What to do if mouth ulcers and tongue blisters

Many people have experienced symptoms such as mouth ulcers and tongue blisters. These symptoms are caused by getting "heat". Getting "heat" means that people have consumed too much greasy and spicy food in recent times, or have not had enough sleep or have poor sleep quality. Reducing heat is the fundamental method to treat mouth ulcers and tongue blisters. So what can we do to reduce the heat? Now let me introduce to you some methods of reducing heat through diet therapy.

When you have a sore throat, you should eat more bitter foods, because bitter foods are the natural enemy of fire! The best bitter food for clearing heat and detoxifying is bitter melon. It can be eaten cold, stir-fried, or made into soup. It is best if it is stir-fried until it is cooked while retaining its greenness. Alternatively, wash the bitter melon, add a little salt and sesame oil, and eat it cold. This will not destroy the nutrients in the bitter melon itself. You can also cut the bitter melon into slices to make tea or squeeze out the juice to drink. Drinking raw bitter melon juice can enable the body to quickly absorb a large amount of bitter melon's effective ingredients.

In order to make bitter melon less bitter, you can soak it in salt water before eating it. This can remove some of the bitterness and also remove some oxalic acid in the bitter melon, so as not to hinder the absorption of calcium in the food. In addition to bitter melon, other bitter foods are also worth recommending, such as almonds, bitter herbs, kuding tea, celery, buckwheat, kale, nasturtium, etc. Add fresh celery leaves to water and make a decoction, or blanch fresh celery in boiling water and then squeeze out the juice, which can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat after consumption.

In addition to eating more bitter foods, there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in spring, so you should also eat more sweet and refreshing fresh fruits and tender vegetables. Cabbage, cauliflower, watermelon, hawthorn, apple, grape, etc. are rich in minerals, especially calcium, magnesium and silicon. They have magical effects of calming the mind and reducing internal heat. Therefore, these foods should be eaten often in spring.

Generally speaking, cold fruits include: watermelon, pear, grapefruit, pomelo, coconut, orange, hard persimmon, mangosteen, and tomato. Hot fruits include: longan, lychee, mango, and durian. Neutral fruits include: guava, apple, grape, orange, papaya, strawberry, cherry, and mulberry. When you are not feeling well, such as having a cold, you should eat less cold and hot fruits. At this time, you can eat more neutral fruits.

In addition to using food therapy to treat symptoms such as mouth ulcers and tongue blisters to achieve the purpose of reducing heat, we can also ensure our sleep quality, balanced nutrition, drink plenty of water and other methods to prevent getting angry. The most important thing is to have a regular life and rest schedule. Finally, the editor wishes everyone good health.
