The mouth is the orifice of the Spleen, and the tongue is the orifice of the Heart; they are the portals through which the Five Flavors enter. When the Qi of the Heart and Spleen meridians is harmonious, the Five Flavors enter the mouth to nourish the Five Viscera. However, if excessive indulgence in the Five Flavors generates accumulated heat that rushes to the mouth and tongue, various diseases arise. Manifesting in the mouth, it is called Kou Chuang (Mouth Sores); injuring the tongue, it becomes She Bing (Tongue Diseases). Nevertheless, treatment must be tailored according to the specific etiology.
