It is a pity if you don't know about this free way to strengthen your body. It can prevent aging and strengthen your internal organs.

The tongue is a protrusion on the floor of the mouth that is made of smooth muscle. Although our instinctive speaking and swallowing are the result of tongue activities. But other activities of the tongue have even greater benefits.

Benefits of tongue movement

The tongue is connected to the heart, and tongue movement is relatively beneficial to the heart. A pale tongue generally indicates insufficient blood in the heart; a red tip of the tongue indicates heat in the heart; an inflexible tongue is more likely to indicate vascular sclerosis; and numbness on one side of the tongue could be a sign of a stroke. Tongue exercise can not only prevent and treat the above symptoms, but also enhance the sense of taste and language functions. At the same time, the mouth also moves along with the movement. Therefore, this is the function that can enhance the sense of taste.

Gently press the tip of your tongue against the upper palate, and then use the tip of your tongue to circle the upper hard palate 36 times forward and reverse. When your mouth is full of saliva, swallow it in three times. When swallowing, there should be gurgling sound, sending the food directly to Dantian. If you practice this method for a long time, the evil fire in the five internal organs will not burn, the Qi and blood will flow smoothly, and the meridians will be regulated, which has the effect of promoting longevity.

Then, use the tip of your tongue to lick the upper and lower lip cheeks 36 times, in the same order as above. When your mouth is full of saliva, swallow it in three times. This method can strengthen teeth, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and reduce body weight and eliminate diseases in the long run.

Open your mouth wide and stick the tip of your tongue forward as far as possible so that the root of your tongue feels stretched. When the tongue can't be extended any further, retract it into your mouth. Repeat this 36 times in total. After your mouth is filled with saliva, swallow it in three times. This method benefits the five internal organs and can restore youth and maintain beauty over time.

5. Wash the Huachi

Close the lips lightly and let the tongue move back and forth in the mouth driven by the root of the tongue for a total of 36 times. When saliva is produced, you should gargle with a sound. After the saliva fills your mouth, swallow it three times and use your mind to guide it into your dantian. This is called "Jade Liquid Returning to the Elixir". This method of jade liquid irrigates the five internal organs and moisturizes the limbs. After a long time, the body will become light and healthy, and the steps will be light and brisk.

6. Rub the tongue column

Then use the tips of the thumb and index finger of one hand to reach into the mouth, pinch the tongue pillar and gently rub it for a moment.

Tongue training for health care

Do it once every morning, noon and evening. Over time it can strengthen the functions of various parts of the internal organs, making you radiant and healthy.

After the tongue exercises, saliva will be produced in the mouth. The tongue is connected to the heart, and the heart belongs to fire. The tongue produces saliva, which is the balance of water and fire. Therefore, the saliva in the mouth should be swallowed into the stomach to enhance the function of the spleen and stomach (the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, and fire can produce earth).
