History
Even the old Chinese, Arabic and Greek doctors used changes on the surface of the tongue as a diagnostic possibility. However there has to be taken into account that there is an important difference in life and eating habits of people of those days and nowadays, which don't allow to take over the old descriptions of the tongue (pictures, graphics and so on). There had to be pursued new avenues in accordance to the changed conditions of life.

Introduction
The more informations a physician or natural healing practitioner can get from the outer apppearance of a patient the faster and more precise he can call in other methods in addition to come to a diagnosis.

With Tongue Diagnosis not only the physician or natural healing practitioner but also to an extent the trained amateur is able to get a fast and secure perspective of the overall condition of the digestive system. (In the past each mother or family doctor took a look at the tongue)

“The tongue is called the “shopwindow“ of the digestive system“.

Like face diagnosis the tongue gives a first therapeutical hint. During therapy positive and negative changes can be recognized which help with the ongoing treatment. The varying shades of colour and the sometimes typical coating on the surface of the tongue, as well as special taste sensations and feeling stimuli in and on the tongue show, for example, a lack of anorganic salts in the body and in its relation of water, mucus and blood.

With help of the appearance of the tongue a diagnosis about the conditions of organs that participate in digestion, about the blood, nerves, vital and body energy is possible, and it even shows if the left or right side of the body is strained more. Tongue Diagnosis is not a substitution for a classic medical examination.
