唇本脾之外候,然足阳明之脉,亦起于鼻,而环于唇,故凡停滞伤脾,必气粗唇坚
而发肿,名曰唇肿。至有伤寒,或发惊候,是以眉棱骨痛,厥热眩闷,气秽颐浮,或舌
苔,或齿击,或狂逆,则又色白肿甚,名曰茧唇。至若胃伤极而唇糜,壮热秽甚见痘
者,名曰胃烂唇枭,十救一二。如忧愁劳极,满唇破裂者,亦名口糜。如风寒乍乘,
唇青带白者,宜温胃驱风。如吐后而唇白者,治宜养胃调气。如怒气上冲,唇青者,
治宜顺气,平肝和胃。更有唇口蠕动者,脾虚不能收摄也。误治为痰,则津液愈枯,筋
脉失养,抽搐诸候来矣。

The lips are the external manifestation of the Spleen. However, the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian originates near the nose and circles the lips. Therefore, any stagnation injuring the Spleen will inevitably result in coarse breathing, firmness, and swelling of the lips, termed "Lip Swelling." In cases of Shang Han (Cold Damage) or convulsive disorders, pain in the supraorbital ridge may occur, accompanied by alternating cold and heat, dizziness, and chest oppression. With foul breath, swollen chin, abnormal tongue coating, teeth grinding, or manic behavior, the lips may become very white and swollen, termed "Silkworm Cocoon Lip." If stomach injury is extreme leading to lip ulceration, accompanied by high fever, severe foul odor, and visible pox, it is termed "Stomach Rot Lip Owl," with only one or two out of ten recoveries. If chronic worry and exhaustion cause cracking of the entire lip, it is also called "Oral Ulceration" (Kou Mi). If wind-cold suddenly invades causing blue-tinged white lips, warming the stomach and expelling wind is appropriate. If lips turn white after vomiting, nourishing the stomach and regulating qi is indicated. If anger rises causing blue lips, soothing qi, calming the liver, and harmonizing the stomach is required. Furthermore, twitching of the lips and mouth indicates Spleen deficiency failing to control retention. Misdiagnosing this as phlegm will further deplete body fluids, deprive sinews and vessels of nourishment, and lead to convulsions.
Mouth sores are caused by heat accumulation in the Heart and Spleen. Infants have undeveloped Yin and excessive Yang-heat. If over-warmed during care, heat accumulates in the Heart and Spleen, steaming upward to form sores. Treatment should focus on clearing Heart fire and resolving toxicity, primarily using cooling methods. If an infant under one month old suffers from various diseases but has no saliva in the mouth, the prognosis is ominous.
