How to judge thick white tongue coating

1. A normal tongue has a thin layer of white fur, which is caused by stomach qi. During the course of the disease, the tongue coating turns white and then disappears, which is a manifestation of insufficient stomach qi and yin, and the gradual decline of qi; but after the white tongue coating falls off, a thin white coating will reappear, which is a manifestation of the retreat of evil and the emergence of positive energy, and the gradual recovery of stomach qi.

2. If the tongue is moist and the wet area is moderate, it is a normal tongue image. Although the patient is sick, the body fluids are not damaged. If it feels moist and slippery, it is called slippery tongue coating, which mostly indicates cold and dampness, or yang deficiency and water retention. If the tongue appears dry and no body fluid is felt when pressed, it is a dry tongue coating, which is usually caused by excessive heat damaging body fluid, depletion of yin fluid, or failure of qi to transform body fluid.

3. The white coating on the tongue changes to spread all over the tongue. The white tongue coating covering the entire tongue is called the whole tongue. When the white tongue coating is distributed on a certain part of the front, back, left or right of the tongue, it is called biased. By observing the distribution of white tongue coating, one can identify the type of disease. The whole tongue coating indicates that dampness is lazy and is often a sign of damp phlegm blocking the middle burner; the white tongue coating is seen on one side of the tongue, which means that the evil is half-exterior and half-interior, or the disease is in the gallbladder and liver; the middle root of the tongue coating is thick and greasy, which is often seen with phlegm or gastrointestinal food stagnation.
