ॐSanskrit Text
जिह्वा परीक्षा रोगाणां निदानं कारणं वदेत्।
✦English Translation
The tongue reveals internal health: A white coating indicates Kapha/ama (toxins) and weak digestion. Yellow coating shows Pitta excess and liver heat. Dry/cracked tongue indicates Vata imbalance and dehydration. Teeth marks on edges suggest malabsorption. Clean the tongue daily with a copper scraper to remove toxins and stimulate organs.
