Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to treat oral ulcers

Oral ulcers are a common phenomenon in life. Although they are not a serious disease, they can still have a great impact on people's daily life. Oral ulcers will generally resolve on their own over time, but this process is relatively slow and may worsen the condition, so oral ulcers must be treated promptly.

reason:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly caused by heat accumulation in the heart and spleen, and excessive fire due to yin deficiency. Modern medicine believes that recurrent oral ulcers are closely related to immunity. In addition, the frequent occurrence of anemia, picky eating, indigestion, diarrhea, fever, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, mental stress, work pressure, changes in menstrual cycle, etc. can also cause the body's immunity to decline and lead to frequent attacks of recurrent oral ulcers.

Treatment principles:

1. It is caused by heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach. It is advisable to eat foods that can clear away heat and purge fire, cool blood and clear the bowels.

2. If the heart fire is inflamed, it is advisable to eat foods that clear the heart and reduce fire, cool the blood and promote urination.

3. Because liver depression and qi stagnation are related to emotions and menstruation, the diet should be suitable for soothing the liver and regulating qi, and regulating Chong and Ren.

4. Patients with Yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire should take Yin-nourishing and fire-reducing foods for conditioning.

5. Because it is caused by spleen deficiency and dampness, dietary treatment should include eating more foods that can replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, and aromatically eliminate dampness.

6. For those with spleen and kidney yang deficiency, the treatment should be to warm and tonify the spleen and kidney, dispel cold and eliminate dampness.
