What is the cause of the thorn on the tongue?

In the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "fire" is one of the six evils of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire. Because of external climate problems, the body's "dampness evil" is caused. It will cause a variety of symptoms, such as tongue thorns. Let's take a look at these aspects.

The growth of thorns on the tongue is mostly caused by the increase of stomach heat and liver fire. Long-term consumption of spicy food, greasy food, and food that is difficult to digest will increase stomach heat. Too much work pressure, long-term tension and anxiety, quarrels, and anger will cause liver fire, which will cause oral mucosal papillitis, making the mouth look like a barb. Lack of vitamins and nutrients in the body can also cause glossitis, ulcers on the oral mucosa, causing local swelling and rupture, and can also cause thorns on the tongue.

Herpes virus infection or Candida albicans stomatitis causes blistering, erosion or leukoplakia and white hyperplastic pseudomembrane on the surface of the mouth. It can also cause tongue calluses and lichen planus of the oral mucosa. The main manifestations of lichen planus in the mouth are varied, causing white hyperplastic plaques, erosions, bleeding and other changes in the mouth.

Symptoms of Liver Fire in Men

Men with liver fire will experience dizziness, nausea, headache, insomnia, thick white tongue coating, and increasingly irritable temper. In addition, they will continue to have symptoms such as dry and hard stools and particularly yellow urine. For men with liver fire, they must quit smoking and drinking, eat more eggplants, drink more chrysanthemum tea, and adjust their diet.

Many people think that liver fire is not a disease and that drinking more water will cure it. In fact, this understanding is incorrect. Patients with liver fire will have symptoms such as irritability, emotional instability, dry eyes, etc. Liver fire is caused by abnormal blood and qi regulation of the five internal organs of the human body, and medication is required. Long-term liver fire will have a certain impact on physical and mental health. Patients should pay high attention to it and take timely treatment measures.
