Tongue diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine


In Traditional Chinese Medicine, tongue diagnosis is part of the complete anamnesis.



Of course, the tongue is also used for some diagnoses in Western medicine, but it is indispensable in Traditional Chinese Medicine as part of the anamnesis.



The criteria under which a tongue is evaluated include, for example, tongue body, tongue coating, moisture and localisation.



A healthy tongue in medicine is described something like this:

A healthy tongue is freely movable and has a slightly reddish tongue body with a weak, thin, white but not wipeable coating. A healthy tongue is also slightly moist and shiny.
