舌血、舌肿、舌出方
炒槐花细末掺之即止。肿胀者，蒲黄末掺之。患热病多舌出不能入者，冰片搽之愈。
齿者，骨之余。骨不外露，齿质乃骨而外露，故曰余。如唇为肉余、爪为筋余、
发为血余，俱内藏者，余出而外露也。气则不言余，以气呼出可见耳。肾主骨，故
齿属肾，言其本也。胃足阳明之入上齿龈，大肠手阳明之入下齿龈，言其经也。是
故本病者多病齿骨，经病者多病齿龈。然有虚实风火虫蚀之不同，在诊之细为分别，则无不效。选方七首。

Prescription for Tongue Bleeding, Tongue Swelling, and Tongue Prolapse

For those suffering from febrile diseases where the tongue protrudes and cannot retract, apply Borneolum Syntheticum (Bing Pian, 冰片) topically to cure.
Teeth are the surplus of bone. Bone does not expose itself externally; teeth, being essentially bone, are exposed externally, hence termed "surplus." Similarly, lips are the surplus of flesh, nails are the surplus of sinews, and hair is the surplus of blood; these are internal stores, while only the "surplus" emerges and exposes itself. Qi is not referred to as surplus because exhaled air is visible. The Kidney governs bone, thus teeth belong to the Kidney, referring to their root. The Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian enters the upper gum, and the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian enters the lower gum, referring to their meridians. Therefore, diseases originating from the Zang-Fu organs often affect the tooth bones, while meridian diseases often affect the gums. However, there are differences such as deficiency-excess, wind-fire, and worm erosion; careful diagnosis and differentiation ensure efficacy. Seven selected prescriptions follow.
