How the color of your tongue reveals your health

 


Just a look at your tongue in the mirror can help you determine if you have a health problem. So, instead of wondering why your tongue suddenly turned white or darker, keep reading carefully.

The function and appearance of the tongue are much more important than you think, as much as your medical records – they show any health conditions and deficiencies in the body.

We’ve listed the ten most common tongue variations, and you may have one of them without even realizing it.

1. Normal tongue – Pink, without streaks and without color imbalance, having light and normal layers. This demonstrates that your body is functioning properly.

2. Thin white coating, visible teeth marks and some red spots – This condition shows lack of energy and constant fatigue, poor appetite, and excessive sweating. This is common among worried and anxious people.
3. Thin yellow coating in the middle and dark red color of the tongue – Typical in people with digestion problems, dehydration and skin diseases. Mood swings are another visible symptom noticed in people with such changes.

4. Thick white coating, swollen edges – This also indicates digestive disorders, or water retention. These people often suffer from fatigue and lethargy.

5. Dark spots and purple tongue – Indicator of possible blood congestion and vein problems. Swollen feet, headaches, chest pain and dull skin are the most common symptoms seen in these people.

6. Thin white coating and red tip – This condition shows an altered emotional state. Energy builds up in the body and causes frequent inflammation.

7. Red tongue and white diapers – Indicator of increased body temperature possibly caused by infections and skin problems.

8. Thick white coating, and pale, swollen tongue – Possible infection, as well as vitamin and mineral deficiency. Also, if you have pale skin, pain in the pelvis and a feeling that is similar to panic, consult your doctor immediately.

9. Small cuts/cracks – Fungal infections often manifested by sweating, insomnia and irritation.

10. Pale tongue, no visible layers – This condition is caused by decreased blood flow, anemia, memory and concentration problems. Women with this condition often have a hormonal imbalance.
