论述：乳石引发口舌疮烂的病因，是由于饮食不规律。导致谷气（水谷精微之气）不足，而乳石的药性暴烈，其热邪侵犯心脾两脏。脾开窍于口，心开窍于舌，热邪积聚形成疮疡，疮疡严重则溃烂。若此时不能进食，可知热邪已至极点，解热的药剂不可延误。

Discussion: The etiology of mouth and tongue ulcers caused by Ru Shi (Stone Powder) is irregular diet. This leads to a deficiency of Gu Qi (Qi derived from food and water), while the nature of Ru Shi is violent and its heat pathogen invades the Heart and Spleen. The Spleen opens into the mouth, and the Heart opens into the tongue; heat accumulation forms sores, and severe sores lead to ulceration. If one cannot eat at this point, it indicates that the heat has reached an extreme level, and heat-clearing agents must not be delayed.
For treating body heat, irritability, oral ulceration, burning pain in both exterior and interior, and inability to eat caused by Ru Shi activation, use Zhizi Ren Tang (Gardenia Kernel Decoction):
Zhizi Ren (Fructus Gardeniae, 10 pieces), Huang Qin (Radix Scutellariae, removed black heart), Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, chopped and stir-fried, each 3 liang), Chi (Folium Sojae Praeparatum, 2 he).
The above four herbs are coarsely pounded and sieved. Each dose consists of 5 qian bi, boiled with 1.5 zhan of water and 1 he of Xiang Chi until reduced to 0.8 zhan. Strain and take warm before meals.
For treating Ru Shi activation causing oral injury and ulceration, stiff and dry tongue, and inability to taste due to insufficient food intake and Gu Qi, with medicinal qi accumulating in the epigastrium, use Xiang Chi Tang (Aromatic Soybean Decoction):

The above five herbs are coarsely pounded and sieved. Each dose consists of 5 qian bi, boiled with 1.5 zhan of water until reduced to 0.8 zhan. Strain and take warm, twice daily.
For treating Ru Shi activation causing headache and neck pain, chest and hypochondriac fullness, alternating chills and fever, cold extremities, or oral ulceration, dry retching, aversion to food odors, and rising Qi threatening to cease, use Qianhu Tang (Peucedani Radix Decoction):

The above five herbs are coarsely pounded and sieved. Each dose consists of 5 qian bi, boiled with 1.5 zhan of water and 5 broken Jujubae Fructus until reduced to 0.8 zhan. Strain and take warm, twice daily.
If Qi is excess, add Fuling (Poria, removed black skin) 2 liang; if there is chest fullness and obstruction, add Zhike (Exocarpium Citri Grandis, pulp and bran removed, stir-fried) 1 liang; if there is vomiting and cold in the chest, add Ganjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, processed) 2 liang; if there is dry mouth, add Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, core removed and baked) 2 liang.

For treating Ru Shi activation causing mouth and tongue ulcers, use Qianshuang San (Lead Frost Powder):
Qianshuang (Sublimated Lead Oxide, ground), Baifan (Alumen, burned to ash), Huangbai (Cortex Phellodendri, bark removed, honey-fried, each 1 liang), Shexiang (Moschus, ground, 1 qian).
