , will come to that in about two weeks time.

  • is Triphala a useful treatment for low stomach acid? I know it is said to be a versatile rejuvenator and assists digestion, but can it help weak stomach acid?

    • Since Triphala helps with Gastritis (inflammation of stomach mucosa, right?), does it equally help with inflammation of the (small) intestines?
