What does your tongue say about the toxins in your organism? |
|
Do you know that by looking at your tongue you can ascertain whether you have problems with your liver, how your digestive system works and whether you worry too much.
A detailed inspection of the tongue may reveal how your entire organism works, what are its critical points and the affected organs which need urgent health.
This is not a trick, but a detailed tongue examination, a method that the Chinese folk medicine and Ayurveda have been practiced for millennia.
The tongue is a mirror of the organism, and individual parts of the tongue, according to the folk medicine, correspond to different organs.
A change of colour or tissue of the tongue or layers of deposits on certain parts will tell you about the condition of your body, where the toxins accumulate and what you must pay attention to.
Although a first-class tongue analysis requires skills, knowledge and many years of experience, you can discover certain health problems on your own using this simple test.
It is essential you perform it in the morning, as soon as you wake up, before doing your morning hygiene routine.
What a healthy tongue looks like
For starters, it is essential to know what a healthy tongue looks like. It has several characteristics. Take a good look:
-
Colour – pink, without darker or paler areas. This colour indicates a healthy blood flow.
-
Shape – elastic, flexible. Its surface is smooth, not cracked, swollen or thinned. A trembling, flaccid or excessively rigid tongue suggests problems in the organism.
-
Deposits – a healthy tongue either has none or barely visible white deposits. Strongly visible white deposits indicate toxins and an excessive consumption of dairy products, while brown, gray or dark spots are a sign of problems with digestion, kidneys or liver.
-
Moistness – a healthy tongue is mildly moist; neither dry or too wet.
-
Veins under the tongue – not enlarged, barely visible, brightly coloured. Dark blue or violet veins suggest a health problem.

On the mirror image of the surface of the tongue you can see how the traditional medicine associates it with the functioning of individual organs.
Discover your weak points
1. Deposits on the back of the tongue
If they are near the root of the tongue, they are the a sign of problems with digestion and indicate toxins or parasites in the bowels.
2. Deposits on the edges of the tongue, near the root
They indicate the presence of toxins, kidney overload and possibly a beginning of a severe illness. Besides white, the deposits may be darker, brown or very bright.
3. Empty centre of the tongue, surrounded by deposits or red points
The central area is red, surrounded by deposits and sometimes marked by a small pit.
This area indicates a sensitive heart in both senses. In the physical sense, it is a sign that the bloodstream or the whole orginism is full of toxins.
In the spiritual sense, it is a sign of unresolved sorrow, despair and depression manifested throughout the organism.
4. Reddish spots on the edges, near the tip of the tongue
These indicate problems with the lungs and difficulty breathing. They may mean a beginning of depression.
5. White or brownish dots on the edges of the tongue, near the tip
Suggest problems with the lungs congested by mucus deposits due to an illness like bronchitis.
6. Dark deposits with black dots at the edges, near the tip
An indication of pneumonia and serious problems that require urgent attention.
7. Tongue with tooth marks
A sign of weakened digestion that prevents the body from using the nutrients from the foods.
The cause may be a food allergy, an inflammation in the digestive tract, poor nutrition etc.
Toxins, which linger in the body due to poor digestion cause the tongue to be enlarged, due to which tooth marks appear on it.
8. White deposits on the centre of the tongue
They point at the toxins in the bowels.
9. White deposits or a red area in the centre of the tongue.
Reveals impurities and accumulated toxins in the small intestine or the whole digestive system which struggles.
10. Cracks or furrows on the tongue.
Poor digestion, sluggish functioning of the small and large intestines and problems with the nervous system.
It can mean intolerance of certain foods, like those containing gluten. They are also a sign that the body has a hard time coping with fear, insomnia or anxiety.
11. Trembling tongue
Sign of emotional instability – fears, uncertainty and anxiety.
12. A line in the middle of the tongue
A line stretching along the middle of the tongue, from the root almost all the way to the tip may suggest problems with the spine related to emotional issues.
It is a sign of an accumulated tension and stress which has a physical manifestation.
Sometimes it runs along the whole tongue, and sometimes only on a portion of the tongue, in which case it points at a particular organ affected with stress.
13. Deposits by the edge of the tongue on the right side
Indicate problems with the spleen, whose function is weakened due to illness or toxins. They may be brighter, white, but also darker, brownish.
Sometimes they may be mistaken for stains left after drinking coffee or tea, but such stains disappear quickly.
Deposits or stains that stay on the surface longer indicate problems with internal organs.
14. Deposits by the edge of the tongue on the left side
Sign of problems with liver and urinary bladder. They may also indicate an overload with toxins, fats or medications.
They may be brighter, white, but also darker. By all means control your liver function.
15. Enlarged tongue
It may be a sign of problems with the thyroid and water retention, as well as toxins the body can't eliminate.
