In life, massage is often used to treat various diseases. Below, let's learn about the efficacy and massage techniques of the Jade Fluid Acupoint for treating chronic oral ulcers.
Causes of Chronic Oral Ulcers
1. Infection: Some people have proposed that streptococcus and several viruses play a role as pathogens in the onset of recurrent oral ulcers.
2. Psychological factors: This is one of the important factors causing the disease in modern society.
3. Digestive system diseases and functional disorders: There is suspicion that digestive system diseases and oral ulcers have common pathogenic bacteria, because the digestive system is closely related to the oral cavity. Whether oral ulcers occur before or after the onset of digestive system diseases still requires further research.
4. Immunological abnormalities: Oral ulcer patients show a decrease in CD4, a decrease in CD4/CD8 ratio, and a lower lymphocyte transformation rate than normal individuals. Oral ulcers often occur naturally, recur, and can resolve on their own. They have a genetic tendency and the affected tissues show obvious infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells. The use of corticosteroids can relieve symptoms.

Diet Taboos for Chronic Oral Ulcers
1. Avoid eating spicy foods
Improper diet in daily life can also trigger the onset of the disease. All foods can directly stimulate the oral mucosa, thus inducing ulcers. In addition to these irritating foods, spicy condiments such as chili, vinegar, ginger, and onions should also be consumed in moderation.
2. Avoid eating hard foods: These foods can cause friction on the ulcer surface during chewing, causing further damage to the ulcer surface and worsening symptoms.
3. Avoid eating ground foods
Ground foods are easy to adhere to the ulcer surface, affecting the recovery of the ulcer surface. At the same time, overly sticky and glutinous foods should also be avoided, as they are difficult to chew and can also affect the recovery of the ulcer surface.
4. Avoid eating hot foods
During the illness, patients must avoid consuming various hot foods, because if the temperature of the food is too high, it will inevitably stimulate the ulcer surface and worsen the condition. Boiling water or hot soup cannot kill the bacteria on the ulcer surface, but instead cause irritation. Therefore, when eating, the food must be cooled down before consumption.
