What reason is tongue bitter thick yellow

summary

Thick and yellow tongue coating can actually prompt many aspects of the problem. In traditional Chinese medicine, "seeing, hearing and asking", one of them is to make the diagnosis of the disease by observing the changes of the tongue coating. Under normal circumstances, our normal tongue coating will have the phenomenon of whitening, but it is generally thicker and whiter, but if the tongue coating is thick and whiter, it means that there are some abnormal. So what's the reason for the thick tongue coating? Let's have a look.

What reason is tongue bitter thick yellow

Reason 1: first, the normal tongue has a thin layer of white moss, which is produced by stomach qi. In the course of the disease, the tongue coating from the presence to the absence is the manifestation of deficiency of stomach qi and Yin and gradual decline of healthy qi; but after the tongue coating peels off, there is thin white coating, which is the manifestation of evil retreating and healthy growth and gradual recovery of stomach qi.

The second reason: through the tongue coating, we can see thin tongue coating, but not thick tongue coating. The thickness of tongue coating can determine the rise and fall of vital and pathogenic factors and the severity of the disease. Thin moss is not only the exterior syndrome, but also the interior qi depression. Thick moss is responsible for phlegm, dampness and stagnation. Tongue coating from thin to thick, disease evil from the outside into the inside, evil Sheng disease into; tongue coating from thick to thin, for disease evil from the inside to the outside, is better than retreat.

The third reason is the change of the distribution of tongue coating. The whole tongue is covered with fur. The partial distribution of tongue coating on the front, back, left and right parts of the tongue surface is called partial tongue coating. Observing the distribution of tongue coating can determine the location of lesions. The tongue coating is biased on one side of the tongue, which is half exterior and half interior, or the disease is in the liver and gallbladder; the root of the coating is thick and greasy, which is mostly phlegm or gastrointestinal stagnation.
