The tongue is lace-shaped

The tongue has a lace-like shape, which is called tooth mark, which refers to the marks of teeth on the edge of the tongue. Generally speaking, as long as there are no other symptoms, no special treatment is required. Just strengthen your diet. If it is more serious, you must understand some precautions, such as not overeating, you can drink some porridge to regulate the spleen and stomach, which can play a good therapeutic role.

How to treat scalloped tongue?

Heavy tooth marks and a large tongue indicate that the body has a lot of "waste water". The reason for the high amount of "waste water" is because the spleen function is weaker and there is a problem with the ability to clear the "waste water". Therefore, the key to solving the problem lies in "strengthening the spleen and removing dampness".

Now that we know that the mechanism behind slit tongue is weak spleen and stomach, and excessive cold and dampness, how do we deal with it?

1. Diet

Don't overeat, which will increase the burden on your spleen and stomach. At the same time, you must not drink cold drinks. Cold drinks are the most harmful to the spleen. Eating too much cold drinks will only make your spleen lazier and lazier. When the spleen stops working, the moisture in your body will become heavier.

In addition, the spleen and stomach love porridge the most, especially porridge that can strengthen the spleen and remove dampness. For example, yam, poria cocos and other good products for strengthening the spleen and stomach can be boiled with rice into porridge for long-term consumption.

2. Diet therapy

ps: During the recovery process of the spleen and stomach, the frequency or amount of bowel movements will inevitably increase, or even watery stools (which is fundamentally different from diarrhea caused by eating bad food or catching a cold). This process is like awakening the function of the spleen, which starts to work truly effectively and begins to expel the body's "garbage".

3. Acupoints

Massage the main acupoints of the spleen meridian, such as Sanyinjiao, between 9 and 11 in the morning (when the spleen meridian is in season). Long-term persistence can help strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.

Sanyinjiao: 3 inches directly above the tip of the inner ankle.

In addition, exercise is also essential. People with scalloped tongue do not exercise enough on a regular basis, so they need to take some time every day to run or play badminton to sweat.

Don't eat a lot of cold food, don't turn on the air conditioner at a very low temperature, or use the cold air for too long. These will aggravate the symptoms, so be sure to keep warm, especially those who have cold hands and feet.
