Decoding Health: What Your Tongue Color Reveals About Your Body, According to Ayurveda

Kathmandu. When we visit a doctor due to viral infections, fever, or any other illness, they first examine our eyes and tongue. While this may seem like a simple procedure to many, there is deep scientific and Ayurvedic knowledge behind it.

The eyes show the body's fatigue and blood condition, while the tongue directly indicates the condition of our digestive system, liver, blood, and the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). According to Ayurveda, the tongue reflects the body's internal activities. Its color, texture, and moisture indicate whether everything inside the body is balanced.
