Go look at your tongue - Ew! (Part 2)
Geographic coating - this coating suggests a stomach yin deficiency. If the deficiency is very strong, one could experience heartburn, constipation, or chronic hunger. I have heard that some people are just born with this geographic tongue, but I'm not really sure.
Cracked tongue - generally means yin deficiency, which means a bit of dryness in the body. Some women experience this during menopause. Some symptoms could include night sweats, hot flashes, irritability, or insomnia. For others symptoms include restlessness, dry mouth or throat at night, low back pain, or redness across the cheeks.
If you notice your tongues has one of these and you are experiencing the above symptoms, you could take this as an invitation to take the next step into resolving underlying issues and get the support your body needs.
