It is said that you can only know the presence of the inner organs when they are diseased. It’s true. In health all the systems work in harmony and so no symptoms or signs are perceived. But when the healthy mode gets altered, we experience discomfort in form of signs and symptoms. Let’s see how the tongue can act as a mirror to the happenings inside our body. Deviation in the look of the tongue from normal suggests an internal turmoil. Before knowing the abnormal it is necessary to know the normal look of the tongue.
