Tongue reading precautions – do not let the tongue image deceive you In general, the tongue image is more accurate response to the physical condition, but there are sometimes artificial factors that can lead to a false image of the tongue, misrepresenting the military situation and misleading treatment. The following is a list of common factors that can easily cause inaccurate tongue diagnosis: 1, the time to look at the tongue has to be careful In general, the tongue is different in the morning and in the afternoon, the tongue is slightly thicker in the morning and thinner in the afternoon. As for the morning and afternoon, I think that as long as each time the comparison is made, the time period is chosen to be roughly the same, such as the last time the morning look, this time or the morning look. 2, eating also affects the tongue eating is also an important reason for the inaccuracy of the tongue image, just after eating the tongue will generally change from thick to thin, so patients let me look at the tongue, I usually let avoid eating time, the best look at the tongue before 1 to 2 hours do not eat. Especially after eating spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili, ginger, garlic, hot pot and barbecue. After eating these, the tongue will definitely become very red and the moss becomes very thin. It is very easy to mistake the original cold tongue image for the hot image. 3, dyed moss is very common The so-called dyed moss refers to eat or drink food with pigmented drugs, resulting in the tongue dyed with the corresponding drug food color, the most common is just drink milk, tongue dyed white, drink coffee, tongue is also coffee-colored, eat melon, peanuts, a class of oil-rich food, tongue floating on a layer of yellow and white slag, making it look like rotten moss. Many men like to smoke, this is also an important reason to dye moss, you see smokers, the old grasp of the cigarette hand are smoked yellow, open mouth is also a mouthful of yellow teeth, tongue moss can not be avoided, smoking years longer people, tongue moss will generally also bleach yellow. This summer I took a particularly typical one to share with you Look at this smoker, dyed with a layer of yellow moss, do not mistake him for damp heat, look at his tongue and next to the moss, but light white is dominant. The essence is still deficiency cold. It is also more in line with the consultation, people are indeed afraid of cold and not afraid of heat. The modern Internet technology often sends me pictures to look at the tongue online, because of the reason of shooting, may also appear to be mistaken. 1, cell phones can not shoot tongue diffuse light shooting best with a rear high pixel camera, as well as natural light shooting, do not open the diffuse light. Once a young man, shot the tongue to me, I took a look. I said you this ah, very red ah, moss also yellow greasy, there is heat in the body? Are people afraid of heat? The young man said he was not afraid of heat, but mainly of cold. This is the complete opposite of the tongue and the content of the consultation, I have seen more, I guess there is a problem with the shooting, let him not turn on the diffused light, natural light shooting. As a result, it is indeed not so red, the tongue is fat and large, and the moss is just a little yellow, mainly white. This is indeed a typical cold condition. This is the problem with cell phone photography. Cold and heat are basic and must not be mistaken. Some patients feel that the light is not good, specially a light to take pictures, in fact, and open the light is the same easy distortion, is also inappropriate, such as the following one. Is not very frightening. 2, the natural tongue should not be overly forceful tongue extension degree of force is also very important, to natural tongue, do not overly forceful, too much force, easy to look very purple, mistaken for bad blood flow. Some patients want the doctor to see the full picture of the tongue and are afraid that the doctor will not be able to see it, so they stretch their tongue extra hard and want to pull it down and put it in front of your eyes. For example, the following: someone’s tongue is longer than his? 3, natural tongue extension, you can see the root of the tongue can be. Give a more standard tongue state to everyone to see Natural light, open your mouth, the tongue relaxed, natural stretching outside the mouth, the tip of the tongue down, the tongue can see the root of the tongue can, remember not to deliberately very hard. To be more accurate tongue diagnosis, we must follow certain rules, summarized: 1, it is best not to just get up and shoot; 2, do not eat or drink colored beverages 1 to 2 hours before looking at the tongue; 3, natural tongue, not excessive force or curl, see the root of the tongue can be; 4, cell phones to shoot the tongue, to natural light, not to open the diffused light, the best rear camera.
