This is interesting..🤔🧐

From birth, your tongue is actually connected to your toes through an intricate network of connective tissue known as fascia.

If your tongue is not resting correctly in your mouth due to mouth breathing, things can get out of alignment in your mouth and the rest of your body.
Tongue posture can lead to a foot imbalance and vice versa because the tongue guides all myofascial continuity structures that run from the inner arch of the foot up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

When the tongue sits on top of the palate, it seals the oral cavity and holds the throat open like a tent. These muscles support the neck, keep your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture upright.
Your tongue also acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line, and when the tongue is down, we breathe through our mouth, and the head falls forward due to lack of support, which leads to poor posture and increased energy expenditure.

🌿Did you know your tongue can reveal a lot about your health? In Chinese medicine, the surface of the tongue is a powerful tool for diagnosing disorder in the body.👅

Each section of the tongue corresponds to different organ systems:
🔹 Tip: Heart & Lungs ❤️
🔹 Center: Spleen & Stomach 🍽️
🔹 Sides: Liver & Gallbladder 🍃
🔹 Root: Kidneys & Bladder 💧

By examining the color, shape, and coating of your tongue, Chinese medicine practitioners (acupuncturists) can gain insights into your overall well-being and identify imbalances. For example, red dots on the liver section means something different than cracks in the coating through the stomach area.

Changes to the tongue can happen quickly. This means acupuncturists can monitor your tongue during a treatment to see if their needle application is creating the desired effects in your body! 🤯
