Tongue color diagnosis

Tongue color diagnosis

In Eastern philosophy, they believe that the tongue offers a map to our organs,” Not as much emphasis is put on this in Western philosophy, but the tongue can tell you a lot about your overall health.

In early Chinese medicine the belief was that if the tongue is:

-- white with a cracked coating, you may have a digestive disorder.

-- gray or brownish gray you may have stomach or intestinal problems.

-- yellow or yellow green, you may have liver or gallbladder issues.

-- white with a reddish border, you may have a toxic colon.

-- coated with red spots, it could be an indicator of heart problems.

-- turning from white to yellow at the root you may have kidney problems.

-- white you may be releasing toxins.

While western dentists may not heed the same philosophy,the tongue is a structure that dental experts use as part of an early indicator of nutritional deficiencies, stress and gum disease. Regular dental exams do more than just check for cavities/decay.
