A series of pathological changes in human body caused by deficiency of vitality are called qi deficiency, which is related to the fierce social competition, excessive pressure and unhealthy lifestyle endured by modern people. In addition, due to the high temperature and humidity in Guangdong, especially in summer, the weather is a little hot and there is too much heat in the body, which is very easy to produce wet poison.

Common symptom 2: "Yin deficiency" Yin deficiency refers to the deficiency of yin fluid such as essence, blood and body fluid. Because essence and blood and body fluid belong to yin, it is called "yin deficiency", which is more common in patients with yin internal friction after a long illness or fever. Dr. Chen from the Center for the Prevention of Diseases of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that fire due to yin deficiency is too strong to make a fire, but the blazing fire will burn vaginal fluid, which is even more virtual, and the two often affect each other. Tongue manifestations: the tongue is slightly red in color, tender in quality, smooth and lacking in body fluid, with no or little tongue coating, and looks drier than some. No matter what the disease is, seeing this tongue picture shows that there are signs of disappearance of vaginal fluid in the body and serious loss of body fluids.

Mastering some basic skills of "reading the tongue" can help you find physical diseases as soon as possible? "Come on, let me see your tongue." I believe that many citizens have done the "prescribed action" of "sticking out their tongues" when they go to the hospital to see Chinese medicine practitioners. In fact, "tongue diagnosis" is an important part of "observation" in traditional Chinese medicine. Because Chinese medicine believes that "the tongue is the seedling of the heart" and "the fur is the root of stomach qi", the tongue body is connected with the meridians of the lungs, heart, liver, spleen and kidney. If there are lesions in human internal organs, can they be directly reflected on the tongue? Therefore, learning to read the tongue can help you better understand my health. A few days ago, our reporter specially visited several experts from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and taught them the basic methods of tongue diagnosis, so that our readers can also make good use of the "barometer" of physical activity to see tongue diseases. Look at the tongue: stick out your tongue and relax. "Normal people's tongues are soft and elastic, red in color and full of vitality. There is a thin layer of tongue coating on the surface of the tongue, which is white, moderately dry and wet, and the blood vessels at the root of the tongue are moderately smooth, and the length is not more than the root of the tongue 1/2. "
Chinese medicine divides the tongue into the tip of the tongue, the middle of the tongue, the root of the tongue and the side of the tongue. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the tip of the tongue belongs to the heart and lung, the middle of the tongue belongs to the spleen and stomach, the root of the tongue belongs to the kidney, and both sides of the tongue belong to the liver and gallbladder. Observation of tongue should be carried out from the aspects of tongue quality, tongue coating, tongue bud and blood vessels and meridians of tongue root. Among them, the tongue quality includes the size, shape, color, thickness, hardness and surface cracks of the tongue; Tongue coating includes color, moisture, thickness and whether there are fur spots; The vein of tongue root blood vessels is mainly observed from the length and thickness; Tongue buds mainly depend on size and color. "When observing the state of the tongue, you must be calm and calm, and it is best to choose sufficient natural light."
First of all, facing the light, let the light shine directly on the mouth, so as not to affect the identification of tongue quality and tongue coating color.
Pay attention when sticking out your tongue. You should stick to it slowly, not too fast and too nervous. After pasting, put it on your lips and try to relax. Paying attention to the shape of the tongue when it sticks out is actually an observation of the state of the tongue. The basic knowledge of Gankun in the rookie's tongue A. The method of sticking out the tongue is also learned. It must be carried out in sufficient light. When you spit out your tongue, you should be natural, relax your tongue body, make your tongue flat, with the tip of your tongue slightly downward, and open your mouth as wide as possible (but not too hard) to fully expose your tongue body. Don't scrape the tongue coating easily, because it is easy to see the real tongue coating. B. Look at the tongue in order. Generally look at the tip of the tongue, then at the middle and side of the tongue, and finally at the root of the tongue. At the same time, look at the color of the tongue body (tongue quality) and the thickness of the tongue coating. C. Normal tongue picture What kind of normal tongue picture can be summarized into six words: "The tongue is red and the coating is thin and white". Specifically, the tongue is red and bright, the tongue is moist, the tongue body is moderate in size, soft and elastic, and the tongue coating is even, thin and white. D. What is tongue coating? Tongue coating refers to a thin layer of dirt covering the surface of the tongue. The formation of tongue coating is normally caused by stomach qi, so the tongue coating of healthy people is thin and white. Tongue quality includes the size, shape, color, thickness, hardness and surface cracks of the tongue. If you still find that your face is red, your throat is dry, you like to drink cold drinks, your mouth is festering, and your heart is agitated, then your symptoms are the manifestation of "yin deficiency and fire flourishing" in traditional Chinese medicine. Pay attention to keep the indoor air moist and avoid spicy and greasy food. Ophiopogon japonicus, South Flower and Boat-fruited Sterculia can be used as tea on weekdays, and honeysuckle can be added for those with severe sore throat. You can also use the bloodletting method of stabbing the back or ear tip to clear the fire. Or rub your hands and feet. If you still have breath, you should eat more digestible foods, such as vegetables and fruits, and eat less greasy and fried foods. It's best not to drink or smoke. If the tongue is pale and white with fur, afraid of cold, sore all over, no sweat, stuffy nose, runny nose, sore throat and cough up white and thin phlegm, this is what Chinese medicine calls "wind-cold cold", and the pores are blocked, as long as you sweat to dispel the cold. If there is no tongue coating on your tongue and there are many "cracks" on your tongue surface, then there are cracks on your tongue. If there is no discomfort, it is physiological and does not need treatment. For example, after a serious illness, there is a cleft tongue, red tongue without coating, discomfort, etc., which belongs to yin deficiency and needs medical treatment. Tongue coating flowers You find that some parts of the tongue have thin coating, some parts are smooth without coating, and there are irregular "map-like" pieces. This is called "map tongue", but don't be nervous. If you don't feel sick, you don't need treatment, it's just a physiological condition. If you have stomach trouble or other chronic diseases for a long time, you have never seen such a situation before, and the "map tongue" is mostly yin deficiency. While treating the primary disease, you can drink American ginseng tea (9 grams per day, brewed with boiling water and frequently drunk) to promote self-healing. There are teeth marks on the tongue. You find that the tongue body is fat, the tongue coating is thin and white, and there are teeth marks on the tongue. This may be because the transport function of the spleen and stomach is relatively insufficient, and the digestion and absorption of food are prone to obstacles. Eat less greasy and indigestible food, eat more vegetables, fruits and light food, and exercise properly. If there are still symptoms such as pallor, cold, cold limbs, listlessness, backache and leg weakness, loose stool, frequent occurrence and edema of lower limbs. It may belong to spleen and kidney yang deficiency. First of all, pay attention to keep warm. You should cook chicken soup and bone soup on weekdays, and it is better to add yam, medlar and yellow flowers to the soup. The tongue coating is black and sticky. Isn't that a serious illness? If the tongue coating is black but the tip of the tongue is normal and reddish, and there is no other obvious discomfort, it may belong to the "staining" situation. You may have eaten some colored food or taken some drugs; When taking antibiotics, sometimes there will be black moss. The above situation is not morbid, so don't be nervous. However, some patients with serious stomach problems should be vigilant when observing black moss. If the tip of the tongue is crimson or even blue, it means that the condition is getting worse and you should go to the hospital.
