【牙肉腫痛唔一定係熱氣🧐？】
唔知大家有冇試過牙肉發炎腫痛、甚至流牙血。好多時都係發生喺食咗熱氣野之後，但有陣時明明都冇食燥熱嘢，但仍然會發生？等我哋一齊睇吓其原因何在。
上牙肉腫痛🦷😫
多數同「胃火🔥」有關，常見於過食辛辣煎炸食物之後。由於胃經循行於上齒齦、過多的「火氣會循經絡往上衝」而出現胃火牙肉腫痛的情況。
下牙肉腫痛🦷😫
1.若然牙肉脹痛來得勢急、並伴隨便秘、小便黃，多屬於大腸實熱，同樣道理 由於大腸經循行於下齒齦，熱毒積聚往上衝而發生。
2.但如果明明無便秘💩問題，飲食方面亦清淡刻制，卻依然出現下牙肉腫痛，而此痛勢綿綿反覆發作，則多同腎陰不足、虛火上炎有關。
上下牙肉同時不適？
當然首先考慮飲食影響導致火氣偏盛，但不能排除實火與虛火夾雜的情況！
🌱 有咩自救方法？
喺症狀未嚴重之前，可先從生活入手。短期內避免辛辣、酒精🍺❌、夜瞓，已經可以幫到手。
中草藥方面，偏紅腫熱痛者，可選擇飲用菊花、金銀花、夏枯草幫身體降一降火；反覆下牙肉腫的朋友們，則應更著重養陰生津，如服用生地黃等。
穴位調理:
平日可輕按合谷、內庭、太溪等穴位，每次以微酸脹感為度，幫助經絡流通、平衡火氣。
中醫睇牙肉腫痛，唔只係止痛，而係透過位置、痛勢及其情況，了解身體需要去作出調整。

Why do Gums Swell and Hurt?
Have you ever had swollen, painful gums, or even bleeding? It often happens after eating “heaty” foods, but sometimes it appears even when your diet is light. In Chinese medicine, the cause depends on the location and nature of the pain.
Upper gum swelling
This is commonly linked to stomach heat, often after spicy, fried, or greasy foods. The stomach meridian runs to the upper gums, so excess heat can rise upward and cause swelling and pain.
Lower gum swelling
1. If the pain comes on suddenly and is severe, with constipation or dark urine, it is usually excess heat in the large intestine, as this meridian connects to the lower gums.
2. If there is no constipation and the diet is already mild, but the pain keeps recurring and feels dull or lingering, it is more likely due to kidney yin deficiency, where “empty heat” rises upward.
Both upper and lower gums affected?
Dietary heat is a common cause, but it may also be a mix of excess heat and deficiency heat.
🌱 What can you do?
Before symptoms get serious, adjust your lifestyle: avoid spicy food, alcohol, and late nights.
For red, swollen, hot pain, teas like chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, or self-heal (Xia Ku Cao) may help clear heat.
For recurring lower gum problems, focus more on nourishing yin, such as with raw rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang).
Acupressure：
Gently press Hegu (LI4), Neiting (ST44), and Taixi (KI3) until you feel mild soreness to help balance internal heat.
In TCM, gum pain is not just about pain relief—it’s a sign of what your body needs to rebalance.
