Glossitis is the inflammation of the tongue. The causes of glossitis vary from simple to complex. It can appear in several forms, such as acute glossitis, where the condition arises suddenly, or chronic glossitis, which persists over a longer period. Understanding the types of glossitis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Ayurvedic treatments for glossitis often include herbal remedies, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments aimed at reducing inflammation and promoting overall oral health.
