What is the cause of hairy tongue coating?

The tongue is very important to us, because it can control the organs and liver functions of the human body. Usually, it is easy for tongue diseases to cause different manifestations of the body's organs. The tongue coating is hairy and white, which is generally considered to be getting angry, but it is not ruled out that it is due to some organ problems.

A white coating on the tongue is not necessarily a sign of disease. It is generally believed to be "getting angry".

This condition often leads to an unpleasant odor in the mouth or even bad breath. It is best to eat a light diet. If this condition persists for a long time, it may be a symptom of a gastrointestinal disease. Drinking the fried jujube in water has obvious curative effect.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the most common reason for thick and greasy tongue coating is not "getting angry", but "stagnation of stomach qi", that is, the decline of the function of the entire digestive system. It is generally seen in people who eat a lot of fish and meat, spicy and sweet food. How to judge whether there is fire at this time?

According to the basic principles of TCM diagnosis, when a thick and greasy tongue coating appears, accompanied by bitter taste in the mouth, sticky mouth, bad breath, mouth sores, thirst, constipation in the lower part of the body, or yellow, red, smelly and hot urine, burning sensation in the anus, or even carbuncle, ulcer, or boil, it is called "fire". If there are no such symptoms, it can only be called "food stagnation". Patients only need to take some fire-purging medicine to help the tongue coating disappear.
