Ayurvedic Tongue Diagnosis Chart

The tongue, according to Ayurveda, is a strong diagnostic tool for looking at one’s systemic health. It is a very accurate view of the inner health of an individual. Tongue analysis can be used in complement with pulse, nail, and facial diagnosis in order to really see what is going on internally and detect issues that may not have manifested otherwise.

Although this technique is typically used by Ayurvedic practitioners and other Eastern healers, it is simple enough to do a self-diagnosis, even with an Ayurvedic newbie! Although not everything will always show up on the tongue, more often than not it does.

It is important to regularly check your tongue in order to recognize when your body is accumulating toxins when foods are causing negative reactions to your system, or when other indications of disorder may arise.
