1, cause analysis
(1) Clinically, people's tongue coating will show white symptoms after mild illness or early onset. Among the common types of diseases, upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and acute bronchitis can lead to whitish tongue coating in the early stage of people's illness. Generally, it is because the symptoms of early patients have not affected the whole body's qi and blood circulation, but are preferentially manifested in the tongue.
(2) For patients with wet water or sputum in the body, there are usually symptoms of whitish tongue coating. Clinically, these diseases mainly include: hepatic ascites, chronic bronchitis, pleural effusion, chronic nephritis and so on. Generally, it is because the patient's oral saliva secretes a lot, and the keratinocyte infiltration of the tongue makes it swell. In addition, there are obstacles in lymphatic reflux of tongue tissue, which leads to the appearance of new keratinocytes on the surface of tongue, which leads to the whitening and thickening of tongue coating.
2, conditioning method
(1) The tongue coating turns white. If the situation is not too serious, we can usually improve it through daily diet and life care. Try to keep a light diet, increase the intake of water, various nutrients and vitamins, and don't eat too full or too fast. Bitter gourd and other ingredients with heat-clearing and fire-removing effects can be eaten in moderation when the tongue coating turns white. Rinse your mouth in time after each meal, and brush your teeth in the morning and evening with clear water, light salt water or mouthwash. Don't forget to clean the tongue coating when brushing your teeth, and clean up the food residue and bacteria left on the tongue coating.
(2) If it still doesn't get better and disappear after the above nursing, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If it is caused by diseases, such as various inflammations, it is common for the tongue coating to turn white during the onset and recovery of the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out effective treatment for the disease itself in order to effectively alleviate the symptoms of tongue coating whitening. However, Chinese medicine believes that the whitening of tongue coating has a great relationship with stomach fire, and drugs such as Niuhuang Jiedu Tablet can be taken to reduce stomach fire. However, this medicine may have adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, so you should know clearly before taking it.
3. Preventive measures
After the above detailed introduction, I believe everyone already knows what to do with white tongue coating. It should be noted that in normal and healthy people, the tongue coating is slightly thin and white. If so, don't worry too much. But if it is caused by a disease, you need to know how to treat it in time. During the treatment, if it is caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach, we can consider taking Liao Feng Changweikang Granule to improve it. This medicine has an excellent effect on treating thick and white tongue coating, and patients should follow the doctor's advice when using it.
4. How to prevent it
1, the diet should be light
Reduce the intake of meat and fatty foods and eat more digestible foods. If it is difficult to reduce meat, white meat such as fish and chicken can be used instead of red meat such as cattle, sheep and pigs, and white meat is easier to digest. In addition, eat more vegetables, and eat enough vegetables every day, such as celery and rape, to increase gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote digestion.
2. Drink more health porridge
Porridge is the most nourishing for the spleen and stomach, mainly because it is easy to digest, especially eight-treasure porridge and four-black porridge (black beans, black rice, black sesame seeds and coix seed). After all kinds of beans are fully cooked, they are good for the stomach. Among them, fresh peanuts are rich in protein and fat, which can effectively protect the spleen and stomach. Perseverance, the tongue coating will slowly recover.
3. Keep exercising.
If you can keep exercising for half an hour every day, you can strengthen your body's resistance and speed up blood circulation, which is of great benefit to enhancing the function of the spleen and stomach. Exercise should pay attention to methods and combine work and rest. Don't overdo it, or it will damage your health.
Step 4 keep a good mood
When you are in a good mood, your body naturally feels relaxed during eating, and your spleen and stomach will function normally, which is very beneficial to relieve the symptoms of thick and white tongue coating. If you are often unhappy, you will feel great joy and sadness, which will do great harm to your internal organs. So pay attention to relieve stress and don't be a workaholic. After all, health is the capital of revolution.
5. Eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach.
If the spleen and stomach are not harmonious, the tongue coating is easy to be thick. Usually eat more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as apples, which can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, promote fluid production and moisten dryness. Eat more cabbage, spinach, pumpkin, carrots, etc. It is beneficial to spleen and stomach. If you want to increase the efficacy of strengthening the spleen and stomach, you can mix it with ginseng, Poria, Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, licorice and so on. It is better to make medicated diet with food.
