Oriental medicine for mouth ulcers
According to Oriental medicine, mouth ulcers are mouth ulcers including mouth ulcers, tongue ulcers, appearing on the mucous membranes as red, painful, swollen ulcers, and in severe cases, there may be pus. People with this disease often feel a burning pain, especially when eating salty, sour, spicy foods, have bad breath, feel hot or have a slight fever, yellow urine, constipation, and a red tongue.
Oriental medicine believes that mouth ulcers are caused by toxic heat in the spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach are hot) or by yin deficiency causing internal heat, causing the damaged fire to rise and cause ulcers in the mouth and tongue.
