Ayurveda describes various disorders affecting the oral cavity under the broad heading of Mukharoga.1 Among them, Mukapaka is a frequently encountered condition characterized by inflammation, ulceration, pain, burning sensation, and discoloration of the oral mucosa.2 The condition closely resembles stomatitis described in modern medicine.3 Mukapaka is primarily caused by vitiation of Pitta Doṣa with involvement of Rakta Dhatu, often associated with Kapha Dosha and Agnimandya.2 Improper dietary habits, faulty oral hygiene, stress, and seasonal variations play a significant role in its manifestation.4 Ayurveda emphasizes Nidana Parivarjana, shodhana, shamana, and local therapeutic measures such as Gandusha and Kavala in its management.5 The present article highlights the Ayurvedic understanding of Mukapaka and evaluates the role of classical formulations like Triphala Kwatha Gandusha, Triphala Guggulu, and Khadiradi Vaṭi in its management. The observed outcomes suggest that Ayurvedic intervention is effective in reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, and restoring oral health.
