Just as it has been said “the eyes are the windows to the soul”. The tongue is the window to your body.
The tongue colour tells so much of the properties of the blood:
- If it is too pale it means you may be iron deficient
- If it is too swollen it means you are unable to process your food properly
- If it is too dry it means you are lacking fluids
- If it has a purple and dusky colour it means you may have pain in your body
- If it has a thick yellow coat, it means you may suffer from digestive issues, constipation, diarrhea or a foggy mind
- If it is too red it means you may have a hot body
- If it has a thick white coat you may be feeling very cold inside or have digestive issues
- If it has horizontal cracks it means you may have digestive issues or dryness
- If it has a vertical crack down the center it means you may have digestive issues or anxiety
- If it has a red tip you may have anxiety or sleeping issues
This is why we check out your tongue on your treatment days :)
