ShareOropharyngeal Candidiasis – Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Treatment
कफजेमधुरास्यत्वंकण्डूमत्पिच्छिलाव्रणा: ॥अ.हृ.उ. २१/६२॥
Candida is a fungus present in the mouth of up to 60% healthy people but infection is commonly associated with immunosuppression, use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, diabetes, use of corticosteroids, denture wear, haematinic deficiencies, etc.
In Ayurveda, this condition can be correlated to Mukhpaka. Mukh stands for oral cavity or mouth and paka refers to any inflammation or ulceration.
Causes of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis
In Ayurveda, this condition is caused due to the aggravation of Kapha dosha. Kapha dosha gets aggravated in the oral cavity and stomach leading to oral thrush or oropharyngeal candidiasis.
Symptoms of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis
Symptoms include:-
- Pain and tingling sensation around the mouth
- Burning while masticating the food
- Watering of the mouth
- Constipation
- Tastelessness
- Cracking in the ulcers of the mouth
