Inflammation of the mouth is known as stomatitis. It can be caused by poor oral hygiene, burns from hot liquids or eating food, medicine, allergic reactions or infections. While the cause of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (thrush) is not known, nutritional deficiencies are believed to play an important role. Management of stomatitis depends on the cause responsible for the disease.

A decoction of Triphala (three fruits), Patha (Cissampelos pareira), Manuka (raisins) and Jai (Jasminum auriculatum) leaves along with honey, is used for mouthwash.
