1. What is the reason for the black spots on the tip of the tongue?

There are scattered purple-black bruises or spots on the tip or edge of the tongue, which often indicates that there is "blood stasis" in the body. People with blood stasis have slower blood flow in the body, and in some parts of the body, blood flow may even stagnate completely. It can cause petechiae or ecchymoses to easily appear on the tongue. Petechiae and ecchymosis on the tongue are also common in young women. Most of them have irregular menstruation, dark menstrual blood, often blood clots, dysmenorrhea and other symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is a manifestation of blood stasis.

As for red foods replenishing blood, the theory comes from "like replenishes shape, color replenishes color". Sesame enters the liver, kidney, lung, and spleen meridians, and has the effects of replenishing blood and improving eyesight, producing semen and lactation, and benefiting the liver and nourishing hair.
