Do guava leaves and catechu heal mouth ulcers?
Preliminary studies show guava leaves and catechu possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compounds. However, Dr. Gagandeep Sodhi stresses that no standardised dose or conclusive clinical proof supports them as ulcer cures. Evidence-backed strategies, like correcting B12, iron, or folate deficiencies, remain more reliable in preventing painful oral lesions than unverified combinations.
