There is a crack on the tongue, which is called cracked tongue in Chinese medicine. Cracks on the tongue can be seen on the whole tongue, as well as in front of the tongue, the tip of the tongue and the edge of the tongue. Cracks can be human shapes, Sichuan shapes, and so on. What are these reasons?

First, the tongue is red and cracked, mostly due to heat hurting the yin. The loss of water in the body causes the tongue to crack, which is equivalent to a long drought and scorching sun. The land in the field is prone to cracks after long-term exposure.

Try to avoid eating hot food in daily life, and eat more tremella, mung bean, duck, pear, lotus root and so on.

Second, if there is a light tongue and cracks, it is mostly blood deficiency. The body lacks water, because blood deficiency is not superior to tongue coating, so the tongue coating will be pale and cracked if it is not nourished.

It is recommended to eat more spinach, animal liver, eggs and fish. You can also cook porridge with longan, red dates and japonica rice.

Third, if the tongue is pale, white, fat and tender, there are teeth marks on the side, but it is mostly because of weak temper. Spleen deficiency is weak in transport and transformation, and subtle substances cannot nourish our tongue, so the tongue is pale, white and fat.

There are teeth marks on the edge, but cracks can be seen. Usually, it is recommended to eat more white lentils, red beans, fried coix seed, poria cocos and yam.

Fourth, some people are born with shallow cleft called congenital cleft lip, which is generally covered with tongue coating. There is no uncomfortable feeling to be distinguished from the above three kinds of cracks.
