"Oral and Dental Essentials" was written in 1528 by Xue Ji of the Ming Dynasty. "Oral and Dental Essentials" is a volume in "The Complete Works of Xue's Medical Records". It contains 8 types of oral diseases such as the mouth, teeth, lips, tongue, and throat, and 4 other types of diseases such as insects in the ears, and 69 prescriptions. The content of the book is concise. When describing each disease, it not only follows the theories of doctors of previous generations before the Ming Dynasty, but also has its own clinical practice and insights.
Reader comments
I was surprised that there were medical books on oral cavity research in the Ming Dynasty, and I couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. I learned a little about the background of the book. This is an oral monograph written by the doctors Xue and his son. It plays an important role in studying the development history of early oral medicine in my country. The book consists of 2 volumes, mainly discussing 12 kinds of oral diseases (callous lips, toothache, oral and tongue erosion, sore throat, etc.), Accidental and miscellaneous diseases of the five senses, and 81 cases and 70 prescriptions. Although the text is short, it reflects Xue's unique explanation of oral diseases and their etiological mechanisms. The book provides Xue's own diagnosis and treatment experience, or letters from friends who have benefited from illness and recovered, making people feel authentic and reliable. There is also an index of prescriptions at the end of the book to facilitate reading and reference.
"Oral and Dental Essentials" is the earliest extant TCM oral and throat treatise, which discusses callous lips, aphtha, tongue diseases (including tongue swelling and pain, tongue sores, tongue bleeding, tongue fissure, tongue strongness, tongue irritability and heat, and tongue erosion), dental Symptoms and treatments for bleeding, tooth decay, swollen gums, tooth root shaking, swollen gums, gummy gums, sore throat, sore throat, throat congestion, laryngeal numbness and speechlessness, throat bones, foreign bodies stuck in the ears, and insects in the ears. Attached is a medical record, which introduces more than 60 prescriptions for treating mouth, teeth and throat diseases.
The book also mentions that heat-clearing and disinfecting medicines cannot be used casually, and treatment must be based on specific symptoms. I think this is very helpful for our daily life. Moreover, the author also shared many specific cases, which are easy to understand at a glance. I would recommend it to other relatives and friends.
A medical book, a very magical medical book. It is a medical book from ancient times. It is the only existing medical book in China before the Qing Dynasty that mainly focuses on oral diseases and also covers diseases of the five senses. Xue Ji in the Ming Dynasty wrote it in the eighth year of Jiajing. The introduction to oral diseases is very detailed and specific. After reading it, I gained a lot and gained a broader, more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the related fields. It is a very good medical book. I recommend friends who are interested in this to take a look! !
The earliest extant medical work focusing on oral disease syndromes and also on diseases of the five senses. The treatment of oral diseases in the book focuses on the spleen and stomach, which are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and uses the Zangxiang theory, syndrome differentiation of the three burners, and the transmission and transformation of the six meridians to analyze the etiology, pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation, and treatment. Some of the theories in the book, such as paying attention to individual differences among patients, examining causes and treating diseases, are of great reference for today's dental medicine. It is of great value for studying the development history of early oral medicine in my country.
It's so practical, it's the essence
This book is classic and practical, with many cases and clarity. The ancients had great wisdom, which is helpful to people today.
