Su Liang Ku , professor at the Institute of Chinese Medicine says, we observe the tongue to determine the body's constitution and the disease conditions and even including what kind of illness of disease is involved. At the Florida Institute of Chinese medicine, practitioners look at patients' tongues for color , size, texture, and coating. Angie Cseh is treated regularly at the clinic for her migraine headaches . She says at first she was uncomfortable sticking out her tongue. But the practitioners help relieve her headaches, so she agrees to it.
Practitioners look for many different things.
Too pale, you may be anemic. Too red or dark you may be fighting a fever. In Chinese medicine a tongue with a brown, yellow, even black coating may indicate health issues in other parts of your body. It may be worth a moment in the mirror to let your tongue tell you how you're feeling. In Pinellas county , Yolanda Fernandez Newschannel 8.
