Herbal Medicated Chewing Gum Used To Treat Mouth Ulcer

Abstract

Mouth ulcers are a prevalent oral mucosal condition that significantly affects daily activities such as eating, drinking, and speaking. While various pharmaceutical treatments exist, they often have side effects or provide only temporary relief. Herbal formulations present a safer, more effective alternative with minimal adverse effects. This review focuses on the formulation and evaluation of herbal medicated chewing gum (HMCG) incorporating liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and guava leaves (Psidium guajava) for treating mouth ulcers. The medicinal properties of these herbs, their mechanism of action, different formulation techniques, and essential evaluation parameters are explored in detail to provide insight into their potential as a novel therapeutic option.
