Read Health With Tongue Analysis

Learning to analyse your own health status can help you along in a detox program or give you incentive to undertake one.
The tongue reveals many health issues. Remember the old stereotype of the doctor who, upon first seeing a patient, always said "stick out your tongue?" A good doctor in times past, before so many computerized tests became the norm, could look at a person's hands, eyes, skin, and tongue and diagnose their condition fairly accurately.
The best time to look at your tongue is in the morning before you drink anything. Look at your tongue in the mirror. Take note of it's color, shape, marks on the surface and contour. A very healthy person has a light pink tongue with no special markings or fuzzy spots or colors. If you have ever noticed the tongue of a very young child, you will know what I mean by light pink and clear of anything else.
Here are a few things to note:

• Impression of teeth around the edge of the tongue usually means malabsorption of nutrients.
• White or grey "fuzzies" in the middle back of the tongue indicates toxins in the colon.
• Yellow to yellow-green patches on both sides near the back part of the tongue may indicate kidney problems.
• Cracks all over the tongue indicate colon trouble.
• A small patch in the middle front of the tongue may indicate a weak heart.
• A coating, white to yellow, covering the tongue indicates toxins in the stomach, large intestine or small intestine.
• A crooked mid-line down the tongue may indicate a deformity in the curvature of the spine.
• Black "fuzzies" in the center toward the back of the tongue indicates serious toxin build-up. (This is most common with smokers and is a warning that both the lungs and the stomach have a dangerous level of toxins.)

When you undertake a detox program, note the condition of your tongue daily. You may see it actually begin to look worse. This is a good sign though that your system is throwing out toxins and its showing on your tongue. As you continue on in the detox your tongue will look clearer and cleaner and your breath will become sweeter.
