RE: Spleen Qi Deficiency: tongue with teeth marks around the margins

[Guest guest]

I noticed this after my initial infection from a probable tick bite, my

spleen often hurt, or at least that general area ached a lot. I have

read that can be due to excessive immune activation.

Spleen Qi Deficiency: tongue with teeth

marks around the margins

According to Chinese medicine people with CFS usually have a spleen

deficiency. I saw

several Chinese Medicine doctors and they all said I had a spleen

deficiency characterized

by teeth marks around the margins of my tongue when I stuck my tongue

out. Anyone else

have these?

" A flabby tongue body with teeth marks on the margin and pale in color

indicates a yang

deficiency of the spleen and kidney leading to accumulation and

obstruction of phlegm-

dampness. "

" Teeth Marks on Tongue Body (Scalloped)

If the tongue body has normal color, this usually indicates Spleen Qi

Deficiency

If there are teeth marks together with a swollen tongue, this may

indicate Spleen Yang

and/or Qi Deficiency.

If the tongue is also pale and moist, it is more likely Spleen "

Adelle talked about teeth marks around the tongue years ago as

being indicative of a B vitamin deficienty. Many people have this

phenomenon. In some people it comes and goes. In Chinese medicine it

is one indication of speen chi deficienty. According to Chinese

Medicine PWCs are spleen deficient, blood deficient, have shen

disturbence, too much heat, too much cold, too much damp, damp spleen,

liver and spleen not in harmony, true cold fals heat, reckless blood

marauding, fishbone stuck in throat, to much heat rising up, chi not

rising up, chi fall, rebellious chi. The list is endless. It's no

wonder, given the fact that many CFIDS patients have a list of

symptoms a page long!

In TCM (chinese med) the " spleen " means both the spleen and the pancreas, and

they

relate it to digestion and assimilation problems. If one is spleen Qi

deficient, then one's

digestion is weak, needs to be strengthened so the body can be strengthened...

I was told by an acunpucture Dr. it meant you are low on energy. Simple

explanation. It is always way more pronounced when I am at my sickest or

most fatigued. I also get this if I am dehydrated. Drinking a lot of

water plumps up my tongue and my energy.

just a brief comment about Chinese acupuncture definition of spleen- it

relates to digestion and not to the actual spleen

was told this by an acupuncturist from Taiwan, he said when the system was

set up they were hazy on anatomy

so a weak spleen means weak digestion, which the teeth marks also point to,

I have this condition and he told me it meant my digestion was so terrible

as food is the source of our energy, impairment could result in fatigue

though lately I am looking at other things, such as the Specific

Carbohydrate Diet, as a way to improve digestion beyond casein/gluten free
