[Outline of Tongue Diseases]
The tongue is originally the external orifice of the Heart. When Ministerial Fire (Jun Huo) rises and flares, it inevitably causes dryness, pain, thirst, irritability, accompanied by swelling; various colors of tongue coating must be observed carefully.

Tongue deviation is solely due to Liver dryness; in emergencies, miraculous medicines must be applied.
[Outline of Toothache]
Toothache is not outside the scope of Fire pathogen combined with Wind pathogen. Gingival swelling stems from Stomach Qi rebelling upward. Jia Wood (Liver/Gallbladder Qi) stagnates and sinks within Shi Earth (Spleen/Stomach dampness), thereby causing dental decay and worm infestation.

[Outline of Throat Diseases]
The Five Zang organs connect via orifices to the throat (Hou), while the Six Fu organs connect to the pharynx (Yan). Turbid Qi descends and Clear Qi ascends, following the pattern of Heaven and Earth.

[Outline of Voice Disorders]
Voice and Qi are exclusively governed by Lung Metal. If Dampness becomes excessive, aphonia results. Unresonant voice indicates mental disturbance; one should assist Clear Yang and suppress Turbid Yin.
