4. Regarding Tongue Cracks

Q: I’m 27 years old and have had many cracks on my tongue since childhood, which have become more pronounced recently. I often feel irritable and depressed, and have tried traditional Chinese medicine without success. Can someone like me still be cured?

A: Tongue cracks indicate yin deficiency, where yin deficiency leads to internal heat and damage to the tongue, causing it to appear dry and cracked—like mud on a riverbed that dries out and cracks under the sun. You should drink more water, stay active, and take traditional Chinese medicines such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan, Qi Ju Di Huang Wan, and Mai Wei Di Huang Wan regularly for long-term effectiveness.
