Can Feng You Jing (Mentholated Oil) Treat Oral Ulcers?
Disease description:
My cousin developed mouth ulcers, and I recommended she use Fengyoujing (a traditional Chinese topical remedy) for treatment. Would this be effective?

Dr. Zhang Liwen
Feng You Jing (Wind Oil Essence) cannot treat oral ulcers. Oral ulcers may arise from “excess internal heat” (a traditional Chinese medicine concept), but Feng You Jing does not possess heat-clearing or fire-purging properties; therefore, it is not suitable for treating this condition. For effective treatment, consult a physician and use appropriate medications—such as Xi Gua Shuang (Watermelon Frost) spray—as directed.
In daily life, avoid consuming excessively hard foods over prolonged periods.
