Chinese Tongue Diagnosis: Episode 3
Your tongue is more than just a muscle—it’s a mirror of your inner health. In this episode, Dr. Daisy explores two powerful tongue diagnosis cases (Case 6 & Case 7) through both Eastern and Western medical perspectives, revealing how subtle tongue changes can reflect serious internal conditions.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✅ What tongue color, coating, and swelling say about liver, pancreas, and circulation health
✅ How Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets purple or swollen tongues
✅ How tongue diagnosis can correlate with modern medical findings such as metastasis or inflammation
✅ The difference between dampness, stagnation, and Qi imbalance in TCM
✅ Real-life case studies showing early signs of cancer and pancreatitis through tongue inspection
Featured Cases:
👩🦳 Case 6: A 73-year-old female with a history of breast cancer whose tongue revealed liver and pancreatic changes months before medical imaging confirmed metastasis.
👨🦳 Case 7: An 80-year-old male with chronic pancreatitis—learn how fissures, swelling, and discoloration on the tongue correspond to inflammation and “dampness” in Chinese medicine.
Why Tongue Diagnosis Matters: In TCM, the tongue reflects your body’s internal energy flow, organ function, and overall vitality. Purplish tongue → Blood stasis or poor circulation Swollen edges → Fluid retention or organ inflammation Deep fissures → Chronic or constitutional imbalance Pink-red lesions → New or acute conditions
