There are many reasons for thick white moss at the base of the tongue, such as phlegm-dampness, cold-dampness, or caused by food accumulation (indigestion of food and stagnation in the stomach). If it is caused by cold-dampness, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to use Angelica Ginger Lamb Soup. However, Chinese medicine emphasizes the integration of the four diagnoses, and it is difficult to identify the symptoms with only one symptom, so it is recommended to consult a doctor for scientific treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
It should be noted that the soup is not suitable for those who have heat in yin deficiency, or fullness of dampness in the middle (too much dampness leading to fullness and discomfort in the spleen and stomach); it should be used with caution for those who are old and weak, and who often have fever, sore throat and ulcers in the mouth and tongue.
