Friends who often watch my videos know that there are many fans who will post their own tongue images and want me to distinguish between them, the most common of which are tooth mark tongue and cracked tongue, and even some people are very panicked when they see their tongue looking "strange", for fear that it is a sign before a serious illness comes, so today Dr. Jia will make a special video to explain the tooth mark tongue and cracked tongue to you clearly!
First of all, the tooth mark tongue is generally formed by the weakness of the spleen and the inability to transport water, resulting in the flooding of water and spreading to the surface of the tongue, resulting in the swelling of the tongue and the pressure of the teeth on the side of the tongue. To put it in layman's terms, it means that the tongue has been soaked in water for too long, and the tongue has been swollen and has been pressing the teeth, which is the tooth mark tongue formed.
But is the tooth mark tongue necessarily caused by spleen deficiency? Not necessarily, we say that the kidney is also responsible for the metabolism of water, so when the kidney yang is insufficient and cannot vaporize the water, it will also lead to the flooding of water, and then the formation of tooth marks and tongues. So how do you distinguish between the two?
Teach you an easy way to see where your tongue is hollowed.
If it is partially sunken in the tongue, it means that the spleen and stomach are deficient, then at this time, you can refer to a Shenling Baizhu pill;
If the base of the tongue is partially sunken, it means that the kidney qi is insufficient, and at this time, you can refer to a Jisheng kidney qi pill.
Then let's talk about the cracked tongue, there are generally two cases of the cracked tongue. One is the lack of fluid, just like cracks will occur when the land is dry, the tongue of such people is generally relatively dry, easy to dry mouth and thirst, and no matter how much water you drink, you can't quench your thirst. There is also a situation of insufficient sperm and blood, can not nourish the tongue, such people will also be accompanied by malaise, yellowish complexion, lips and nails are relatively light in color, but also easy to dizziness, tinnitus forgetfulness, etc., at this time you can refer to a turtle and deer two immortal gum to supplement the essence and blood.
Of course, there are a small number of people who are born with cracks in their tongues, and as long as they have no discomfort symptoms, they can ignore it. Well, that's all for today's content, I hope it can help you, and we'll see you next time!
