What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Classification1
The text says sixty-six kinds of mouth diseases have been described.
Treatment principle2
Mouth diseases from pitta and blood are treated with purgation and bloodletting; those from vata and kapha with emesis, smoking, errhines, holding mouthfuls and rubbing applications.
Because mouth diseases arise mostly from vata and kapha, vata- and kapha-removing drugs are to be used always, together with nasya, gargles, ointments, rubbing, fumigation and mouthfuls.
Diet1
The patient is given a light meal once a day with green gram soup, ghee, salt, khala, soups with pungent drugs and astringent and bitter vegetables.
Prognosis1
Nineteen mouth diseases are to be abandoned as incurable: three of the lips (from the three doshas, flesh and blood), two of the tooth roots, three of the teeth, alasa of the tongue, arbuda of the palate, eight of the throat and vichari of the whole mouth.
Anatomy1
Seven sites of disease are named in the mouth: the two lips, teeth, tongue, roots of the teeth, throat and palate, and dosha-born disorders arise in all of them.
