Tongue diagnosis help

What symptoms, if any, is he having that are of concern? How long have you see those particular markings on the tongue? How old is he and what is his diet like? Finally, have you taken him to an acupuncturist locally? if not, why not?

I’m assuming you are primarily concerned with the peeled part in the lv/gb part of the tongue. That area may have always been there (i.e. geographic tongue), so it’s important to mention if it is newer and if it corresponds with any current health issues. Also, just for peace of mind perhaps, don’t too closely associate the lv/gb system from Chinese Medicine theory with just the physical liver and gallbladder organs - it is much more than that (see “My liver is what?”). In other words, the liver system may very well have issues from a Chinese Medicine perspective, but that doesn’t mean he has (or even will have) any physical liver organ problems.
