    Honestly, most of that site sounded like a bunch of bullshit. Color, size and bumpiness of taste-buds, smooth or cut shape of tongue is genetics. Junk lining your tongue in all likely hood means you need to have better oral hygiene. Its not a diagnoses of some major disorder like that site is implying.

    Lemme guess, they have some snake oil to sell me at the end.

    ^^^Thats not true actually. The tongue changes as health changes. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause various characteristics on the tongue and the coating of the tongue is not nessesarilly linked to oral hygine at all. Some say that the coating mirrors what is going on in the intestines, but there are also other more extreme forms than whats on that site.

    Chinese drs have been using tongue diagnosis sucesfully for centuries.

    I know I'm getting sick when I can see teeth imprints on the side of my tongue. It has its uses.

    Interesting. I can remember as a kid that when I was sick id get a thin white coating on my tongue and when I was getting better it would fade away a bit each day until it was just all pink again.

    Aussiepunkshocker, Don't get me wrong, I tend to be a skeptic. I actually love your new-agey-ness. I don't want you to think anything is personal since I think I may have poo-pooed in another one of your threads.

    Hey that was very useful. I am normal although it did let me know that I have a blood circulation problem which i already know because i am anemic, and it let me know that I don't drink a lot of fluids which i don't i am never to thirsty and when I do drink it's just sip's i can never finish a whole glass of anything, and lastly that i don't get enough sleep. Which I don't i'm addicted to tv so i get about 4-6 hours a night of sleep!. Everthing was true I was very surprised.

    Tounge diagnostics is used in hospitals in china I know this as i studyed in china for a month. They relate alot of what is going on on your tounge and in your easy to the internal organs of the body so yeah it is based on fact!

    I'm like Katrine. I have an ugly tongue. I've got cracks and bumps and what that site calls teethmarks on the sides. My dad's is exactly the same. Which is why, at least in my case, it's a genetic thing. I don't think we are about to fall down dead from some liver disorder based on the shape of our tongues. But who knows, maybe some time down the road I'll be diagnosed for one or all of those diseases the site says I probably have. But if I fell sick I'd prefer a more standard and reliable diagnoses for what the cause might be, and I'd go to an actual doctor before self-treating.

    lol, i dont think you are going to fall down dead either. basically i was just saying in china they dont have standard diagnosis well they do but its not very common this is what they do but in hospitals so it isnt self diaginosed. I myself prefer "Stoandard"Diagnosis as well
    You love it!
