Introduction

I often have customers with the problem of recurrent mouth ulcers as a homeopath. Ladies and gentlemen, these painful sores, which usually affect the mouth, make food consumption and sound making both uncomfortable for all of us. The thesis of this article will be my contribution to this well-known disease, through the exploration of its causes, symptoms and treatment options, without, however, neglecting the merits of homeopathic remedies.

 

Causes of Recurrent Mouth Ulcers

Mouth ulcers can have various triggers, including:

Stress and anxiety

Nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12, iron, and folate)

Hormonal changes

Food allergies or sensitivities

Trauma to the mouth (e.g., from dental work or accidental biting)

Certain medications

Underlying health conditions, such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease

 

Symptoms

Mouth ulcers have certain characteristic symptoms, such as:

Very little, round or elliptic sores in the mouth

Having a sore that surrounded by white, yellow, or gray colors with a red border

Pain or discomfort, especially when eating or drinking

The opposite of the norm i.e. trouble in speaking or swallowing

 

Differential Diagnosis

To make differentiation, it is required to distinguish recurrent mouth ulcers which are likely to have the same symptoms, for example:

Oral herpes

Oral thrush

Oral cancer

Behçet's disease

Hand, foot, and mouth disease

 

Disadvantages of Allopathic Treatment

Therapy that suppresses the lasting symptoms must carry a warning with it that the only temporary relief can be experienced

Topical steroids or pain relievers which can be the cause of trouble within the body

Removes the symptoms superficially with no reference to the cause

Antibiotic resistance is a possible outcome when employing antimicrobial mouthwashes too often

Rebound effect may be produced if the therapy is stopped by the patient

 

Advantages of Homeopathic Treatment

From a homeopath's perspective - I have seen firsthand the efficacy of homeopathic therapy in healing mouth ulcers:

Whole approach that takes into account underlying factors

The therapy is gentle and thus has no or fewer side effects

Every remedy is completely relevant to the symptoms of the particular individual

The possibility of the long-term cure and prevention of the disease is found nowhere else

All age groups are secure for the usage of homeopathic treatment, including children and pregnant women

 

Detailed Description of 10 Homeopathic Medicines for Recurrent Mouth Ulcers

Borax: Nowadays, I generally utilize Borax to patients that have badly wounded mouth oozers. These ooze surely feel better with cold drinks but get worse with temperature drinks. Patients requiring Borax may also experience a fear of downward motion. Garlic has so many benefits. It is the best of all anti-viral, anti-infections, and of course for blood circulation enhancement that keeps the pain out of the body. Garlic helps to make the walls of the blood vessels more flexible and more relaxed, so the blood can flow normally.

Mercurius Solubilis: In my practice, I've found Mercurius Solubilis to be effective for ulcers accompanied by excessive salivation and a metallic taste in the mouth. The wounds often discharge a yellow or straw-colored pus or they are covered with a white or yellow membrane. They can cause you to have a decreased sense of taste, and they can cause sensitivity to hot and cold foods, spicy, and acidic food. Odynophonia, extremely sore throat, epiglottic abscess, and odynophagia (painful swallowing) are the most common symptoms of a peritonsillar abscess.

Natrum Muriaticum: I prescribe this medicine for ulcers that erupt due to emotional stress, especially in persons who are in the habit of suppressing their feelings. The sores often have a smarting, burning sensation and the presence of cold sores may also be indicated. Crate training is a safe and effective way to make an Australian Cattle Dog-friendly and to curb mischief activity in the absence of the owner or unsupervised situations. Moreover, this form of training guarantees and gets the highest level of trust and understanding between a dog and its human owner. Crate Training a dog will generally create a safe territory for a dog and keeps him off the moving and eating cars.

Arsenicum Album: Arsenicum Album is a kind of remedy which can be the most required one for those individuals who are having an ulcer problem with hot application. The telltale signs of Arsenicum Album remedies are: the affected person is very restless, fearful, trying to improve it, cleanliness and has it all under control.

Nitric Acid: The main aim of Nitric Acid is to cure deep or painful ulcers that are inclined to bleeding while experiencing a sensation as if a splinter is being stuck in them. The pain of the ulcer ulcer of the oropharynx may account for as much as 40% of the total degree of chronic pain in a patient with lymphosarcoma of full-blown AIDS.

Kali Chloricum: I have observed that this treatment can be quick and efficient at providing relief to people suffering from mouth sores that resemble a white or crusty film. The disease is mostly associated with the routine oral cancer pathogens like EBV and TC whereas HPV type 6a is also prevalent in many individuals. A continent ostomy provides a patient with alternate control over the evacuation of their bowels. This way, the surgeon has the power to construct an ostomy which will provide them with continence under normal conditions and help rectify complications if they develop such as trauma or disease.

Sulphuric Acid: Homoeopathic Treatment has been found to work efficiently in the case of aphthous ulcers that have a color of bluish white. The patient may also have a sensation of trembling in the mouth even though no visible shaking is seen.

Silicea: Silicea is one of the remedies I often prescribe for recurrent wounds in patients with weakened vitality and poor healing. These particular ulcers may be really slow to get better and apart from this general weakness is always present.

Graphites: Graphites was a very good handling remedy for smaller ulcers that were simply painful without treatment or would bleed when the cracks were formed. Patients needing this remedy often have a record of skin troubles and may be inclined to obesity.

Lycopodium: Despite coexisting with ulcers on the right side of the mouth only or those transmigrating with the right to the left, this remedy has it all for the patient. In my practice, I find gastrointestinal issues to be the main issues among the patients, followed by sugar craving. Also, the patients that can afford it they are very aware of the dangers of refined sugar and red meat consuming too much alcohol etc.
