Tongue Diagnostic Service

Tongue diagnostic skills are one of the most important components of the four diagnostic methods used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Careful tongue observation can reveal significant signs and imbalances, often before clients themselves are aware of symptoms. It helps reflect past health conditions as well as indicate potential future imbalances. For patients who live a long distance from my clinic, tongue diagnosis is a highly effective way to assess their condition from the comfort of their own home. Based on the tongue findings, herbal formulas are prescribed according to the individual’s condition and are typically reviewed on a weekly basis to ensure effectiveness and appropriate adjustment.

How to take tongue photos or videos correctly:

Please take the photo or video first thing in the morning, under natural light, after getting up and before eating or drinking anything. This helps show the most accurate reflection of your current health condition.
Use your phone’s main camera. You may ask someone to help you, or use a mirror so the camera can clearly focus on your tongue only. Please capture:
The whole tongue
The underside of the tongue
Images with and without flash, so the root of the tongue can be seen clearly
Please send:
Clear photos
A short video of your tongue
A brief description of your current signs and symptoms
Herbal formulas will then be prescribed accordingly and sent to you by first-class post, usually arriving within 1–2 days.
