Tongue arthralgia refers to numbness or pain in the tongue,which is equivalent to"burning mouth syndrome"and"tongue pain"in western medicine.Professor Lu Suqin has found in many years'clinical practice that patients with tongue arthralgia are usually accompanied by emotional abnormalities of different degrees.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the mind controls the emotion,and sadness and sorrow lead to heart palpitations.Additionally,the tongue is the seedling of the heart,so the loss of mental nourishment can easily affect the tongue itself,leading to tongue arthralgia.Therefore,it is considered that the pathogenic factors of tongue arthralgia may be related to mental and emotional states.Under the academic guidance of the holistic view of"correspondence between man and nature",the dialectical view of"combination of three distinctions"and the therapeutic view of"treating with peace and duration",professor Lu adopts the dialectical concept of distinguishing between people,distinguishing between nature,and distinguishing between diseases,as well as the method of combining the four diagnostic methods.Professor Lu's treatment method is oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine combined with Longsha Kaihe Six Qi Acupuncture to achieve the combination of acupuncture and medicine,so as to achieve the treatment principle of damaging its surplus and supplementing its deficiency.It has achieved significant therapeutic effects in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tongue arthralgia.Now,the dialectical thinking combined with clinical cases is summarized and introduced as follows.
