The tongue is connected to the viscera through the meridians, which is the "barometer" of our health, and Chinese medicine often judges whether the qi, blood, yin and yang are balanced by observing the color and shape of the tongue. Today, let's learn it through three tongues, and you can compare it to see if you have similar problems, so that you can adjust it in time.
Let's look at the first tongue first, the tongue is pale and white, and there is no blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is mostly due to the deficiency of the body and coldness, the lack of yang qi and the deficiency of blood. First of all, the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, just like when we usually cook, the gas is insufficient, the heat is too small, and the food that enters the body cannot be well transported and absorbed into qi and blood. If the biochemistry of qi and blood is insufficient, the tongue cannot be nourished upward, and the color of the tongue will become pale and bloodless.
Not only the tongue, but also the blood and qi cannot supply to other parts of the body, and various symptoms will occur, such as dizziness, fatigue, dry hair, indigestion, insomnia and forgetfulness. If you also have this kind of tongue, you should pay attention to strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi and blood in time, you can refer to Angelica Sinensis Four Reverse Tang plus minus conditioning.
The second tongue was obviously much redder than the first, but it wasn't normal, like a fire-burned redness. This situation is mostly caused by the loss of yin fluid in our body, the yin does not control the yang, and the void fire is endogenous. In fact, it is the fluid and blood flowing in our body, which has the function of moisturizing and reducing dryness, which is equivalent to the lubricating oil of a machine.
Now people stay up late, the most likely to damage the body's yin fluid, after a long time, yin deficiency generates internal heat, this heat runs upward, constantly burning our tongue, the tongue will become red, less moss. At the same time, it is also accompanied by problems such as heat and dryness, irritability, dry mouth and bitter mouth, and severe night sweats at night. If you have these symptoms of yin deficiency, you must first determine what type of yin deficiency you belong to, kidney yin deficiency, liver yin deficiency or lung yin deficiency, and then proceed to syndrome differentiation and conditioning.
In the end, the tongue is not yellow, but a thick layer of yellow moss attached to the tongue, which is a reminder that there is dampness and heat in the body. When our body suffers from the invasion of external heat, or our own body is damp and heated, the tongue is prone to yellow and greasy moss.
The dampness and heat in the body are heavy, people will also feel irritable, dry mouth and bitter mouth, yellow urine, and male friends will have scrotum dampness and heavy odor.
That's all for today. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, if there is anything uncomfortable in the body, you must first go to the offline regular hospital for syndrome differentiation, do not blindly use medicine, we will see you next time.
