What Does Your Tongue Say About Your State Of Health?

If you are feeling under the weather, just stick out your tongue – the state it’s in can present an accurate picture of your health.

The colour, texture and moisture of your tongue can provide signs of what’s going on inside your body.

Many complementary therapies, including Acupuncture and Naturopathy, use the tongue to aid diagnosis.

When examining the tongue, the Acupuncturist looks at the colour of the tongue body, its’ size and shape, the colour and thickness of its’ coating or fur, locations of abnormalities and moistness or dryness of the tongue body and fur.

These signs reveal not only overall states of health but correlate to specific organ functions and disharmonies, especially in the digestive system.

Not all tongue irregularities are indications of disharmony however.

Food and drugs may change the coating or colour of the body of the tongue; for example, coffee yellows the coating.
