What to do if your tongue gets hot? An old Chinese doctor recommends several ways to relieve heat

In modern life, many people have problems with getting inflamed due to excessive intake of spicy and fried foods, lack of rest, and frequent staying up late. Getting a fever often manifests itself as blisters and ulcers on the tongue, which causes great trouble to our eating.

1: The first dietary therapy for mouth ulcers that I would like to recommend to you is the raw earth and green plum drink. The recipe: 15 grams of raw earth, 10 grams of dendrobium, 2 grams of licorice, and 30 grams of green plum. Preparation method: Add appropriate amount of water to raw rehmannia, dendrobium, licorice and green plum, cook for 20 minutes, remove the residue and take the juice. Efficacy: Nourishes yin, clears heat, reduces fire and heals sores. Usage: Take 1 dose daily, divided into 2 to 3 times for oral administration. Can be used continuously for several days.

2: Raw Rehmannia glutinosa and lotus seed heart soup is also a relatively good dietary therapy for mouth ulcers. Recipe: 9 grams of raw rehmannia glutinosa, 6 grams of lotus seed heart, and 6 grams of licorice. Preparation method: Add water to the three ingredients, boil them together, remove the residue and take the juice. Efficacy: Nourishes yin and clears away heat. Usage: Take 1 dose daily for several days.

3: Lotus seed and licorice tea is also a good dietary therapy for mouth ulcers. Recipe: 15 grams of lotus seeds, 2 grams of licorice, and 5 grams of green tea leaves. Preparation method: Put all the above ingredients into a teacup and pour in boiling water to soak. Efficacy: Clears the heart and relieves heat. Usage: Drink frequently instead of tea.

4: Another dietary treatment for mouth ulcers is bamboo leaf, tongcao and mung bean porridge. The recipe: 10 grams of light bamboo leaves, 5 grams of tongcao, 1.5 grams of licorice, 30 grams of mung beans, and 150 grams of polished rice. Preparation method: Chop the light bamboo leaves, tongcao and licorice into pieces, put them into a gauze bag, add water together with mung beans and rice, leave them for 30 minutes, and cook them over low heat to make porridge. Efficacy: Clears away heat and purges fire, detoxifies and heals sores. Usage: Take in the morning and evening.

5: Use 25 grams of honey, 1 gram of green tea, and 10 grams of gallnut. Add the gallnut to 400 ml of water and boil for 10 minutes. Add the green tea and wait until it is warm, then add the honey. After 5 minutes, drink it slowly in two doses for 3 consecutive days. Use 30 grams of honey and 3 grams of borax, mix them well and apply to the affected area; 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days.

6: Supplement vitamin B. You can make up for the lack of vitamin B in the body by taking vitamin B tablets, or you can eat a boiled egg yolk every morning and evening for dietary supplements.

Eat regularly, with light and balanced meals, so you don't have to worry about tongue problems caused by getting a sore throat.
