What reason is tongue coating thick white

summary

Tongue diagnosis is an important method to diagnose diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the tip of the tongue belongs to the heart and lung, the middle of the tongue belongs to the spleen and stomach, the root of the tongue belongs to the kidney, and both sides of the tongue belong to the liver and gallbladder. The change of tongue quality mainly reflects the deficiency and excess of viscera and the rise and fall of Qi and blood, while the change of tongue coating is mainly used to judge the depth and degree of feeling external evil, as well as the rise and fall of stomach qi. Why is tongue coating thick and white? Let's talk about it.

What reason is tongue coating thick white

First, the color of the tongue coating is normal. The tongue coating is thin and white, tender but not thick, moderate dry and wet, not slippery and not dry. If the Yellow moss, generally speaking in the heat syndrome. Generally speaking, the darker the Yellow moss is, the heavier the heat evil is. The thin, yellow, thick and dry moss means that the interior is hot and the body fluid is damaged. Gray black moss, the main heat syndrome, there are also cold dampness or deficiency cold syndrome. Gray moss is the main internal syndrome, most of which are serious diseases. Black moss is mostly transformed from yellow moss or gray moss, which often indicates that the disease is very serious. White fur is the most common color of tongue fur, which mainly shows exterior syndrome and cold syndrome, but also has interior syndrome and heat syndrome.

Second: the thickness of the tongue coating (the thickness of the coating depends on whether it can see the bottom or not. Thin coating can be seen through the coating, while thick coating can not be seen through the coating.) If thin moss, the main external symptoms, but also the main internal injury qi depression. Tongue light red, thin white fur, more common in normal people or wind cold syndrome. Tongue light, thin white moss, mostly Qi and blood deficiency. The tongue is red, the moss is thin and yellow. If thick moss, the main phlegm, dampness evil, stagnation, "food accumulation within the stop.". If the tongue coating is thick and greasy, accompanied by bitter mouth, sticky mouth, bad breath, sore mouth, thirst, constipation, yellow and red stink heat, burning anus, and even long carbuncle and sore, it is also called "Shanghuo". If the tongue coating turns from thin to thick, it reflects that the disease pathogen enters the interior from the exterior, and the disease condition turns from light to heavy; if the tongue coating turns from thick to white, it indicates that the disease pathogen retreats from the interior to the exterior, and the body gets better.

Third: moistening and dryness of tongue coating (moistening and dryness of tongue coating reflects the body fluid condition, normal tongue coating is not dry and not wet.) If dry moss: tongue moss dry and lack of body fluid is called dry moss. If dry moss, it means that the body fluid is insufficient, exogenous dryness heat injury fluid, internal injury Yin deficiency fluid. If run Moss: tongue moss smooth body fluid, body fluid is not injured, known as run moss. If there is too much water on the surface of the tongue coating, the water on the tongue seems to drop down, indicating that there is moisture in the body, which is slippery coating.

matters needing attention

Other greasy fur: the fur is dense and delicate, like a layer of turbid smooth mucus covering the tongue, which is not easy to wipe off, and most of them are phlegm dampness. Rotten Moss: the moss is loose, like bean curd residue, which accumulates on the surface of the tongue and is easy to wipe off. It means that the food in the stomach is steaming and the food in the stomach is rotting. No moss: less moss means that the body is lack of healthy qi, no moss also means that the stomach qi deficiency, lack of vitality. In addition, there are many other cases, such as spotted moss (spleen and stomach heat accumulation, damp heat accumulation), purple tongue (blood stasis or blood flow stagnation in the body, Yang deficiency) and so on.
