The normal tongue is pale red. If there is internal heat, the color will become darker and appear red and crimson. As the saying goes: take a photo every day and you will know if you are sick. A healthy person, looking at his tongue in the mirror, should have a soft and moist tongue, red tongue, fine and even particles, white fur and moderate humidity. This is called "red tongue and thin white fur". However, after illness, the quality of tongue coating and tongue coating will change. Therefore, regular observation of the tongue picture can help us understand the health status and carry out self-care and conditioning in time. Nowadays, when I go to the hospital to see Chinese medicine practitioners over middle age, many doctors regard tongue reading as more important than pulse-taking. After asking about the symptoms, they often say, "Let me see your tongue." In this regard, Professor Guo from the Department of Gastroenterology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine explained that Chinese medicine believes that "the tongue is the seedling of the heart" and "the coating is the root of stomach qi", and the tongue body is connected with the meridians of the lungs, heart, liver, spleen and kidney. If there are lesions in human internal organs, they can be directly reflected on the tongue. An experienced doctor looks at the tongue just like watching the ups and downs of the moon. He can know the severity of your illness at a glance, the deficiency, cold and heat in your body. Traditional Chinese medicine divides the tongue into three parts: the tip of the tongue reflects the changes of the heart and lungs, the middle and sides of the tongue reflect the situation of the liver and spleen, and the root of the tongue prompts the pathological changes of the kidney. However, Professor Guo said that Chinese medicine and western medicine have different heart, liver and kidney functions, so there is no need to apply them rigidly. Professor Guo said that people with yellow tongue coating and red tongue (that is, red tongue) have bitter taste and dry throat, which belongs to heat-induced internal heat. Heart meridian has fever, yellow tongue coating and red tongue accompanied by impatience, insomnia and dreaminess, and most of them are heart meridian fever. Patients can use some drugs to clear the heart fire at this time. Such as bamboo leaves and lotus seeds soaked in water, when drinking tea frequently every day. If you don't sleep well, you can cook porridge with lily, lotus plumule and jujube kernel. For sores on the mouth and tongue, 60 grams of wild chrysanthemum can be used. After frying, you can eat several times a day. Guo said that there was an old cadre who had sores on his mouth and tongue for many years and used many methods to treat them. With this little prescription, he will be fine in a month. Patients with damp-heat bladder, red tongue and yellow greasy tongue coating, accompanied by unclean urine, or feel fever and pain when urinating, are mostly damp-heat bladder, that is, urinary tract infection of western medicine, which can be used as tea after decoction. Liver meridian has red tongue and red edge, Huang Gan coating, red eyes, swelling and pain, or often sty. Because there is fire in the liver meridian, rhubarb processed with wine can be soaked in water to drink. Guo believes that rhubarb is cold and has the effect of stopping diarrhea. After processing with wine, rhubarb can be drawn to the tap to relieve the burning fire. The lung meridian is hot, the tongue is slightly red, and the thin yellow fur indicates that the lung meridian is hot, which is common in the early stage of cold or pharyngitis. Dry stool, Rabdosia rubescens and rhubarb can be slightly fried and used as tea every day. You can make tea with boat-fruited Sterculia, Ophiopogon japonicus and chrysanthemum for sore throat, and honeysuckle, Sophora Tonkinensis and Arctium lappa for severe symptoms, and constipation will turn yellow. Professor Guo said that Chinese medicine has the saying that "lung and large intestine are exterior and interior". In the early stage of viral cold, the method of removing the fire of lung meridian with heat toxin in large intestine can often receive good curative effect.
