~AND I WILL TELL YOU HOW HEALTHY YOU ARE!
I once had terrible back pains that would keep me up at nights even to
the point of tears and no relief was in sight! My GP told me that it
was perhaps because I spent such long hours sitting at work and I was to just
pick up some OTC medication for inflammation (such as Robax or Voltaren etc) . I did that but got
little relief from it and of course the pains returned once the tablets wore
off.
So finally I went to a Naturopath and the very first thing he asked me
to do was to stick out my tongue! Immediately as he looked at it he told me
that I seem to have some blockage in my blood flow which could cause my organs
(such as my lungs, my liver and kidneys) to function at a less than normal capacity as they were not getting enough oxygen! Go figure! He was able to tell
me that just by taking one look at my tongue! Said tongue was a deep purplish
dark blue by the way…and when he showed me his it was a nice healthy looking
pink!
He asked me if I loved to eat a lot of sweets … and of course I do have
a very wicked sweet tooth! How on earth did he know that just by looking at my
tongue? Well as it goes, if you eat too much sweets then your blood can get too
thick and sluggish and your body does not get the right levels of blood flow! Anyhow
he proceed to hook me up to this Biofeedback machine (which does a scan of your
body similar to what an antivirus software does for your computer) and lo and
behold it pinpointed that my lungs and kidneys (located exactly where I had the
pains) were suffering from less than required oxygen levels and were functioning
at like a 50 and 40 percent levels!
I therefore decided to do some research on the tongue and it turns out
that your tongue is somewhat like a road map to your health because every area
of your tongue is actually linked to one of your organs and your digestive
system! Here is a shortened view of what I have learnt (check out the links
below which will give you a lot more details):
Back of tongue: Kidneys,
bladder and intestines
Middle of tongue: Stomach
& Spleen
Side of tongue: Kidneys and
Gall Bladder
Front of tongue: Heart,
Lungs & cardio-vascular area
Other things also tell your health story such as the colour of your
tongue, whether it has cracks in it, whether it has a coating over it or has
spots on it all tell different stories about your health which you do need to
take note of. Read Emma Deangela’ article to get more details (link at the end of this
blog), which is the most comprehensive one I found on the topic - but here is a
quick and sketchy summary:
COLOUR:
Pink: Healthy
Red: Body overheating (lack B
Vitamins)
Purple: Poor blood flow and
circulation
White: Cold body temperature
and possible metabolic issues
COATING:
Thin white: Normal & Healthy
No Coating: Problems with
digestive system
Thick coating: Water
retention and poor absorption of body fluids
Thick White Coating: Poor
Circulation and low energy levels
Thick Yellow Coating: Toxins
and problems with the organs to remove toxins from your body
CRACKS:
No cracks: Healthy
Many cracks: Possibly
Diabetes
Fish Gill Cracks: Fluid
retention & dysfunctional spleen
Be blessed & stay healthy!
