Popis: Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of turmeric, ashwagandha, and aloe vera in the management of oral lichen planus (OLP) lesion. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with histologically confirmed symptomatic OLP with gingival presentation were included in this comparative investigation. Three groups of participants were created: Group I consisted of turmeric; group II included ashwagandha; and group III included aloe vera. For 3 weeks in a row, they were told to apply topical treatments twice a day. The patients were recalled for 4 to evaluate the cessation of symptoms. Result: The participants in all the groups showed a considerable improvement in the burning lesion size and pain after 4 months of follow-up. Conclusion: For the treatment of OLP, turmeric, ashwagandha, and aloe vera can be useful as substitute topical medications, particularly for those who are not responsive to topical corticosteroids.
