What common sense do you need to know to judge health by looking at your tongue?

Observing tongue coating is an important means to judge diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Tongue changes rapidly and obviously, just like a mirror of internal organs, which can reflect the occurrence, development and prognosis of diseases. A healthy tongue should be reddish with a thin white coating. If you are exposed to cold, hot or stagnant food, the tongue coating will change differently.

Then how can we judge our health by the change of our tongue?

Red tongue means that the color of the tongue is darker than the normal red color, and the tip of the tongue corresponds to the heart and lungs. If the tip of the tongue is red, it means that the heart is strong, the blood flow is strong, and the blood vessels in the tongue are congested.

At the same time, it will be accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth, irritability, restless sleep and yellow urine.

Solution: You can eat more food with clear fire, such as bitter gourd and celery ... Avoid spicy food, drink more water to reduce fire, or you can relieve it by massage, such as pushing your middle finger from the bottom of your finger.

The second tongue coating is thick and greasy, even yellow.

If the tongue coating is white and thick, or even yellow, the taste in the mouth is heavy, and the stool smells bad, it means that there is food accumulation (in a few cases, it is related to the oral environment). The accumulation of food often leads to symptoms such as loss of appetite, anorexia, bad breath, abdominal distension, stomach discomfort, restless sleep, fever in hands and feet, and even fever.

Solution: Take more exercise, walk for an hour after meals, and the diet should be digestible, such as rice and oats ... Wipe your mouth clean. You can wipe the oral mucosa with clean gauze or cotton ball dipped in water.

Reminder: Tongue coating corresponds to human internal organs. If there are white spots on the tongue, the color of the tongue changes, and you are not sure what it is, it is better to go to the hospital to consult a doctor ~
