My first question upon seeing such a presentation is always " how much coffee " ? How do you know it is not a stain? Did you poke it a little with a tongue depressor or take a swab of it with a qtip? -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi Pete, thanks for your input. She does not drink coffee, and the colour is not scraped off. It maaaay be a stain because a very little amount of colour does come off the tongue when it is rubbed with cotton. However, the orange colour consistently shows up when the patient is experiencing stress or when the stools get sticky and have some difficulty moving. I have not been able to come up with a consistent foodstuff that she eats prior to the coating showing up. The emotional factors and sticky stools are the only things present every time.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Hugo, This is conjecture, but perhaps worth considering: I know for a fact that with patients of mine who have gone through healing crises, that their stools and even their urine has been orange on occasion. In each case, the patients had had histories of having taken a lot of antibiotics. I believe that it was the late Paavo Airola who said that orange stools come from antibiotics clearing from the liver. Check with her, but perhaps that's the case here as well.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Hi Hugo, I would go with heat in the Middle Jiao. Especially since you mentioned that she gets sticky stools.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi Hugo, From the picture I would first suspect something diet related. I did read somewhere in the past about an orange tint on the sides of the tongue being indicative of a blood deficiency.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 As I see, The tongue is pale, normal dryness, little puffy " normal , depending on how you protrude it " , the brown coat is thin. This is a not an acute condition because the tongue has not change its color. There is no dryness " no interior heat in any organ yet " . This could be a normal tongue with some thin brown coat in the back of the tongue. The back of the tongue is the interior, lowerjiao. The interior or the lowerjiao has nothing bad , except a thin brown coat " light heat " . This could be from smoking, medication, vitamins, or some food, but it is on the surface " the coat " . If untreated it may become more severe. We may ask some questions relating to this tongue coat. How about the abdominal ( discomfort, pain if pain " dull / sharp, aggravate with pressure or feel more comfortable )? HOw about urine ( profuse / little, yellow / clear , odorous? ) And the pulse ( thin / big, fast/ slippery / slow, weak / strong )? If it is just to base on the tongue diagnosis, I would say this is a little heat, a beginning of the heat, from food, medication, chemical , smoking, viatamin ... Pale tonue " deficiency of Qi, not of blood " Blood deficiency, the tongue will be smaller and dryer. If Yang deficiency, the tongue is more wet. Why QI deficiency and there is light heat in the lowerjiao????? Because the external factors as food, chemicals, vitamin, drugs are changing the chemical inside " interior " but not harming yet.
