1.Numbness of tongue

1. Poor blood circulation: A large number of patients not only have numbness of the tongue, but also a purple tongue. Experts remind that the appearance of these symptoms indicates blood stasis and poor blood circulation in your body. Under normal circumstances, when a person is in a healthy state, his tongue should be light red with a thin white coating. However, if there is venous congestion or other congestion, the tongue may turn purple and become numb. For example, slow blood flow, increased blood viscosity, twisted capillaries, increased vascular fragility, vasoconstriction and spasm, and lack of oxygen in the blood can all cause numbness of the tongue. 2. Excessive heat: Some patients not only have numbness of the tongue, but also have a deep purple tongue, dry tongue with little saliva. Experts remind that these are typical symptoms of excessive heat and toxicity. But if the tongue is pale purple and moist, it is due to excessive yin and coldness in the body. If the tongue is dark purple or bluish purple, it means that the blood stasis is too severe. In some patients, the blood stasis is relatively mild, and only local purple spots and petechiae on the tongue appear, which means that the blood stasis is relatively mild.
