​          Tongue diagnosis has a long history in traditional medicine, particularly in Chinese and Ayurvedic practices. These approaches are based on the idea that the tongue reflects the state of internal organs, with changes in its color, texture, and shape serving as indicators of underlying health issues. Modern science has begun to explore this field and has already made significant strides in validating its potential.

 

Traditional Approach Meets Modern Science

​

           For thousands of years, Eastern medicine has treated the tongue as a map of the body, where specific regions correspond to internal organs:

• The tip of the tongue is linked to the heart and lungs.

• The center reflects the stomach and spleen.

• The sides are associated with the liver and gallbladder.

• The back corresponds to the kidneys and intestines.
       The tongue’s color, shape, coating, and tissue structure can provide valuable insights into the body’s balance or imbalance.

While tongue diagnosis is deeply rooted in traditional medicine, modern research has begun to substantiate its principles. Scientists have found that bodily changes—such as inflammation, vitamin deficiencies, or digestive issues—are indeed reflected on the tongue.

Examples include:

• A thick white coating may indicate gut microbiota imbalance or digestive problems.

• Red patches could signal a deficiency in B vitamins or excess heat in the body.

• A yellow coating often points to liver overload or gallbladder issues.

These observations are increasingly supported by studies linking the tongue’s appearance to measurable biochemical markers, such as inflammation levels or metabolic imbalances.

Moreover, tongue diagnosis has shown promising potential in identifying various diseases, ranging from diabetes to breast cancer.

The Role of Modern Technology
 

Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have significantly enhanced the accessibility and accuracy of tongue diagnosis. For instance, a study published in MDPI found that AI-powered tongue image analysis, using standard webcam photos, achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 96.6%.
