Anyone who has seen Chinese medicine may have this experience. Besides taking your pulse, you should stick out your tongue to show your husband. Why should Chinese medicine see the tongue when seeing a doctor? Chinese medicine experts point out that looking at the tongue is the "tongue diagnosis" of Chinese medicine, and looking at the tongue can distinguish all diseases.
What is the relationship between seeing the tongue and treating diseases? Looking at the tongue, Chinese medicine is called "tongue diagnosis". Tongue is an organ hidden in the mouth and easily exposed on the body surface. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lesions of the five internal organs can often be reflected on the tongue. How can Chinese medicine judge diseases according to the manifestations on the tongue?
Chinese medicine observes the tongue coating, one is to see the thickness, thinness, dryness, smoothness, greasy and sticky of the tongue coating, and the other is to observe the different color changes of the tongue coating, such as yellow, white, black and gray. Then, according to the change of fur color, judge whether the disease is in the outside or in the room, and whether the disease is cold or hot.
Normal people's tongue coating is a thin layer of white coating. If you look closely, you can see a tiny structure like hair, just like a layer of newly unearthed tender grass. Tongue coating has been growing, but it will automatically fall off because of eating and other reasons. Therefore, the tongue coating always maintains a normal thickness and structure. Because there is a proper amount of saliva in the mouth, the surface of the tongue coating is moist. These are all manifestations of healthy people's tongue coating. If the tongue coating grows more and falls off less, and the tongue coating becomes thicker, it is pathological.
