What is Ayurveda Tongue Diagnosis, Anyways?

Ayurveda tongue diagnosis is part of Ayurveda's multi-fold assessment approach. The tongue tells us about our constitution by revealing our doshic picture. The images below illustrate the different characteristics of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha-type tongues.

In addition to providing insight into your unique constitution, the tongue can also be used to identify other bodily imbalances – such as digestive issues, dietary deficiencies, and more.

Have you noticed a change to any of your nails lately? A change in color, texture, or shape can be harmless, but it can also be a sign of disease.

With Ayurvedic facial assessment, it's easy to see where there may be an imbalance or stress on a particular organ. Areas that are red or irritated can indicate a pitta imbalance in the corresponding organ. Dryness can indicate a vata imbalance, whereas puffiness or swelling shows a kapha imbalance.
