The tongue coating is serrated

Some people find that their tongue coating has a serrated shape. You need to pay attention at this time, because the tongue can often reflect the health status of certain organs in the human body. If the tongue coating becomes serrated, it may be caused by abnormal spleen and stomach function and excessive dampness and coldness in the body. Once the body is too damp and cold, it will have a great impact on the body. Let’s understand what the serrated tongue coating means.

The cause of tongue with tooth marks is mostly due to spleen deficiency which is unable to transport and transform water and dampness. The dampness is blocked in the tongue and causes the tongue to become fat, which is squeezed by the teeth and forms tooth marks. Therefore, tooth marks are often seen together with a fat and tender tongue. On the one hand, the edema of the tongue indicates spleen yang deficiency and excessive dampness. On the other hand, the relaxation of the tongue muscles and insufficient opening of the mouth indicate spleen qi deficiency.

Dampness is one of the six pathogenic factors: wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "a thousand colds are easy to get rid of, but one dampness is difficult to get rid of." If people get caught in the rain or wade through water or stay in a humid environment in summer and autumn, moisture will invade the body through the respiratory tract, skin pores, etc., "set up camp" and "live there for a long time" in various organs and tissues.

If a person is troubled by dampness for a long time, the dampness will accumulate and turn into heat, which is what Chinese medicine calls "heat". When the body is heated, many symptoms similar to getting angry will appear, such as: loose stools, red and swollen eyes, erosions at the corners of the mouth, yellow urine, toothache, sore throat, dizziness, greasy hair, bitter mouth, greasy hair and skin.

Toxins are excess waste in the human body. Due to improper diet, damp living environment, etc., dampness and heat accumulate in the body, and excessive heat turns to poison.

What harm does damp-heat toxin do to humans?

1. Damage to image

The impact of damp-heat toxins on appearance is unimaginable. Facial problems such as acne, dull and oily complexion, large pores, bags under the eyes, pigmentation, rosacea, and body shape changes are all caused by damp-heat toxins. Eczema and urticaria are also closely related to damp-heat toxins.

2. Mental depression

Damp-heat toxins can make people feel tired, dizzy, and lack energy, which will have a great impact on their work and career. When your colleagues are full of energy, but you are feeling unwell and have no intention of working, you will be left far behind by your colleagues and competitors.

3. Depression leads to illness

Damp-heat toxins cause people to have a bad mood, and a person’s mood can affect the whole person, even their physical health. Long-term depression can reduce appetite and make people lose interest in doing anything, thus causing them to lose their goals in life and induce other physical problems.
