👅 Your tongue has a lot to say about your work-life balance! 🏗️ In Ayurveda, the tongue acts as a map of your health—acting as a microscope into what’s happening internally. For women in construction and trades, where stress and irregular schedules are common, tongue assessment can be an essential check-in for your wellness. 🔍 What Your Tongue Might Be Telling You: Teeth Marks on the Sides (Scalloping) *What it means: It could also mean inflammation or that your tongue is swollen. It may be a sign of sleep apnea. *Work-life link: You may be skipping meals to keep up with your work schedule or digesting your meals poorly due to stress. Sleep may be affected which affects your well-being and productivity. Trembling tongue *What it means: If your tongue trembles or is tense when you stick it out, your nervous system may be stressed or overwhelmed. There also could be a buildup of 'ama' or undigested waste in your system leading to anxiety. *Work-life link: Anxiety or Stress, irregular mealtimes or too much caffeine are some issues that could cause this. Thick White Coating *What it means: Digestive imbalance. "Slow" digestion. *Work-life link: Rushed or irregular meals due to busy workdays. Eating or snacking too frequently. Thick Yellow Coating *What it means: Digestive imbalance- too much heat in the GI tract. *Work-life link: Too much heat in your GI tract (think IBS, crohn's, etc.) can lead a lot of pain or discomfort. When we feel uncomfortable, it's hard to be as effective as you'd like to be at work. Pointed Red Tongue *What it means: Excess of heat in the GI tract and blood *Work-life link: Stress may be building up, may be taking on too much responsibility and eating spicy or heating foods. Red Patches (Geographic Tongue) *What it means: Inflammation or digestive heat. Nutritional deficiencies. *Work-life link: May not be digesting food effectively, stress could be affecting digestion. Cracks in the Tongue *What it means: Dehydration or nutrient deficiency. *Work-life link: You might be forgetting to hydrate or nourish yourself regularly. Dry Tongue *What it means: If your tongue is dry, maybe it reminds you of a cat's tongue, that is a sign that your GI tract is dry. You may be experiencing constipation, gas, bloating, and be dehydrated. *Work-life link: Being internally dry and the issues that it leads to make it very difficult to feel comfortable in your body and thrive at work. 🔄 If you’re attending the NAWIC South Atlantic Region Fall Conference in Richmond, VA, November 7-9, I’ll be there as a sponsor, offering tongue assessments and other wellness insights!
