The tongue, much like fingerprints, is unique to each individual and can provide valuable insights into our overall health. Through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, examining the tongue can reveal information about our body’s inner workings at different stages of life.
Traditionally, TCM practitioners relied on tongue diagnosis as a diagnostic tool long before modern technology such as MRIs, ultrasounds, and blood work became available. Our very own, Mary Wong, shares how this ancient practice showcases the deep understanding TCM has of the body’s organs, with the tongue serving as a diagnostic map. Despite the advancements in technology, tongue diagnosis remains relevant as a non-invasive, cost-effective, and easily accessible diagnostic tool in TCM.
By observing the shape, color, and coating of the tongue, Mary explains how imbalances can be detected, even when modern technology fails to provide an explanation for certain symptoms. This valuable insight enables individuals to take proactive steps towards restoring harmony and healing within the body.
