Qin traditional Chinese medicine:

Although oral ulcer is a minor problem, it will bring great pain to our daily diet when it hurts.

Many people think that oral ulcers are caused by lack of vitamins or excessive internal heat, so they go to pharmacies to buy some medicines and vitamins for clearing away heat and purging fire, or think that eating more fruits is beneficial.

0 1, how to distinguish different types of oral ulcers?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that oral ulcer can be divided into real fire and virtual fire, and it is impossible to blindly clear away heat and purge fire. So how to identify different types of oral ulcers in clinic?

Real fire

Oral ulcers caused by excess fire are mostly manifested as local redness, swelling and heat pain, and the ulcer surface is yellow.

Chinese medicine believes that "the heart opens in the tongue" and "the spleen opens in the mouth". According to the location of oral ulcers, most of them are caused by excessive heart fire at the tip of the tongue, and most of them are caused by accumulated heat of the spleen and stomach in the oral gums.

deficiency fire

Oral ulcers caused by deficiency fire are mostly characterized by light local color and dull pain, and the surface of the ulcer is reddish or white. This kind of oral ulcer can't be treated by clearing heat and purging fire, otherwise it will be more serious.

This kind of oral ulcer is common in clinic:

Yin deficiency and excessive fire occur at the base of the tongue, with redness around it and slight burning pain, accompanied by dry mouth, dizziness, tinnitus, irritability and insomnia. The treatment of this kind of oral ulcer should focus on nourishing yin and reducing fire.

Spleen and stomach qi deficiency type, local polychromatic light, slightly mild pain, mostly accompanied by shortness of breath and fatigue. This kind of oral ulcer is mostly caused by Yang Qi's ascending deficiency, body surface depression or upper jiao, and the treatment should be mainly based on reinforcing the middle energizer.

Deficiency-cold type of spleen and stomach, few and scattered ulcers, local pallor, mild pain, loose stool or diarrhea, thick tongue coating with tooth marks. The treatment of this kind of oral ulcer should focus on warming the middle warmer and strengthening the spleen.
