        abstract = {Geographic tongue is characterized by the loss of the filiform papillae, resulting in erythematous sections of the tongue. Typically located at the border between the dorsal and the lateral edges of the tongue, these erythematous patches are surrounded by well-defined white borders and resemble a map. 2Geographic tongue is present in 1–2.5% of the general population and is slightly more common in females. The conventional method of treatment includes corticosteroids, antihistamines, cyclosporine, vitamin A, zinc,but this condition can reoccur.Hence there is a need to develop an Ayurvedic protocol for the development of geographic tongue which is safe,cost effective and avoid the reoccurrence. Shodhana Karma is a procedure that helps to remove the root cause of a disease and prevents the reoccurrence of the disease by eliminating the aggravated Doshas in the body. Also helps in reducing the no. of lesions, size of the lesions and symptoms like burning sensation and bringing back the tongue into normalcy.},
