Tongue moss is a layer of mossy material attached to the surface of the tongue, which is formed by the upward vaporization of stomach qi. TCM practitioners believe that white tongue coating may be caused by phlegm (a pathological product of impaired metabolism of water and fluid) and food accumulation (accumulation of food in the stomach due to indigestion), and it can be treated with Ling Gui Jiu Gan Tang, Bao He Pills, and Strengthening the Spleen Pills.
1. Ling Gui Jiu Gan Tang: Ling Gui Jiu Gan Tang has the effect of warming the yang qi in the body to promote the metabolism of water and liquids, strengthening the spleen and inducing dampness, which can treat phlegm and drink caused by deficiency of yang in the middle and improve the symptom of whiteness of tongue coating.
2. Baohe Pill and Jianshang Pill: These two medicines have the effect of strengthening the spleen, eliminating food and stomach. Baohe Pill mainly has the effect of eliminating food and stomach, which can relieve abdominal distension, indigestion and other symptoms. Splenic Pill has the effects of strengthening the spleen, appetizer and digestion, and helps to regulate the spleen and stomach, and is effective in improving the symptoms of thick and white tongue coating.
The adverse effects and contraindications of the above drugs are not known. If you have a white tongue, you need to be treated by a doctor according to your constitution and symptoms, and the medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
