White moss can be divided into the following categories.
1, thin white fur spreads on the tongue surface, and the particles are uniform. Dry and humid. Main diseases and related research: thin white coating, ruddy tongue. Under normal circumstances, the most common tongue coating should be "showing qi in the stomach". The formation of thin white coating is mainly due to the comprehensive effects of oral chewing, swallowing, saliva and diet, so that the substances between the filiform nipple and keratinized epithelium of the tongue mucosa are continuously removed and shed, leaving only a thin layer of white coating. However, when wind-cold, rheumatism, cold-dampness and other six evils (including wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire) are still superficial (superficial syndrome or initial syndrome) and have not spread (aggravated or developed), the disease (symptom) is mild, and the qi of viscera (viscera function) is not damaged, the tongue coating is often thin and white. Therefore, there is a saying that "thin white fur is the main surface". "Guide to Distinguishing Tongue" says: "If the tongue coating is white, moist and thin, the evil lies in Wei (Chinese medicine divides serious diseases into four levels according to Wei, Qi, Ying and blood, and Wei is the lightest level. ), sweating (sweating method), such as ephedra and notopterygium root, the common tongue coating is thin, white and smooth, and the tongue quality is normal, which mostly belongs to exogenous wind-cold syndrome. If accompanied by aversion to cold, fever, aching limbs, strong headache, no sweat or less sweat, tight pulse, etc., Mahuang Decoction can be added and subtracted to dispel cold and relieve exterior syndrome; If the tongue is red and the coating is thin, white and moist, which belongs to exogenous wind-heat or exogenous wind-cold-heat syndrome, Jingfangbaidu Powder can be modified. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Ganmao Qingre Granule and Xuan Tong Li Fei Oral Liquid.
Thin white dry moss
2, thin white dry moss: the tongue surface white moss is thin, the body fluid is less, and the moss is dry. Main diseases and related research: thin and white dry fur is the damage of lung, body fluid and qi, but qi deficiency can not produce fluid, and insufficient body fluid can not moisten the tongue. Due to lack of nutrition, the fur is dry. Most of the main diseases are wind and temperature entering the lungs, and pathogenic factors damage the lungs, or yang deficiency can not moisten the lungs, and both qi and body fluid damage the lungs; The former should be moist and dry, and Yinqiao powder can be used to nourish yin, clear heat and promote fluid production; The latter should be the method of benefiting qi and promoting fluid production, and should be the method of nourishing yang and benefiting qi. If the above-mentioned thin white dry moss is accompanied by symptoms such as cold, cough, foaming and excessive phlegm, you can refer to it. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Yinqiao Jiedu Pill, Yinqiao Jiedu Granule, Yinhuang Oral Liquid, Xiongju Shangqing Pill, Qingre Jiedu Oral Liquid, Yangyin Qingfei Pill, Yangyin Qingfei Oral Liquid, Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid, Xuan Tong Li Fei Pill, Xuan Tong Li Fei Oral Liquid, Jizhi Syrup and Zhike Hong Ju Oral Liquid.
Thick white greasy fur.
3, thick white greasy fur: the tongue image is white and thick, the particles are solid or loose, which can cover the whole tongue body, or the edge tip is thin, and the middle and root are thick. Main diseases and related research: thick and white fur is mostly caused by yang deficiency of spleen and stomach in middle energizer, food stagnation, or wet turbid phlegm accumulation. "Guide to Distinguishing Tongue": "The tongue coating is white and greasy, the chest septum is dull and painful, upset and retching; If you want to drink water, you will vomit as soon as you enter. This heat is due to depression, so it is advisable to dilute it. " Thick, white and greasy fur is the main disease: dampness, phlegm and cold. White and greasy tongue coating caused by exogenous cold and dampness means feeling the evil of cold and dampness. Cold is white, wet is greasy; Because cold and dampness are on the exterior, bitter tongue can be thin, white and greasy. To treat cold and dampness, Qianghuo Shi Sheng Decoction was selected. The white and greasy tongue coating caused by dampness blocking film is caused by toxic sensation of dampness and heat, and can also be caused by accumulation of dampness and turbidity and resurgence of exogenous pathogenic factors; Damp heat enters from the exterior to the interior and accumulates between membranes. Yang Qi is depressed, wet and turbid, with a white, thick, greasy and dry tongue coating, or as white as powder. To cure dampness, clear turbidity and clear heat, you can only drink Dayuan. The white and greasy tongue coating caused by cold drinks is the weakness of spleen yang, and the white and thick tongue coating caused by drinking water is slippery. Wenpi decoction is the only way to treat warming yang, strengthening spleen and promoting blood circulation. It is worth thinking that heat is caused by depression in drinking, and the evil of dampness overflows from the tongue, making the tongue coating white and thick, not yellow; However, Zhongyu has heat evil after all, so I can see that you are upset and retching, and you want to drink water from time to time. It is necessary to distinguish this disease from yellow fur with damp-heat stasis and steaming syndrome. Clinically, it is more common in the tongue images of severe patients such as bronchial asthma, emphysema, cor pulmonale, rheumatic heart disease and heart failure. Patients with this tongue picture are generally complicated, and the treatment should be based on syndrome differentiation. You can also try some Chinese patent medicines according to the certificate. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Xiaoqinglong Mixture, Perilla Jiang Qi Pill, Zhisoudingchuan Oral Liquid, Yupingfeng Oral Liquid, Yangshenfei Oral Liquid, Gecko Dingchuan Pill, Shengmai Powder Oral Liquid, Guanxin Shengmai Powder Oral Liquid, Huo Xin Pill, Xuefu Zhuyu Oral Liquid, Yixin Oral Liquid and Anshen Yangxin Pill.
White tongue with dry fur
4. The tongue-like white fur is dry and cracked, which can be thin or thick, and the particles are rough and loose, dry and hard, like gravel, meaning that the white fur is rough. If the particles are fine, the floor is hard, and there are vertical and horizontal cracks on the cloth, it is called dry white hair.
Edit major diseases and related research in this section.
White fur and chapped skin can also appear on the tongue surface, so they are collectively called white fur chapped skin. It is always caused by sudden fire and sudden injury of body fluid. It is more common in acute fever, sudden onset of dry heat, sudden injury of body fluid and true yin failure. However, if the color of fur has not reached Huang Zhi, it will be white and cracked, but it is not very dry, which is common in summer heat and dampness. "Tongue Discrimination": "White fur is withered and cracked, and it burns true yin due to wrong warming. If there is no yellow and black color, the tongue is really dry and the tongue has no body fluid, so the moss is dry and cannot change color. " Dry and cracked white fur is the main symptom, which is mainly caused by heat hurting body fluids; Treating body fluids and purging heat; Main summer heat is harmful to qi, damp and turbid, and it is appropriate to clear summer heat and replenish qi. Clinically, it is more common in the tongue picture of patients with exogenous fever and acute infectious diseases. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines are: Zi Xue Powder, Lingqiao Jiedu Pill and Banlangen Granule. Thin white and smooth moss color. Other kinds of coat colors are mostly transformed from white fur. White fur dominates exterior syndrome, cold syndrome and heat syndrome under special circumstances. If the tongue coating is white, it looks like white powder accumulation, and it is not dry, so it is called powder coating or white powder coating, which is mostly caused by dirty and turbid qi outside and toxic heat inside. Common in plague or internal pain. If the fur is white, dry, cracked like gravel and rough, it is called rough fur. Because of febrile disease, the fever turns rapidly, the internal heat rises sharply, and the body fluid hurts suddenly. The fur is not yellow, but it is hot enough inside, which is common in febrile diseases or taking tonics by mistake.
