Is a crack in the middle of the tongue or a tooth mark on the edge? It's not too late to know!
Tongue diagnosis is a method of traditional Chinese medicine to understand the physiological and pathological changes of the human body by observing the tongue image, and to judge the health status and diagnose the disease. The ancients called tongue diagnosis "tongue diagnosis", and compared the tongue image to a mirror of human health, showing the health and disease status of the human body at all times. It can reflect many problems, such as the prosperity and decline of qi and blood, the deficiency of yin and yang, the cold and blood stasis, the retention of evil qi, and so on.
