We looked at your tongue at your last appointment. This is what we were reading.
Your tongue coating tells us how your digestion is working. A thick, greasy coat means your body is struggling to break something down. A thin or absent coat means your stomach has been running on empty. We check this every visit because it shifts week to week.
Colour tells us something different. Pale tongue, low circulation, low energy. Common after illness or heavy periods. Dark red means heat is building. A purple tinge points to old, stuck blood flow. We see that one a lot with persistent pain.
We ask you not to scrape your tongue or drink coffee before your appointment. We need to see what your body wrote that morning, not the edited version.
Have a look at yours tonight. Thick coat, thin, or bare? Tell us what you see.
