Cracks appear on the tongue, some are in the shape of a Sichuan figure, some are neck-shaped, some are single cracks, some are double cracks, and some are left with multiple cracks. Whether it is large or small, whether it is deep or shallow, it is called a cracked tongue. Different forms of expression represent different **. What exactly is the cause of the formation of a cracked tongue?
The first is a cleft tongue caused by severe gastric yin insufficiency, and the fluid cannot reach the surface of the tongue, resulting in cracks. This is a severe tongue sign of stomach yin deficiency, and cracks usually appear in the middle of the tongue, which reflects that the body generally has yin deficiency and internal heat.
The second is blood deficiency, when the blood deficiency is serious, it cannot moisturize the tongue, so that cracks appear, at this time, it is necessary to nourish the blood, activate the blood and nourish the yin.
The third type of tongue cracks also appear fat and tooth marks, which is a serious spleen deficiency, dampness and obstruction of the stomach, making it difficult for subtle nutrients to milk and rinse the cracks on the tongue.
These three types of cracked tongue are very common and reflect the different internal environments of the body, so different methods of recuperation should be adopted.
