The tip of the tongue
- the organs of the upper body (heart, lungs, etc).
The middle part of the tongue and lateral side the "mouthpiece" of the middle part of the body (stomach and spleen (middle part), liver and gall bladder (lateral edge).
The root of the tongue - the lower part of the body (kidneys).
Since the most noticeable, medium, part of the language reflects the status of the main digestive organs - the spleen and stomach, the language is considered to be a "mirror of digestion". And this is the opinion not only of Chinese medicine.
It is believed that traditional Chinese diagnosis is only for Chinese therapies (such as acupuncture or moxibustion). But even those who does not consider himself a supporter of Chinese medicine, having the "language" self-diagnosis can specify it in the doctor's office using traditional European methods and to choose a suitable method of treatment.
To explore the language is better in daylight, just after you Wake up. Need maximum (without too much stress pharyngeal muscles - this changes the color of the mucous membrane) to protrude the tongue. Before that you should not brush your teeth, drink, eat, exercise and sorting out the relationship with loved ones.
Normal language looks soft and gentle, his movement is not constrained, the color pink and bloom in normal thin, white and moist. But language can vary depending on time of year and even climate. Summer normal coating on the tongue is slightly thicker than in winter, in addition, it may acquire a yellowish tinge. Autumn bloom is usually thinner, drier and lighter than in the summer. When the self-test, it is important to distinguish between the color of the body language and plaque on it.
First Chinese doctor looking at
the General condition of the language.
Swollen languagesit looks bigger and thicker than normal, can be described as the inflammation of the tissues of the tongue (glossitis), and swelling in the body.
Wrinkled, rough, covered with a large number of grooves
language leads us to suspect that I was dehydrated and exhausted. Likely temperature rise. But if the cracks and grooves of congenital and always visible - so it is not associated with the disease.
Grainy, or "prickly" the language is when it is enlarged or thickened papillae. If thickened papillae- "grain" localized:
- on the tip of your tongue - you need to pay attention to heart and be tested by a cardiologist;
- the edges - worth checking out the liver and gallbladder
- in the middle suffer from stomach and intestines.
"Mirror" language sometimes, when the covering epithelium clusives, and the surface of the tongue is smooth and shiny. This happens when anemia, exhaustion or serious illness of the stomach.
The imprints of the teeth on the lateral sides of the tongue most often indicate a malfunction of the spleen. Sometimes these prints can be seen on the mucosa of the cheeks - then the problems with the spleen can be added liver problems. Possible flatulence, long delay of food in the stomach, chronic fatigue.
In certain diseases is changing
the color of the actual language.
Too light language may indicate anemia or malnutrition. Dark red indicates the probable pneumonia, severe acute infectious disease, high fever caused by infection, ischemia or poisoning. Raspberry language signals of the same disease, that red, but flowing in a more severe form. The darker the shade, the more intense the disease. Purple means may be a severe infectious disease, malfunction of the circulatory system and respiratory system.
Plaque is thinwhen one can see through it body language. It happens when lung diseases caused by external infection that have not yet had time to gain a foothold in the body. A thick coatingthrough which the language itself is not visible, indicates more severe disease in which the infection has already penetrated deep into the body and did conducts its destructive work or gave rise to a chronic condition. Thin, white bloom there is language always is normal. But if it is slightly compacted, it may indicate easy flowing respiratory viral diseases, and chronic diseases in an easy manner. It is possible that begins the inflammatory process in the lungs.
Thick, white bloom indicates the delay of food in the intestine, i.e. about constipation, which have not yet become chronic.
Yellow bloom indicates serious digestive disorders. The more intense the color and thicker the coating, the more serious the disease and the likely consequent accumulation of food in the stomach and intestines.
Grayish bloom says about chronic, quietly flowing diseases of the stomach and intestines. It is also possible dehydration and disruption of the acid-alkaline balance in the organs and tissues (increased acidity).
The dry residue dehydration (possibly due to infection).
Friable plaque: food is not digested and is a heavy load in the stomach.
"Geographic" tongue
(the plaque with spaces): not enough nutritious diet (AU, Amateur diets for weight loss! Teach geography! or have begun to take the protective forces of an organism, it is necessary to pay serious attention to strengthening the immune system.
The absence of plaque: too bad, possible stomach problems.
Visible completely free from plaque Central line language
(track): reduction of the enzymatic activity of the stomach, spleen, pancreas
Help
If you like strong black tea or heavy smoker - relax. Dense, grayish or yellow coating on the tongue indicates, rather, not about diseases, and harmful habits.
To change the color of the tongue can also some foods and medicines. Milk leaves on the tongue white patches, coffee brown, blueberry and beet purple. Too hot food changes the color of the language in bright red, too cold gives a violet shade.
