Chances are you probably don't spend too much time examining your tongue, but a quick glance can reveal a surprising amount about the state of your overall health.
In fact, there's a whole range of information that can be gleaned from 'reading' its size, texture, colour and shape, according to Australian Chinese medical practitioner Waveny Holland.
Ms Holland explained that a tongue diagnosis uses a chart, one that corresponds to different parts of the body. And this can reveal signs of disease and imbalance that the patient may not even know.
From the tongue's texture, shape and colour, the expert told FEMAIL how you can read this organ to uncover a raft of health secrets.

Tongue colour:
'A normal, healthy tongue is usually a pinkish, light red, with a slight white coating and is neither too thick or thin and not flabby or overlapping the teeth, Ms Holland explained.
If circulation is restricted - this can occur during menstruation - the tongue may be more purple, she said.
A pale tongue can signal a vitamin or mineral deficiency and is more commonly seen among those suffering from anaemia.
A red tongue (depending on which area of the body this corresponds to on the tongue map) represents heat. This could indicate fever or a rise in body temperature associated with menopause.
Tongue shape:
The first part of a diagnosis may include a looking at the tongue's shape.
Ms Holland said a puffy tongue can suggest a lack of nutrients and moisture, while a thin tongue could suggest dehydration.

Tongue coating:
If the tongue has a thin, white coating this is considered healthy and normal, however, if there is no coating this may signal dehydration.
A yellow and dry tongue indicates "heat" in the body. The deeper the colour, the higher the level of body 'heat'.
This can indicate an infection or bacterial build-up or other imbalances.
A tongue with a grey and black appearance indicates 'stagnation'. Stagnation refers to the flow of energy, blood and fluid in the body.
Tongue surface texture:
A tongue which has bumps or protuberances or cracks can also reveal a range of health potential problems.
Bumps on the tongue are diagnosed depending where they are and what they look like specifically, said Ms Holland.

For instance, a bump on the top of the tongue may be a sign of a bacterial or viral infection or even a possible allergic reaction to medication.
Deep cracks in the centre indicate that a patient is prone to digestive issues while sores (ulcers) can indicate a deficiency.
A patchy tongue, also called a 'geographic tongue' can reflect heat in the stomach which may manifest as acid reflux.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
