First of all, Tongue diagnosis can judge whether the body’s righteousness is sufficient.
Can you determine what is wrong with the body by Tongue diagnosis?
- Check the body is weak or not
When the body is weak, the tongue image and tongue will change
a. Tongue coating disappears
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stomach Qi produces the tongue coating, and the disappearance of the tongue coating sometimes means that the stomach Qi is weak. Of course, there are other possibilities, such as yin deficiency and heat, the tongue coating will also disappear.
b. Thickened tongue
Thickened tongue coating indicates that the body’s righteousness is insufficient, resulting in aggravation of phlegm and dampness.
c. The color of the tongue is not reddish
If the color of the tongue is not reddish, for example, the color is pale, it may be the performance of blood deficiency, the lack of yang, and so on.
d. inflexible tongue
If we observe that the tongue is trembling, it is usually due to the weakness of righteousness, the lack of yin and fluid, and the internal movement of the liver wind.
A normal person’s tongue is very flexible, and some people struggle to stick it out. This shows that his body’s righteousness has been seriously injured and his illness is relatively serious.
e. The tongue is very thin and dry.
Some people’s tongue is very thin and dry, which also shows that the person’s righteousness has been greatly depleted. When a person’s tongue has the above problems, it all means that righteousness is insufficient, and there are many problems in the body.
- Judge whether the disease in the body is serious.
How to judge? Look at the tongue coating. Whether the evil energy is strong or not, we can see it through the tongue coating.
For example, is there dampness in body? It can be seen through the tongue coating (generally speaking, it is not easy to judge the physique of dampness, and it is not easy to judge by smelling, asking, cutting, etc. The most intuitive way is to look at the tongue).
You can determine whether body dampness is heavy or not. Why? Because dampness is directly linked to the tongue coating when tongue coating is thick and greasy, it means that the dampness is heavy and even turns into phlegm; the tongue coating is clean and refreshing, indicating that the dampness is not so heavy, this is very obvious.
If the tongue is fat, it may be related to moisture. Because the moisture is heavy, the tongue will be fat, which reflects the lack of righteousness from another aspect. For another example, there are heat pathogens and blood stasis in the body, which can be seen by observing the tongue’s color, sublingual veins and tongue coating.
- Check what kind of disease
In TCM theory, the external factors are wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, and internal heat, which are called “external factors and six evils”.
Internal injuries include phlegm, dampness, Blood stasis, etc.. We call them “evil qi”. So, how can we evaluate this evil-qi? To a large extent, it relies on tongue images to help analyze and judge.
4)Judge whether the conditioning method used is correct
Tongue diagnosis can determine how the disease is recovering and how well the health is. How to judge? When we take conditioning measures, such as massage, exercise, and Chinese medicine.
If the tongue image has changed, it means that the physical condition has really begun to improve. If it has not changed, then these conditioning measures may only have a superficial effect. For example, after some people take traditional Chinese medicine, their symptoms are relieved and they feel very good. Still, if they see no change in their tongue’s appearance, It can basically judge that this person will come to see a doctor in a few days. Why?
Because there are still problems in his body, the most common case is people with liver qi discomfort.
The tongue image of liver qi discomfort is not formed in a short day but is produced when people are in a state of bad mood for a long time.
If the person takes a few pairs of Chinese medicine, sleeps well, and his mood improves, but his tongue does not change, it means that he still needs to be conditioned. Moreover, you also need to nurture the mind when conditioning; otherwise, the tongue image will not change.
Tongue diagnosis is the most intuitive way of diagnosis. Sometimes the appearance of the tongue changes quickly. For example, this person has dampness in the body. After taking a few pairs of anti-damp medicine, the tongue’s appearance has changed significantly, and the tongue coating is no longer fat. Does the doctor know what to do next. ?
Other measures will follow, whether it is time to replenish the spleen or something. Therefore, conditioning the body by looking at the tongue is more obvious.
It can help us understand the condition of our body and know how to regulate our body After learning about tongue diagnosis. The intuitiveness and simplicity of tongue diagnosis make it easy for us to master this technique to better protect our bodies and our families.
