Where's the heart on the tongue?

What are some symptoms the tongue would express to show you the heart needs attention? If you observe your tongue is more pale or thin than usual it is showing you symptoms of Qi and/or heart-blood deficiency. 

The converse of this is if the tongue appears purple, this means the heart-blood is stagnate. 

What to do? Traditional Chinese Medicine is dynamic, there are many ways you are empowered to improve your health. 
1. Make an acupuncture appointment, in the East there is much more emphasis on preventative care, acupuncture is a great way to give your body a tune up and balance. 
2. Take a look at yesterday's recipe post, it's heart healthy and delicious! 
3. Review the heart ingredients graphic to improve your nutrition patterns. 

We hope this this blog continues to empower you to be your healthiest you! 

Looking at your tongue every morning will begin to tell you wonders about your body and your health. In the graphic to the left you can see that the tip of the tongue is the portion that corresponds to your heart.
