What can you learn about your body from looking in the mirror? What clues to your health can you find on your tongue? Your tongue tells an incredibly detailed story about what's going on inside your body. It acts as a window into each organ of your body, especially the digestive tract. It enables you to discover critical information about your overall health.

In this series of videos, you will learn why tongue analysis is so important, what it reveals about your health, and how you can clinically analyze your own tongue. You'll discover the tools Ayurvedic professionals use to assess the tongue and how to interpret your findings for better health.

This presentation is sponsored by the Joyful Belly School of Ayurveda.

Watch All 9 Videos on the Art of Ayurvedic Tongue Diagnosis

  1. Introduction to Clinical Analysis of the Tongue - In this video, you will learn why tongue analysis is so important and what the tongue reveals. It will also teach you about the anatomy of the tongue and how to start analyzing it clinically.
  2. Approaching the Tongue: Breath, Lips, Teeth & Throat - Tongue diagnosis extends beyond just examining the tongue itself. In this video, you will learn how to analyze the breath, lips, teeth and throat.
  3. How to Analyze Tongue Coating - Take a look at your tongue in the mirror - do you see a coating? Is it thick or thin? Is it white, yellow, or maybe even black? What does a coating signify, and what should you do about it? This video will teach you everything you need to know about assessing tongue coating.
  4. Organs Mapped Out On The Tongue - When examining the tongue, certain locations correspond with specific organs including the heart, lungs, kidneys and intestines. In this video, you will learn how to map organ location on the tongue to detect organ imbalances.
  5. Tongue Surface, Cracks, Spots, & Bumps - Is your tongue bumpy or smooth? Have you ever noticed some bright red spots? Do you have any deep cracks? The surface of the tongue reveals significant information about underlying imbalances. In this video, you will learn what cracks, spots, red dots, and bumps all mean.
  6. Under the Tongue / Sublingual Veins - Chances are you haven't looked at the underside of your tongue lately. In this video, you will learn how to assess the underside of the tongue, a relatively unknown part of the body, including sublingual vein distension.
  7. The Meaning of Tongue Shape - Tongues come in all shapes and sizes. In this video, you will learn all about the different tongue shapes and what they reveal. From thick and swollen tongues to short and narrow ones, you'll learn what your tongue shape reveals.
  8. Tongue Tension & Engagement - Have you ever noticed if your tongue deviates to one side? Are your tongue edges curled up? Is the tip stiff? Is the entire tongue stiff? This video will teach you how to assess tension and engagement of the tongue.
  9. Color of the Tongue Body - Last but not certainly not least, this video will teach you how to analyze the color of the tongue. Tongue color provides vital information about the quality of the blood and the health of the circulatory system. Is your tongue red or pale? Bluish or purple? Discover what it all meals and find out what the ideal tongue color is.
