Viewing tongue diagnosis diseases from tongue diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine

5 purple tongue When the whole tongue is found to be purple-red, or the purple color is crimson, dull, or the purple color is blue, it is purple tongue. In contrast, the deeper and darker red tongue is called purple tongue; A lavender tongue is called a pale blue tongue. If purple (or blue) spots appear locally on the tongue surface and do not rise above the tongue surface, the large ones are called ecchymosis and the small ones are called ecchymosis. These conditions are usually caused by extreme heat, supercooling, blood stasis or alcoholism. Patients with purple tongue can observe their tongue carefully. If they find that the tongue is purplish red or purple, the tongue coating is yellow and dry, mostly hot; If the tongue color tends to be lavender or dark purple and moist, it is often weak yang, weak qi and blood circulation, or yin cold. In addition, patients with alcoholism are swollen due to the inherent toxicity of alcohol and can see purple tongues.

6 Blue Tongue The whole tongue is even blue, and the ancients described it as the tongue of a buffalo. Bluetongue disease is more common in the syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis, controlling yin cold and blood stasis, which is caused by yin cold overflow, Yang Qi obstruction and poor blood coagulation. The common symptoms of Yin-cold syndrome are chills, cold limbs and severe physical pain. Those caused by blood stasis are often accompanied by signs of blood stasis such as local swelling and bruising, tingling and refusal to press. In addition, bluetongue can also be seen in some congenital heart diseases, or drugs, food poisoning and other diseases. If found, we should pay enough attention to it.

Tongue color is related to qi and blood circulation and ups and downs. It usually reflects the pathological changes of internal organs to some extent. It can be said that it is a mirror that can reflect diseases. But it needs a comprehensive understanding and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment.
