What's the matter with black spots on the tongue?

Experts say that black spots on the tongue are caused by congestion due to slow blood circulation in the body. This situation often occurs in female friends. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by irregular menstruation. In this case, you must pay more attention to your diet, avoid eating raw or cold food, and do appropriate physical exercise to promote blood circulation in the body and reduce the occurrence of blood stasis.

1. What causes black spots on 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.

2. Effective ways to prevent dark spots

(1) Avoid direct sunlight, especially in the summer when ultraviolet rays can cause great damage to facial skin. When going out, you must take precautions and wear sunscreen or sunblock.

(2) Eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons, oranges, bayberries, red dates and other fruits and green leafy vegetables. Supplement vitamin E in appropriate amounts. Avoid eating spicy foods such as chili peppers and garlic.

(3) If female friends find themselves suffering from endocrine disorders, constipation and other digestive disorders, they should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time. As the saying goes: "A clean interior and exterior keeps you young forever; a healthy intestine leads to a better complexion." Do not believe in false advertisements and take drugs for endocrine regulation and bowel cleansing and detoxification on your own initiative.

(4) Be optimistic and cheerful, and smile often. Avoid staying up late for a long time and pay attention to replenishing water, which is very important for women.

(5) Cryotherapy and laser therapy. The storage and use of liquid ammonia used for cryotherapy require specific technology, and laser requires special equipment, so treatment can only be performed in regular medical institutions. The best time for treatment is spring and autumn.

(6) For external use, the New Cosmetic Materia Medica, page 10, states: The root of the Chinese cucumber can moisturize the skin, whiten the complexion, and treat facial dark spots. Modern research has confirmed that the root of the wild gourd contains 14 mg of vitamin C, so it can whiten the skin and treat facial dark spots for sure. It can also make the skin of the hands white and radiant.
