"Su Wenxuan Wu Mingqi" has a cloud:' Acid enters the liver, pungent enters the lungs, bitter enters the heart, salty enters the kidney, and sweet enters the spleen, meaning five enters'; Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that the five flavors of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty are closely related to the health of the five internal organs of the human body, such as liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. From the abnormal taste of the mouth, we can roughly judge the health of the body.
There is no taste in the mouth, which is a manifestation of spleen deficiency.
When people reach middle age, the function of the digestive system will decline. Therefore, we often hear the old people at home say that they are soft-spoken, have no appetite and have no taste when eating. This is actually a sign of weakness of the spleen and stomach, and such patients are prone to abdominal distension, loose stools and other symptoms.
With the improvement of living standards, coupled with the reasons that most people eat irregularly and stay up late, the weakness of the spleen and stomach has become younger and younger, with pale tongue and white fur. For these symptoms, you can refer to the use of Guipi Pill, which is helpful for digestion and can alleviate the phenomenon of loss of appetite.
I always feel sweet and greasy in my mouth, and there is phlegm in my body.
Some people always feel sweet and greasy in their mouths and feel very uncomfortable. This shows that the water in the body stops gathering and gathers into phlegm, which is mostly caused by the patient's irregular diet and eating too much greasy and sweet food. In addition, there will be symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and dizziness. At this time, the tongue is dull and the tongue coating is slightly yellow and greasy.
For this kind of symptoms, we should first remove moisture and then strengthen the spleen. At this time, you can refer to taking Chen Er Pill, whose main function is to eliminate dampness and phlegm and regulate the spleen and stomach.
Sour mouth, mostly damp-heat in liver and gallbladder.
If a person often feels sour in his mouth, it means that his liver qi is too urgent, but the urgency of qi and temperature are incompatible. At this time, liver qi will attack the stomach, and symptoms of sour mouth will appear. At this time, patients often have emotional irritability and depression, which needs to be solved by soothing the liver and relieving depression. Refer to the drug Shugan Hewei Pill, which is mainly used for a kind of disharmony between liver and stomach.
Bitter mouth, strong heart.
Bitter taste belongs to fire, and the bitter taste at this time is mostly caused by hyperactivity of the heart and liver. At this time, some people will have doubts. Isn't bitterness the function of catharsis? How can it lead to the excitement of internal organs? For example, Coptis chinensis is a typical bitter medicine, whose main function is to clear the heart and reduce fire, but some people will get angry if they take Coptis chinensis for a long time. At this time, because of the bitter cold of coptis chinensis, the middle qi will not work, and the fire will not come down, and there will be symptoms of getting angry.
Hyperactivity of the heart and liver is manifested as emotional irritability, irritability, insomnia and dreaminess, as well as sores on the tongue coating and yellow urine. To deal with this problem, it is necessary to soothe the liver and purge fire, and clear the liver and heart. At this time, you can try to drink the light bamboo leaf and licorice tea to achieve the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials and clearing your heart.
Bitter mouth and vigorous lung fire.
Sometimes if you don't eat spicy food, you will feel spicy in your mouth, which has a lot to do with excessive lung fire and excessive lung and stomach fire. At this time, it will be accompanied by symptoms such as sore throat, cough, nasal dryness and even nosebleeds.
There is a simple folk prescription for clearing lung fire, such as dandelion honeysuckle tea. Lung and stomach fire, refer to Allium macrostemon powder, relieve cough and asthma, and clear lung heat.
Salty mouth, kidney deficiency and much water.
If there is an inexplicable salty taste in the mouth, it is mostly caused by kidney deficiency and excessive water, often accompanied by symptoms such as backache and leg pain, general weakness and frequent urination at night.
This symptom is more common in patients with kidney yin deficiency. Some studies have found that salty mouth is a reaction caused by the high content of calcium and sodium in saliva of patients. For these cases, you can refer to taking Baizhi Dihuang Pill to recuperate. Its main function is to nourish yin and clear heat, and it is often used for symptoms caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire.
Finally, Dr. Wang reminded everyone that if there is an odor in the mouth, you must seek medical treatment in time and find a professional doctor for differential diagnosis.
