Diagnosing Illness through Tongue Observation in Traditional Chinese Medicine
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the tongue is viewed as a reflection of the body's health, revealing vital information about internal organs, tissues, and systems. This method is especially useful in cases where patients cannot communicate effectively.
Key Steps in Tongue Diagnosis:
- Shape Observation: Analyzing the tongue’s shape, including thickness, size, and contour, helps identify illness locations and types.
- Color Analysis: The tongue's color varies from light pink to dark red and beyond, indicating health status. Light pink is considered normal, while other colors suggest potential issues.
- Coating Inspection: The texture and color of the tongue’s coating, or "moss," are evaluated. A thin, white coating is healthy; other colors and thicknesses may signal ailments.
- Comprehensive Assessment: By examining the tongue’s overall appearance and identifying specific signs like red spots, practitioners can pinpoint health problems and recommend tailored herbal treatments.
