With this set of acupuncture points, I am no longer afraid of mouth ulcers

One of life's great joys is the food. But sometimes there is a small problem in the mouth that prevents us from enjoying the food, and that is the annoying mouth sores.

Some people think that canker sores are a trivial matter, but now there are special medicines for canker sores, which can be applied to the area of the ulcer. As everyone knows, although ulcer disease is small, small diseases can often reflect the problems of our internal organs.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mouth ulcers are caused by the accumulation of heat in the internal organs, or the deficiency of qi, yin, and fire, or the weakness of the spleen and stomach. Next, I will teach you to identify which organ is wrong according to the different locations of the ulcer, and use this as a basis for relief.

01

Ulcers around the lips - Shang Yang

Some people are prone to ulcers around the lips, which means that your disease is located in the stomach and intestines, and the cause is mostly related to digestion, which belongs to the stomach fire. Because the lip circumference belongs to the spleen, and the stomach meridian and the large intestine meridian follow the route around the lips. We can use the method of Shangyang blood pricking, which has the effect of awakening the mind and opening the mind, diarrhoea and reducing swelling.

02

Ulcer in the lip - Guan Chong

If the ulcer is in the lip, it means that you have a liver problem, and the cause is mostly related to emotions, which is liver depression and fire. Because the branches of the liver meridian surround and pass through the lip. The Guan Chong acupoint can regulate the qi of the chest and abdomen, soothe the liver and relieve depression. Pricking blood here is a method of laxative, which can smooth the mood and the ulcer will naturally heal.

03

Sublingual ulcer – Wai Zhong

Some people love ulcers under the tongue, which is a sign of dampness and heat, and can be used to prick blood cupping in the Weizhong acupoint. Weizhong acupoint has the effect of activating the meridians, dispelling wind and dampness, strengthening the waist and knees, cooling blood and diarrhoea heat, and pricking blood cupping at this acupoint can clear dampness and heat, and the dampness and heat are cleared, which is very helpful for relieving sublingual ulcers.

04

Tongue ulcers – 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.

Ulcers are accompanied by dry mouth - shine on the sea, column is missing

If the ulcer is accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth and chapped tongue, it means that you belong to yin deficiency, and you can follow the two acupuncture points of Hai and Lie to nourish yin.

Zhaohai has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and clearing heat, and regulating the three cokes. If the column is missing, it can promote the lungs and disperse evil spirits and regulate the meridians. These two acupuncture points are combined with the taps, which have the effect of nourishing yin and clearing the lungs, and the symptoms of dry mouth will naturally be alleviated.
