The tongue coating is yellow and greasy, is it yin deficiency? Or is it hot and humid? Yin deficiency conditioning, what Chinese patent medicine is the most effective
As an experienced veteran TCM practitioner, I have often encountered patients who are confused about the changes in their tongue coating over the years of clinical practice.
They wondered if the thick yellow tongue coating was a sign of yin deficiency or dampness and heat. And for people with yin deficiency constitution, how to regulate, which Chinese patent medicine is the most effective? Today, I will answer these questions for you one by one.
First of all, let's understand what is a thick tongue coating. Tongue coating refers to a layer of lichen on the surface of the tongue, which is produced by the vaporization of the spleen and stomach in the stomach. Normally, the tongue coating should be thin white and moist. However, when the tongue coating turns yellow, thick, and greasy, it is often a sign that something is wrong with the body. The occurrence of this situation is mostly related to the dampness and heat of the spleen and stomach.
So, is the thick yellow tongue coating related to yin deficiency? In fact, the thick yellow and greasy tongue coating is more of an empirical evidence of dampness and heat, rather than a false evidence of yin deficiency. People with yin deficiency usually have a reddish tongue with little or no lichen, and are often accompanied by symptoms such as dry mouth, night sweats, and hot hands and feet. People with damp and hot constitution have a reddish tongue with a yellow and thick tongue coating, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as bitter mouth, loss of appetite, and abdominal distention.
So, for people with yin deficiency physique, how to regulate? First of all, in terms of diet, we should eat more foods that nourish yin and clear heat, such as white fungus, lily, wolfberry, etc. Secondly, in the selection of Chinese patent medicines, you can consider Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Zhibai Dihuang Pill, etc. These drugs have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney, clearing heat and reducing fire, and have a good effect on regulating yin deficiency and constitution.
