Tongue and corresponding organ locations
The ancient art of tongue diagnosis also describes quite characteristic patterns that can reveal the functional status of respective internal organs merely by observing the surface of the tongue. The tongue is the mirror of the viscera.
A discoloration and /or sensitivity of a particular area of the tongue indicate a disorder in the organ corresponding to that area.
The front one-third of the tongue relates to the lungs, heart, chest, and neck. Froth in the middle of this area is often a sign of low lung energy with damp and cold lungs and may translate as a cold, bronchitis, asthma, or respiratory allergy. If there is a small depression in the heart area, it often relates to intense grief, sadness, or depression.
The central third of the tongue relates to the liver, spleen, stomach, and pancreas. Small ulcers on the tongue in the stomach area may reflect gastritis or peptic ulcer.
The rear one-third area of the tongue relates to the lower abdominal organs, such as the small intestine and colon. if this posterior part of the tongue is covered with coating, that is toxins in the colon, indicating low colon energy.
One of the best ways to keep the tongue healthy is by scraping it daily. This removes overnight build-up of bacteria and toxins on the tongue. Scraping the tongue is a good way to start to observe the tongue and as a result, the health of the internal organs.
