RE: [Alumni-sd] RE: Orange Tongue

[Guest guest]

This is different than a blood xu orange tongue, it is brighter and it is

the coat, a blood xu is the actual body and it is much more subtle/paler

orange. I have seen lots of blood xu tongues with the orangish body and

this looks quite different. But good idea, thanks.

[Alumni-sd] RE: Orange Tongue

 

Hey all,

I recall our Oriental Medicine 2 instructor, Colleen

Timmons, mentioning something about an orange tongue

body. If I remember correctly, she said it

represented Liver Blood Xu on its way to soon becoming

Liver Yin Xu. Sounds like some of the other symptoms

would support this Zang-Fu pattern. Any classmates

have the same recollection?
