To resolve mouth ulcers, just a taste of Chinese medicine!

Canker sores are not a serious ailment, but they are also annoying. Once you have an attack, you can't eat this, you can't eat that, and it hurts when the fire burns, and it hurts even to drink saliva.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if there is something inside, it must be outside!


This canker sore, it's a heat build-up in the body. Where's the heat? The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and five organs may generate heat, but the most important ones are the heart and spleen. We can peek a thing or two from the location of the canker sores. As the name suggests, canker sores appear in the oral cavity, mainly on the tongue and lips, while the heart opens to the tongue and the spleen to the mouth, so it is most closely related to the heart and spleen.

For example, when many people are nervous and anxious, they will have ulcers in their mouths, which is a burning heart; Or in recent times, I have been staying up late and working overtime, plus eating hot pot and eating barbecue, these fatty and sweet foods are piled up in the stomach and intestines, which are not easy to digest, and after a long time, they will also turn into heat and fire.

The heart and spleen are hot, to put it bluntly, there is a fire in the chest, according to the principle of fire inflammation, this fire has to go up, go to the mouth of the place, stop, the fire is stuffy in it and wants to send it out, there must be an outlet, so the mouth ulcer is like a volcanic eruption, gushing in. From this point of view, canker sores can also be seen as a self-help behavior of the body, where there is heat in the body and cannot circulate, actively creating a way to vent heat and let the heat come out.

There is a friend who is often "favored" by mouth ulcers, sometimes even a dozen at a time, on the lips, on the tongue, in the cheeks, there are ulcers, the big ones are like mung beans, the small ones are like sesame seeds, when eating, a little force, the mouth hurts badly, so every time it is time to eat, he can only sit in the position, watching others enjoy the food there, and from time to time he has to grin, miserable.

So is there a medicine that can quickly resolve canker sores?


Of course there is, it is the Chinese medicine Pu Huang!

Pu Huang, the ancient medical book said that it can eliminate the swelling of the tongue. According to legend, when Song Duzong of the Southern Song Dynasty was enjoying the flowers in a spring, because of his greed for a while, he suddenly had a swollen tongue on the same night, and he could neither speak nor eat. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so anxious that they hurriedly summoned the imperial physician to study the diagnosis and treatment methods. At this time, an imperial physician surnamed Cai proposed to use Pu Huang and dried ginger to grind half into fine powder and apply it to the swollen area, and Song Duzong followed the method he said, and it was really well soon.

Puhuang is a herb that has a therapeutic effect on mouth ulcers caused by any cause.

So, what is the principle of Pu Huang in the treatment of mouth ulcers?

It turns out that this Pu Huang has the effect of clearing heat and cooling blood, invigorating blood and stopping bleeding, and astringent muscle. Canker sores, the middle of the ulcer surface is sunken, like a little rotten meat, and some will have some blood, this is because there is heat and poison there; Looking at the area around the ulcer surface, it will swell up, and the swelling is due to the lack of blood circulation. That's why it hurts so much.

Pu Huang is the dried pollen of cattails, for cattails, everyone may be relatively unfamiliar, but when it comes to cattails, many people must have seen it, and it can even evoke a lot of childhood memories. The cattail leaves are thin, like a green sword, standing upright on the water, and the most impressive thing is that it also has a small brown thick stick on top.

Cattails grow in water and have the coolness of water, so Puhuang can clear heat and cool blood. This is the first point, and the second point, Pu Huang invigorates blood and stops bleeding, which can eliminate the stasis hematoma around the ulcer surface, and the effect of Pu Huang in invigorating blood and stopping bleeding is quite powerful, and the treatment of mouth ulcers is just a small use of it.

There is a very famous recipe in the Chinese medicine industry, which is called Lost Laughter. That is to say, after a person has a sick face, his face is full of sadness, and he can no longer see a smile on his face, which can help you get back the lost smile.

This recipe only has two flavors of medicine, one is Wuling Fat, the other is Pu Huang, the two flavors of medicinal materials are powdered and packed in jars, for all kinds of blood stasis pain, the pain is like a needle prick, each time hook a small spoon, with some rice wine, as soon as you drink it, the blood flow as soon as the pain stops. Or you don't add five spirit fats, and Puhuang alone also has this effect.

Again, Puhuang has the effect of astringent muscles, which can make the ulcerated muscles grow back quickly.

Isn't the combination of the three in tune with mouth ulcers?

The method of use is also very simple, take 30 grams of raw puhuang, add a little warm water to make a paste, gargle in the mouth, or directly apply the raw puhuang to the ulcer surface, and the sore will recover quickly.

4. Tongue ulcer: less flushing, middle flushing......


Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the tongue is the seedling of the heart, and the heart is open to the tongue, so the ulcers on the surface of the tongue can be pricked with blood in the well points of the hand Shaoyin Heart Sutra to relieve the heart fire. On the other hand, due to the wide range of the tongue, if the ulcer is on the tongue, in addition to pricking blood at the Shaochong acupoint, it is necessary to choose different acupuncture points according to the specific position on the tongue.

 ❖ If the ulcer is on the tip of the tongue, it indicates that there is something wrong with the heart, which is mostly related to thoughts, and it is too hot in the heart.

 ❖ If the ulcer site is on both sides of the tongue, it indicates that there is a problem with the liver and gallbladder group.

 ❖ If the ulcer site is in the middle of the tongue, it indicates that there is a problem with the spleen and stomach, and Shangyang pricking blood can be added to Shaochong.

 ❖ If the ulcer site is at the base of the tongue, it indicates that there is a problem with the kidneys and bladder.

5. Ulcers accompanied by dry mouth: Zhaohai, column deficiency
