What Is Your Tongue Telling You About Your Health?
Did you know that your tongue can actually tell if you are healthy or not? According to ancient Chinese medicine, the appearance of the tongue can reflect the health of your entire body. The look and texture of your tongue can be an indicator of the health of the digestive system, based on the coating and colour of the tongue too.
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN CURE THAT CUT ON YOUR TONGUE
If you want to test your health and want to be sure that you are in a good condition, take this simple test. Stand in front of a mirror, stick out your tongue and look at it carefully from all sides. If you happen to see any spots, seizures or patches on your tongue, it is time to visit a doctor. Ignoring that patch or mark on your tongue can create a lot of other problems in the future, so it is advised to look into it without a delay.
Here is what your tongue is trying to tell you about your health:
A Red Tongue
A glossy, bright red tongue is a sign that your body lacks iron or B12 vitamin. It could also mean that your body is lacking various other vitamins required by the body. This red looking tongue is widely seen in vegetarians as they are more prone to low levels of B12.
Brown Colour Tongue
Brown tongue usually means you are battling bad habits like smoking and alcohol. This brown tongue also causes bad breath or taste abnormalities. To get rid of a brown tongue you need to use a scraper or a tooth brush to clean it out.
Cheese Looking Tongue
If your tongue is white, flaky and cheese like then it is an indication that you have a yeast infection. This is mainly caused by the overproduction of candida. This type of yeast affects people who are diabetic, and who are suffering from autoimmune diseases.
Wrinkled Tongue
A wrinkled tongue is the sign of old age. Fissures and cracks in the tongue develops after a certain age and this only means that your body is getting old. At this point in time it is important to look after dental hygiene as ignoring this can lead to infection within the crevices.
Patches On The Tongue
Painless white patches (called leukoplakia) are caused by an excess growth of cells which is usually seen with people who smoke. For those who don't have the patches could be due to the abrasion of the tooth constantly rubbing against the tongue.
A Sore Tongue
Tongue cancer is one of the raging diseases which is seen in almost every second person in the world. Sores and blisters seen on the tongue is a sign of tongue cancer and should be handled immediately.
Burning Tongue
A burning sensation on the tongue is usually developed from an allergy by certain toothpastes. In some cases, a burning tongue could also indicate that your body is going through that postmenopausal stage.
