A TRUTHFUL TONGUE, VOICE OF INTEGRITY

Abstract

The tongue serves as a diagnostic tool reflecting digestive disorders and broader systemic health. It signals conditions such as indigestion leading to headaches, flatulence causing chest pains, and heart failure manifesting in anorexia and flatulence. Additionally, tongue abnormalities like hemi atrophy or cyanosis indicate underlying systemic issues. Emphasized in homeopathy, where tongue examination guides treatment, it contrasts with modern medicine's limited diagnostic use. Historical practices in Ayurveda and Unani medicine highlight the tongue's diagnostic value alongside pulse assessment. This study evaluates and validates tongue descriptions in homeopathic literature, focusing on Nux-v. and Rhus-t., demonstrating their clinical relevance and utility in personalized treatment.
