I am going to show you what your tongue reveals about your health. You use it almost constantly; however, how often do you really look at your tongue? While many of us probably don’t make tongue examinations a daily thing, you’d be surprised at how much you can learn about your health from regularly checking in with yours.

Your tongue, like every part of your body, is very clever at notifying you if something’s wrong. This might be in the way it feels, but often, it’ll change in appearance. If you can get into the habit of checking your tongue, as well as being aware of the potential warning signs to look out for, you’ll be helping yourself to stay healthy into the future. You should also consider using tongue scrapers and brushes to help keep your tongue in the best shape.

So, if you’re curious to learn what your tongue can reveal about your health, stay tuned to find out.

• Number 1: A Pale tongue could be signaling a cold or iron deficiency. Your tongue should naturally be pink in color with a thin white coating. If it’s looking too pale, almost "bloodless" in appearance, chances are, you’re suffering from a viral illness that’s making your body temperature drop. Aside from illness, you may also feel cold if you’re fatigued or you need to nourish your blood. Try eating warm foods to combat this and take ginger and turmeric supplements for extra support. A pale tongue that’s dry in texture is also a sign of an iron deficiency. Luckily, it’s easy to increase your iron via supplements or the foods you eat in your diet. Tofu, spinach, dark chocolate, lentils, eggs, oysters, liver, and broccoli are all great sources of iron. CLICK HERE for Fermented Turmeric/Ginger Powder, Premier Multi-Vitamin, Nucleo Immune.
  
  

Number 2: Cracks in your tongue could mean a hormonal imbalance You’ll normally find that if your tongue is showing cracks on its surface, you’ve probably got a vitamin deficiency caused by a hormone imbalance. CLICK HERE for Estro Flavone

Hormonal imbalances occur when there is too much or too little of a hormone in your bloodstream. Because of their essential role in the body, even small hormonal imbalances can cause side effects throughout the body, and a cracked tongue is a common sign that something’s not right. If you think your hormones are off balance, there are several ways to naturally treat the issue. It’s best to speak to your doctor first if he or she is open to discussing taking the natural route for supplementing hormones (bHRT). Bio Identical Hormone Replacement is the only natural safest way to supplementing hormones. You can contact me if your doctor is not open to bHRT on Marion@DirectionWithPurpose.com

Number 3: Teeth marks on your tongue could mean spleen issues or anxiety. If you notice teeth marks on the surface or the sides of your tongue, it’s known by professionals as a scalloped tongue. Scalloped tongue gets its name from the wavy indentations you’ll see along the edges of your tongue. This is usually caused when your tongue swells or becomes inflamed. This is a sign that your tongue is damper than it should be, which suggest you may have an issue with spleen. If your spleen is working poorly, you might also notice that you’re more tired than usual, and you’re experiencing digestive issues. Aside from spleen issues, anxiety can sometimes cause you to press your tongue against your teeth. Doing this regularly will eventually lead to indentations along the outside of your tongue. In both cases, it’s advised to take action to fix the issue. CLICK HERE for Tyrosine and Complete B, Nutritional Flakes

Number 4: Large, puffy tongue indicates a poor diet or hyperthyroidism. A build-up of dampness of the tongue can cause puffiness and swelling. This isn’t usually a serious sign – rather, an indication that you’re not eating the right sort of diet. You would be surprised to hear how the Carnivore way of eating has drastically improved so many ailments in people today.

Yes, this may sound controversial, however, studies have shown a diet rich in red meat (ruminant animals) pasture raised eggs and chicken have played a significant role in healing most all of today’s health issues. Including insulin resistance, diabetes 2, high cholesterol, arthritis, joint pain etc.

Occasionally, a swollen, puffy tongue can be a sign of hypothyroidism. This is a thyroid disorder that’s characterized by low levels of the thyroid hormone, which can lead to symptoms like hair loss, fatigue, easy bruising, and low blood pressure.

Number 5: Shape changes in certain areas can mean problems with the liver, bladder, spleen, stomach, and heart Your tongue may change color, texture, or shape in a few different locations, and it’s important to know which area indicates what. Generally, if the very back of your tongue changes in shape, you may have an issue with your large and small intestines, as well as your kidneys and bladder. The side areas of your tongue are linked to the liver and gallbladder, while the center of the tongue is associated with your spleen and stomach. If the very front part of your tongue has changed in shape, this may indicate that you have an issue with your lungs or heart. CLICK HERE for Liver ND, NAC, Taurine Blend.
