Frequent canker sores/cold sores/herpes/bronchitis

[Guest guest]

Hi, I have a patient who came to me with frequent bronchitis, mouth

sores (canker sores), cold sores, and herpes. Her bronchitis has

since gotten better (no flares ups in many months now), but she

continues to go through periods of a mouth full of canker sores (often

referred to as Mouth sores in TCM texts). Still sometimes gets

herpes, often on her leg as opposed to genitals. She has gotten

canker sores frequently her whole life, even as a kid. She is

constitutionally yin deficient. Her tongue has a dip in the middle

(lung and/or stomach/spleen area). Not a lot of coating on her tongue,

but not peeled. Pulses are thready. Occassional nightsweats. 44

years old. Has a husky sounding voice. Former sun worshipper, but is

reducing that. High energy person.

 

I read about Sha Shen Mai Men Dong Tang in Notes From South Mountain

being good for someone with frequent bronchitis and canker

sores--adding a little Huang Lian. I gave it to her recently, but

since she is having an acute flare up of a mouth full of canker sores

I think that it is not addressing the acute aspect even if it is good

constitutionally. I am thinking of giving her Long Dan Xie Gan Tang

along with the Sha Shen Mai Men Dong Tang for the acute heat

situation, but wanted to get ideas on here as well. Any thoughts on

herbs? Any similar experiences to share?

 

Thanks,

 

Laura

Hi Laura,

I have had great success with Probiotics (good gut bacteria) as well as B

complex. Acidophilus being very specific and usually 24-36hrs will knock out the

canker sores. Very likely to have modest benefits for other issues as well.

Just a bit of caution with Long Dan Xie Gan --> it is

pretty drying, and so you may not want to give it for

too long.

 

At the same time, you can give your patient Watermelon

Froth (Xi Guo Xiang) to administer directly on the

mouth sores. This powder will speed up the healing

process of the canker sores dramatically.
