Preface

When it comes to illness, many people want to prepare for it. In fact, as long as you learn to look at your tongue in life, you can roughly identify the health status of your body and even diagnose some diseases. We must learn to judge the pathological changes of different organs by observing changes in different parts of the tongue. Traditional Chinese medicine often refers to tongue coating as the "gastroscopy of traditional Chinese medicine", and regards changes in the tongue as a barometer of a person's health.

Normal tongue coating

White moss

It is generally manifested as exterior syndrome and cold syndrome. A thin, white and moist tongue coating is a normal feature of a person's tongue. At the same time, a thin, white coating also indicates that the disease is on the surface of the body and has not penetrated into the interior. The tongue coating is thin, white and overly smooth, which is often seen in symptoms of superficial cold. The tongue coating is thin, white and dry, which indicates superficial heat or infection with dryness. A thick, dry white tongue coating indicates that dampness and turbidity turn into heat and damage body fluids. The tongue is covered with white fur and is not dry to the touch, which is called "powdery white fur" and indicates plague. The tongue coating is white and dry, which is called "rough and cracked tongue coating" and is often seen in febrile diseases. A pale tongue with a white and smooth coating indicates cold syndrome or cold-damp syndrome. The tongue coating is white, smooth and sticky, which is seen in the body with phlegm and dampness or dampness trapped in the spleen. The tongue coating is white, slippery and rotten, which indicates heat accumulation in the stomach. If the tongue coating is white like snowflakes and dry, it is called "snowflake tongue coating", which indicates a cold spleen. If the tongue and mouth are covered with raw cloth, moldy coating, or erosion spots, it is a dangerous sign of stomach qi deficiency and impending extinction of internal organs.

Yellow Moss

Yellow tongue coating indicates internal heat syndrome. If the tongue coating is thin, yellow and dry, it means that the internal heat is excessive and the body fluids are damaged. The tongue coating is yellow, dry and prickly, and there are cracks on the tongue, which indicates that the internal heat is extremely severe, the body fluids are severely damaged, and the internal organs are extremely hot. The tongue coating is thick and greasy, which is usually caused by phlegm heat, food accumulation or internal damp heat. The tongue coating is yellow, smooth and moist, which is a manifestation of yang deficiency.
