SURYADEV Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Does anyone know of any desi treatments for 'shalas' that occur in the mouth? The type that you feel when you eat Salt and Vinegar crisps. I think it may be called 'mouth ulcers' in English. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaikaara Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 take alum(fitkari) and move it in a glass of water in circular motion so that the water gets 'alumised' , like 5-8 rounds should be ok , to try and see how concentrate it is take a drop of the water and taste it ,it should taste sour and kind of aweful. gargle with this water and spit out specially making sure the water touches those shale. do this after u have had your food since your mouth will lose taste. it will have a wonderful healing effect. also, shale are the result of 'heat' in the stomach, make sure you 'cleanse' your stomach take a laxative in india we take 'triphala' available in tablet and powder form. go for the tablet since you might not be comfortable with the powder taste. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Cheers for that Where can I buy alum (fitkari) from? local desi grocer or specialist ayuvedic ved? Re: 'heat' in the stomach. that may explain the acid reflux or heartburn I sometimes get as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyhp32 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Instead of running around desi grocers trying to buy fitkari, why don't you just go to Boots and get some Bonjela cream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
