What my Tongue says about Me?

Comment by Archived User

Please I need the answer, I must drink herbs. I noticed that my tongue pale in the morning, and a red in the evening.

Thanks

Besides your main diagnosis of premature ovarian failure... what are all of your related symptoms? Have you had your thyroid function checked by a western doctor? (if not, I would...). Your tongue shows signs of damp-heat. The idea is to best decide whether you have full or empty heat issues along with stagnation. A local Chinese Medicine practitioner will need to be seen to find the right diagnosis with these mixed symptoms. Pulse diagnosis and supporting symptoms would help a practitioner come up with a clear diagnosis.

Hallo Samal,

What is outstanding in your tongue here is especially the Toxic Heat.

You have Jing deficency ( back of the tongue) and the symptoms you mentioned are also indicating Liver troubles.

Tongue is swollen and that indicates that Dampness had turned into Phlegm.

So Phlegm + Stagnation is always an allarming combination. Both Spleen and Liver are here involved. Here there are no specific signs indicating Yin or Yang deficency problems.

To clarify the Toxic Heat origin my question is: at the time you wrote this post ( one and a half year ago) on which kind of medication you were ?
