ABSTRACT

Background and objectives: Mukhapaka is a condition defined by Vedanayukta vrana in the Mukha Pratyangas. The Lakshanas of Mukhapaka are comparable to the clinical condition known as "Aphthous Ulcer" in the contemporary healthcare system, which is likewise characterized by painful superficial ulcers in the moveable mucosa of the oral cavity with repeated bouts. The condition known as Mukhapaka. It is not life-threatening, but it can be devastating by severely disrupting the individual's lifestyle. Such a condition severely impairs the affected person's ability to produce quality work. To evaluate the efficiency of Darvi Rasakriya Pratisarana and Yashtimadhuka Rasakriya Pratisarana in Mukhapaka, the current research was carried out while taking into account effectiveness, cost, convenience in utilization, and routine application. Materials and Methods: Patients presenting with the classical features of Mukhapaka and above the age of 10 years irrespective of sex were selected and allotted in Group A and Group B with 20 patients in each. Group A was administered with Darvi Rasakriya and Group B with Yashtimadhuka Rasakriya for Pratisarana twice daily for 07 days. Results: In this study, both the groups had a highly significant outcome in all evaluation parameters and when the outcomes of the evaluation criteria were compared between the groups, there was no significant difference. As a result, it has been statistically proven that either group is successful in curing Mukhapaka. Conclusion: This study proved that both Darvi Rasakriya Pratisarana and Yashtimadhuka Rasakriya Pratisarana are highly significant in the management of Mukhapaka.
