Today we are going to talk about bitter mouth, bad breath and teeth grinding, to pick one of them, the typical manifestations or high-strength positive information, as long as we see this symptom, we can immediately diagnose, this is the high-strength positive symptoms.
For example, when we mention bitterness, we immediately think of gall, because the taste of gall is bitter, so in our meridians or organs, there are all kinds of symptoms, as long as we see bitterness, the symptoms of bitterness in the mouth, we will immediately say that we associate with gallbladder, and the diagnosis is a problem of gallbladder abdomen, or at least it has a close relationship with the gallbladder viscera. Bitter mouth is a manifestation of vomiting caused by gallbladder, but the part of the symptoms is in the mouth, how can the symptoms of the mouth affect the gallbladder?
The gallbladder does not directly cause bitterness in the mouth, but it must carry an internal organ, which is the stomach. The concept of the stomach in our traditional Chinese medicine is relatively broad, including the large intestine, small intestine, esophagus, oral cavity, etc.
Stomach is the general name of the entire digestive tract and digestive system of the human body, when the bile affects the stomach, bile will be released into the duodenum to help us metabolize, digest and absorb, when this function is abnormal, the contents of the duodenum reflux to the stomach, causing gastric reflux, called biliary and gastric disharmony.
At this time, whether it is the gas in the stomach or the actual contents of the stomach, it stimulates the mucosa of the esophagus upwards and affects our mouth, and the symptoms of bitter mouth will appear.
Because it is the gallbladder problem that causes the stomach to vomit, there will be a type of nausea, vomiting, belching, acid swallowing, etc., in this type of manifestation, bitter mouth is a typical high-strength positive information.
If you look at bad breath and teeth grinding, both of these problems are also in the mouth.
Bad breath is a manifestation of an upward reaction to stomach fire, and teeth grinding is also a sign of movement and activity of stomach fire, and these two manifestations also have high positive information.
As long as we see that the breath is relatively heavy, there is a sour taste in the mouth, the taste of food is not digested, and there are symptoms of teeth grinding when we sleep at night, it must be a big stomach fire. The reversal of stomach qi leads to gastric inflammation, and the taste in the mouth is relatively heavy, teeth grinding, and even mouth ulcers, gum erosion, periodontitis and other manifestations will occur.
This kind of problem belongs to the stomach, but the problem of the stomach and the problem of the gallbladder are inseparable, this upward reaction of the stomach, there must be gall in the following to do a initiator, the problem of gallbladder is reflected in the mouth, and it must be reflected in the mouth through the stomach, so bitter mouth, bad breath and teeth grinding are combined to look at it, which is called bile and stomach disharmony, bile or stomach gas on the reverse symptoms.
Today, Su Mu will teach you a small prescription composed of three acupuncture points, and regular massage will have a good effect.
The symptoms I just mentioned, one is in the gallbladder and the other is in the stomach, which are all upward reversal and a kind of fever, so we have to choose the acupuncture points that have the effect of reducing inversion and dissipating heat, respectively in the two acupuncture points of the Zuyang Ming Stomach Meridian and the Zushao Yang Bile Meridian.
These two acupuncture points had a common name in ancient times, called Xing acupoint, which has the effect of dissipating heat, which can relieve the heat of the meridians, and through the heat of the meridians, the heat of the corresponding viscera is discharged.
The Xing acupoint of the Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridian is called the Inner Courtyard Acupoint, which is at the end of the finger gap between the second and third fingers of the foot.
For example, hyperappetite, breath, teeth grinding, bad breath, including oral ulcers, periodontitis, and gum erosion, these problems can be stimulated by the inner courtyard acupoint.
As we said before, if you want acupuncture points to play a role in catharsis, the stimulation force is often relatively strong, beyond the scope of the human body's tolerance, and if you want to tonify, you need to use some gentle, long-lasting, and penetrating methods. Stronger stimulation methods should be used to stimulate the acupoints.
Stand our thumb and index finger up, put the tip of the thumb on the end of the stripe between the fingers of the second finger and the third finger, and put the index finger on the opposite side, which is also called the inner court.
Pinching the inner courtyard acupoint hard, there is a very strong tingling or soreness feeling, and the radiating pain can play a role. If your hands are weak, you can also find a toothpick, sharpen your head a little more, and use a toothpick to prick this acupuncture point.
The Xing point of the foot and yang gallbladder meridian is called the Xia Xi point, the back of the foot, between the fourth and fifth toes, and the red and white flesh behind the webbed edge of the toes.
The two acupuncture points are pinched for dozens of seconds each, and they will be pinched again when they rest, giving the acupuncture points a continuous strong stimulation, and the effect of heat dissipation is better. If symptoms are severe, do it several times a day.
There is also a third acupuncture point, which is the Qi Ze acupoint of the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand, and the outer side of the thick tendon in the center of the inner side of the arm.
The two acupuncture points just now are on the feet, and the three yang meridians of the feet go from the beginning to the feet, which can lead the symptoms of upward reversal downward, but the fire and heat on the upper side, we can suppress it through the Qize acupoint.
The Qi Ze acupoint is a particularly good acupuncture point for inhibiting acid, inhibiting the upward reversal of gastric acid, and the corresponding part is in the upper mouth of our stomach.
The method used in the Qi Ze acupoint is to pat out the sha, put the four fingers together in the elbow socket, pat the slight sha hard, and stimulate the shakuzawa point alternately left and right, do it once a day, and the next day the sha retreats, and shoot again.
Slapping and sha is also a strong stimulation, diarrhoeal method, these two methods are used together, insist on doing it for a week to two weeks, bitter mouth, bad breath, and the symptoms of teeth grinding can be reduced.
