Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic medical system that has been practiced for over 2,000 years. It is based on the theory of balancing yin and yang, which represent opposing forces, like light and dark or cold and heat. When yin and yang are balanced, the body feels healthy and full of energy. However, when this balance is disturbed, it can lead to health problems. Tongue diagnosis is an important tool in TCM. According to The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, the tongue is connected to internal organs through energy pathways called meridians. For instance, the tip of the tongue is linked to the heart and lungs, while the back of the tongue is connected to the kidneys. By examining the color, shape, and coating of the tongue, doctors can assess the flow of energy (qi) and blood in the body and check for imbalances between cold and heat that may affect health.
Small spots on the tongue is a common manifestation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, usually indicating excessive liver heat and internal heat due to yin deficiency. This tongue appearance is often accompanied by a dry mouth and throat discomfort, with the irritation becoming more pronounced when consuming spicy foods. Patients may also experience mouth ulcers, making eating even more uncomfortable.Emotionally, individuals frequently feel anxious and irritable, easily getting angry over minor issues, with significant mood swings. As these symptoms worsen, they may have difficulty sleeping at night, experience frequent dreams, and sometimes suffer from night sweats, waking up feeling exhausted. Additionally, insufficient sleep can lead to headaches and facial skin issues
To address the issue of a tongue with small dots, I recommend a herbal tea that has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, as well as nourishing yin and reducing internal heat. The ingredients include honeysuckle, which effectively clears excess heat from the body; chrysanthemum, which helps to clear the liver and improve vision, alleviating anxiety and irritability; cassia seeds, which can moisten the intestines and relieve constipation while also protecting eye health; licorice, which soothes throat discomfort and has anti-inflammatory properties; and goji berries, which nourish yin and support liver health, helping to restore vitality and boost immunity.By combining these herbs, you can effectively clear heat and toxins from the body while also regulating liver function and gradually alleviating symptoms. Additionally, engaging in moderate exercise, such as walking or yoga, can effectively promote the flow of qi and blood, balance the body’s yin and yang, and reduce stress, leading to a gradual restoration of your health.
