Damp tongue

A tongue with heavy moisture is characterized by thick and greasy tongue coating and enlarged tongue body. Some people may also have gear-shaped edges on the tongue. In this case, you should go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations and standardized treatment.

The tongue of a normal person is light pink, with a clean and fresh surface without hypertrophy, and the tongue coating itself is smooth. Heavy moisture is mostly related to environmental factors and living habits. In daily life, people often like to eat raw, cold or irritating foods, which will cause certain damage to the spleen and stomach, leading to decreased spleen and stomach function, and easily cause digestive dysfunction. If the water in the body cannot be discharged in time, a damp constitution will be formed, leading to increased secretion of saliva in the mouth and sputum in the trachea, softening the keratinized cells and parakeratinized cells of the tongue, making the cells swollen and difficult to fall off, and even causing edema of the tongue tissue and obstruction of lymph node return. In addition, the increase in keratinized cells in the heart will accumulate on the tongue, causing the tongue coating to be thick and greasy. The condition of the tongue coating can reflect the health of the human body.

If the patient has heavy dampness in the body and the tongue is turned back, he or she can go to the hospital for relevant examinations and, under the guidance of a doctor, take oral heat-clearing and dampness-removing drugs, such as Pingwei San and Longdan Xiegan Wan, which can play a role in strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness.
