| Contraindication for teeth cleaning with dhantvan |
Patients with the following diseases should not clean teets with dhantvan but with finger:Adjirna (loss of appetite),Vamathu (vomiting),Svasa (dyspnoea),Kasa (cough),Djvara (fever),Ardita (facial paralysis),Trshna (thirst),Asyapaka (gingivitis),Hrdaya roga (heart diseases), netra roga (eye diseases), shiro roga (head disease) and karna roga (ear diseases). |
| Commentary Dhantvan has astringent qualities which increases Vata, thus helping to clean, detox, constrict and freshen mouth. However, during the the mentioned dieseases, when Vata is increased, cleaning teeth with dhantvan may increase Vata even more. That is why Baghbat lists these contraindications. |
