What is the symptom of a dry tongue tip

The tongue is an important organ of the human body. There are many reasons why the tongue feels dry, astringent, and sometimes numb: it can be caused by diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs. It is generally related to blood circulation disorders, especially cerebral ischemia, so we must detect problems early. A dry tongue is often seen in liver and kidney yin deficiency. You can take some liver and kidney nourishing medicines to achieve the therapeutic effect. So let’s find out what the dry tip of the tongue means!

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, changes in a person's tongue sensation often have a variety of implications. The following 3 symptoms are very common in life and are for reference only. A dry tongue indicates dryness and heat in the body. An astringent tongue refers to the feeling on the tongue like eating a raw persimmon, which often occurs at the same time as a dry tongue. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that tongue astringency is mainly caused by dryness and heat damaging body fluid. The tongue is hot and the heart fire is too strong. A hot and tingling tongue refers to a burning pain sensation on the tongue.

This condition is mostly caused by excessive internal fire evil, which inflames the tongue. Burning and painful tongue is often accompanied by red tip of the tongue, red tongue, and mouth and tongue ulcers. The tongue is greasy and has a lot of moisture. A greasy tongue refers to a sticky and uncomfortable feeling on the tongue, often accompanied by a thick and greasy tongue coating. It is mostly caused by dampness, phlegm, food stagnation and other reasons. A greasy tongue is often accompanied by abnormal taste. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the causes of a greasy tongue are different types of cold and heat. For example, a greasy and sweet tongue is mostly due to damp-heat in the spleen and stomach; a greasy and bitter tongue is mostly due to damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder; a sticky and bland tongue is mostly due to spleen deficiency and dampness. Although there are many causes of the disease, they are ultimately caused by heavy moisture in the body.

Numbness of the tongue is mostly related to slow blood flow, increased blood viscosity, changes in microcirculation, insufficient local blood supply or insufficient blood supply to the brain. You can check whether blood lipids, blood sugar, blood pressure and blood viscosity are increased. Pay attention to drinking more water, take small doses of aspirin, salvia miltiorrhiza, vinca leaf tablets and other medicines under the guidance of a doctor, and pay attention to supplementing vitamins B1, B6, C, etc., which can reduce blood viscosity, improve microcirculation, and eliminate numbness. Generally, a dry tongue is considered a typical symptom caused by excessive phlegm and dampness, which is mostly a symptom of phlegm and dampness caused by spleen yang damage due to improper diet.
