Welcome to the second part of the textbook of Säläkya Tantra, subtitled "Mukha Roga Vijana', which distinguishes itself by offering a unique approach to understanding diseases in the seven areas of the oral cavity. In the ancient scriptures, such as the Mahabharata, a captivating anecdote reveals the profound nature of the human mouth. It tells the story of a young Srikrishna, who astounded his mother by revealing the intricate structures and activities of the entire universe with his wide-open mouth. This tale resonates with the teachings of Ayurveda, which emphasize the presence of various body tissues or dhitus within the different structures of the mouth.
The intricate distribution of vital elements underscores the significance of the mouth in the overall functioning of the human body. Diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases are rooted in the fundamental principles of Ayurveda, which highlight the interconnectedness of the body as a whole. It is crucial to recognize that dental and throat diseases should not be viewed in isolation but rather as integral parts of the overall body system.
