Ms. Zhao said that she has had this phenomenon for more than half a year. During this period, she took many medicines, but they were not very effective, with little effect and bad appetite.
It can be seen that Ms. Zhao's tongue has become fat and her tongue coating is very white and greasy. After the final diagnosis, it can be determined that it is a toothed tongue. Tooth marks on the edge of the tongue are mainly caused by the oppression of fat tongue, which is a diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine. This disease can be treated by strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness. Many experts in the medical field believe that the appearance of lisp is related to many factors, but the core influencing factors are spleen deficiency and qi deficiency, and excessive moisture in the body.
This is the manifestation of spleen deficiency and excessive moisture in the body, which can be improved by conditioning with traditional Chinese medicine. Pay more attention to the diet, eat more light and digestible food, and also need to eat some foods such as yam and red dates, which have the effect of strengthening the spleen and appetizing. If some Chinese patent medicines have little effect, you can also ask Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe some Chinese medicine soup to make comprehensive conditioning according to your overall physical condition.
"What caused the tooth marks on the edge of the tongue?" I went to the Chinese medicine department to ask.
My colleagues in traditional Chinese medicine told me that this is a phenomenon of lisping, because the tongue is too big, which is a situation caused by fat tongue. When the tongue is swollen, it will be squeezed by teeth. Chinese medicine pays attention to looking, smelling, asking and cutting, and the judgment of the tongue is a means for Chinese medicine to find diagnosis. The appearance of lingual teeth is mostly related to excessive moisture in the body and spleen deficiency and qi deficiency.
(A) the causes of tooth marks on tongue coating
Tongue is a very important part of our body. It not only plays a huge role, but also reflects whether our bodies are healthy or not. The symptom of teeth on the tip of the tongue is a reflection of our physical condition, which will lead to some tooth marks on the edge of the tongue.
So, how did these tooth marks come from? Why are there teeth marks on the edge of the tongue? In fact, in this case, don't worry too much. Teeth on the tip of the tongue are mainly caused by the following factors.
1. Deficiency of spleen-qi can lead to tongue-twisting.
For people with spleen deficiency and qi deficiency, the main symptoms of toothed tongue are reddish and tender tongue color and tooth marks around the tongue. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the function of spleen is mainly transportation, that is, absorption and transportation. Spleen needs to absorb the essence of food in the body and then transport the essence of these substances to all parts of the body to support various functional activities in the body. If the spleen is deficient, the absorbed substances cannot be transported to all parts of the body for physical activity, so accumulation will cause more phlegm in the body. Therefore, patients with spleen deficiency and qi deficiency also have moisture in their bodies, but there is not so much moisture, mainly spleen deficiency.
2. High humidity
Tooth marks on the edge of the tongue are also related to excessive moisture in the body. The tooth marks on the tongue coating caused by this factor will be yellow and white. The pressure of life, work and study in contemporary society is too great, which leads to the accelerated pace of life. In addition, bad and irregular eating habits will also cause excessive water in the body. Excessive moisture will affect the discharge of excess water in our stomach and body, so that water in the body will accumulate, causing edema in many parts of the body, and the tongue will become swollen, making the teeth squeeze and oppress the tongue, so there will be tooth marks on the tongue.
3. Congenital dentate tongue
The symptoms of lisp may not only be caused by various bad changes in the body, but also may be a congenital lisp, which may appear with the birth of the baby. This kind of congenital tooth tongue is not a pathological phenomenon, so you don't have to worry too much, but you can go to the hospital for examination if you have the conditions.
In a word, the function of the tongue is very important. It plays an irreplaceable role in our body, and we can perceive our physical condition through some changes in our tongue. For a toothed tongue, if the tongue is very red and swollen, there are teeth marks on the edge of the tongue, which is generally caused by damp heat and phlegm and blood stasis; If the tongue is only reddish and there are traces of teeth on the edge, it is generally because of spleen deficiency and qi deficiency.
(B) the impact of tooth-marked tongue on the body
Tooth-marked tongue is a manifestation of abnormal operation of other functions in the body, which will not cause too serious influence on the body itself. It is only a manifestation of sub-health, and the main factor affecting it is excessive water in the body.
1. Dyspepsia
Tongue and teeth are caused by spleen deficiency and qi deficiency, excessive moisture in the body and other factors, which will have adverse effects on the spleen and stomach of the body. Therefore, patients may feel indigestion, spleen and stomach weakness, lack of qi and blood, and poor appetite. We can also detect whether there is a disease through some changes in the body.
be down in spirits
Patients with lisp often feel tired, weak, listless, insomnia and dreaminess. This is a mild patient, and severe patients may feel dizzy.
(3) the medical treatment process of dental tongue
Toothed tongue refers to the abnormal phenomenon of tooth marks on the edge of tongue, which generally represents the occurrence of other diseases in the body. Toothed tongue can be treated by TCM conditioning and surgery.
Toothed tongue is the manifestation of sub-health of human body. When we have a toothed tongue, we must pay attention to the color of the tongue and the depth of the tooth marks on the edge of the tongue. These different conditions represent different pathological phenomena. So, if we have a toothed tongue, how should we adjust it?
(1) Understand the causes of tooth marks on tongue coating.
There are many factors that lead to the appearance of the tongue. Before conditioning, we must first understand the reasons for the appearance of the tongue, and which part of our body has problems. Only by understanding the reasons can we solve the physical discomfort in time.
(2) take food that strengthens the spleen and eliminates dampness.
The appearance of lisp is related to excessive moisture in the body and spleen deficiency and qi deficiency. We can eat some foods that can strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness for dietotherapy, such as yam, red dates, barley and so on.
(3) Acupoint massage
The structure and physiological function of the human body are complex, and every acupoint has an effect on the human body. They complement each other. Learning to massage acupoints in life is good for health. In traditional Chinese medicine, spleen meridian refers to Taibai point, which belongs to spleen meridian and is its original point. One of the main reasons for tooth marks on tongue coating is due to spleen deficiency and qi deficiency. Massage Taibai point with thumb can regulate the spleen and stomach by regulating the spleen meridian, which is beneficial to the phenomenon of tooth marks on the tongue.
(4) exercise more.
Doing more exercise can help us exercise a healthy body, enhance immunity and resistance, and also reduce sub-health in the body.
In a word, tongue and teeth are a relatively normal condition in the body and belong to sub-health state, so we don't need to worry too much about it, because it doesn't belong to the category of serious diseases, but if we ignore it, it may also cause serious diseases to some extent. Therefore, when we have a tongue, we should pay attention to it and have a general examination of our bodies.
