What to do if the back of the tongue turns yellow

Everyone wants to be healthy, especially the health of their oral cavity. However, due to various reasons, many people have yellowing of the back of their tongue. After this symptom occurs, patients are particularly worried that it will affect their health. So they want to fully understand what to do if the back of the tongue turns yellow. The following content provides specific answers so you can fully understand it.

1. If you have a lot of internal heat, you should eat more foods that reduce heat! You can also drink some honeysuckle tea.

2. If the symptoms have persisted for a long time and taking heat-clearing foods or medicines has no effect, you can go to the gastroenterology department for a checkup. If necessary, you can do liver function tests and upper abdominal ultrasound. (The following is a detailed excerpt from me!^_^)

Traditional Chinese medicine divides the tongue into three parts: the tip of the tongue reflects changes in the heart and lungs, the middle and sides of the tongue reflect the conditions of the liver and spleen, and the root of the tongue indicates kidney lesions. However, Professor Guo Shuyun said that the heart, liver and kidney functions described in traditional Chinese medicine are different from those in Western medicine and should not be applied rigidly.

Yellow tongue coating and red tongue texture usually indicate heat. People with yellow tongue coating and red tongue texture (i.e. red tongue) will experience bitter taste in the mouth and dry throat, which indicates heat.

If there is heat in the heart meridian, the tongue coating will be yellow and the tongue will be red, and at the same time, there will be impatience, irritability, insomnia and nightmares. This is mostly due to heat in the heart meridian. At this time, the patient can use some medicine to clear the heart fire. For example, soak bamboo leaves and lotus seeds in water and drink it as tea frequently every day. If you have trouble sleeping, you can cook porridge with lily, lotus seed core and jujube kernel; if you have mouth ulcers, you can use 60 grams of wild chrysanthemum, boil it into a thick soup, and take it orally several times a day. Guo Shuyun said that an old cadre had mouth ulcers for many years and had tried many methods of treatment without success. He used this little recipe and was cured in one month.

Bladder damp-heat causes reddish tongue, yellow and greasy tongue coating, and the patient has a feeling of incomplete urination, or feels hot and painful when urinating. It is mostly bladder damp-heat, which is urinary tract infection in Western medicine. You can use Imperata root, Dianthus superbus, Polygonum multiflorum, etc., decocted in water and drink as tea.

If there is fire in the liver meridian, the tongue has red edges, yellow and dry tongue coating, red and swollen painful eyes, or frequent styes, it means there is fire in the liver meridian. You can soak rhubarb prepared with wine in water and drink it. Guo Shuyun believes that rhubarb is cold in nature.

It has a descending and purgative effect. After being processed with wine, the medicinal power of rhubarb can be led to the head and relieve the fire in the upper part of the body.

If there is heat in the lung meridian, the tongue will be slightly red and the tongue coating will be thin and yellow, which indicates heat in the lung meridian. This is common in the early stages of a cold or in patients with pharyngitis. Those with dry stools can boil wintergrass and rhubarb and drink it as tea every day.
