Most diseases of the body’s internal organs also manifest in the composition of the breath and the coating on the tongue. Harmful substances that accumulate in the body tend to cling to the airways and the pharynx. Thanks to this aspect, it is possible to perform a quick test of the health of the body’s internal organs. All you need is a metal spoon.
How to perform the quick test
Tongue coating usually contains a range of bacteria that return from the body’s organs into the mouth. If the coating does not have a neutral color and smell, you can use it to identify various ailments associated with kidney or liver function, food metabolism, or hormonal changes.
Performing the test is very easy and proceeds as follows:
- Take a metal teaspoon and scrape the coating from your tongue – try to collect the sample as close to the throat as possible; it should be most informative there.
- Place the collected sample along with the spoon into a plastic bag, seal it to prevent air from entering, and leave it for 60 seconds away from intense heat and light (sunlight and strong light can accelerate bacterial activity and thus spoil the sample).
- After 60 seconds remove the sample and check the condition of the coating.
Evaluating the test
The test is evaluated based on the appearance and smell of the coating after removal from the bag. If the coating remains neutral in both color and smell (no changes occur), this indicates good health of the internal organs and the oral cavity. If you observe changes in color or odor, you should take notice, as they may be signs of bacterial growth and indicate a developing problem inside your body.
- Color changes: They may indicate problems with the lungs, liver, kidneys, or intestines. If they appear, you should visit a specialist and request preventive screening.
- Slightly sweet smell: It may be a sign of metabolic problems, which can be associated with diabetes.
- Odor without color change: It is likely a problem in the oral cavity.
Conclusion
A quick test using a spoon can provide important information about the health of your internal organs. You should pay attention to the test results and, if you have any problems, do not hesitate to visit a doctor. This simple test can be a useful tool for early detection of health complications and thus contribute to their effective management.
