Description

Tongue Assessment and Holistic Consult Evaluation of the Tongue relating to your Health

The tongue is the only muscle in the body we can see that isn’t covered with skin. When a practitioner looks at the tongue they are looking at its length, overall size (e.g., swollen or not), shape (e.g., cracked, teeth marks or not), color, amount of saliva, and any details about the coat fur on top of it. In traditional Chinese medicine, The tongue is further devised in sections and relates to the meridians and organ systems throughout the body. This creates a picture of what is happening within the body by location, nature, severity, and allows the practitioner to monitor the progression of treatment. From a Western viewpoint, the tongue tells us how a person is digesting, how their lymphatic system functions, the quality of blood circulating in the body, neurological function, the presence of yeast or other growths in the body, and any longstanding or constitutional conditions. This session will give you insight to the body and its functions. Your tongue will be evaluated, the detailed information will be shared and a holistic health consultation will help guide you to your personal action plan. This session is approximately 60 minutes.
