Tongue to Lung Connection

8/14/2014

The area in the front of the tongue, right behind the tip, belong to the Lungs. What I generally look for in tongue diagnosis are: size, color, shape, coating and the thickness of the coating as well as cracks or fissure cracks and the their locations where the coating and cracks appear.

The Lungs are easily affected by external pathogens such as a common cold. Here are a few signs to look for on your tongue: 
  • White coating: Wind cold, with this you may also notice a stiff neck or headache
  • Yellow tint: Heat cold, this is a progression of the aforementioned, you may also experience sore throat and warmth
  • Swollen: This is a sign of Lung Qi deficiency, refer to this blog post to find which foods to add to your diet that support the lung. 

With a quick look at your tongue each morning you'll begin to notice changes; you can see a lot about your health, reflections of your diet, and guidance for what your body needs.
