Abstract

This case study discusses the management of a 70-year-old female patient who has been experiencing complaints of Asya Daha (burning sensation in the mouth) and Jiwha Daha (burning sensation on the tongue) for the past four years. Over the last two years, she has been unable to consume spicy and salty foods due to the exacerbation of her symptoms. Additionally, she has experienced Asayavairasy (loss of taste) and Jiwha Upalepa (coating on the tongue) for the past year. The patient has been suffering from these chronic symptoms, which significantly impacted her quality of life. After undergoing various treatments, she found relief using Triphala Kwath Gandusha and Saptachadadi Kwath Gandusha. These Ayurvedic mouth rinses helped alleviate the symptoms, and improved her ability to consume previously irritating foods. The case emphasizes the therapeutic potential of Gandusha in managing Mukhapaka.
