Say “Ahhhh” - Ayurvedic Tongue Analysis with Vasant Lad

Come to know the language of the tongue

We’ve all done it - sticking our tongue out in front of the bathroom mirror just to be presented with more mysteries. All the while as we stare at the strange landscape of our tongue we wonder, “Does my tongue have something to teach me?” 

In Ayurveda the tongue plays a crucial role in analysis and treatment recommendations. The color, lines, shape, and marks all tell the story of what is happening inside your body. Whether it’s understanding the state of certain organs or the effects of the different tastes we experience, the tongue is one of the most important chapters in the story of our health. 

What is tongue analysis?

Ayurvedic practitioners and physicians use a number of diagnostic methods that provide an insight into various aspects of the body. In Ayurveda the tongue is not just an organ of taste, but also a strong tool for diagnosis - complementary with pulse, nails, eye, and face analysis. The tongue is widely regarded as a window of the inner system - and can give very clear indications for doshic imbalances and organ health.

Topics will we cover in this webinar

In this webinar with Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc, Founder and Director of the Ayurvedic Institute, you will explore:

1. A map of the tongue as it relates to key organs in the body

2. The significance of various colors, the direction and placement of lines, indentations, and other markings on the tongue 

3. Various aspects of the tongue in relation to the wider body and any associated pathologies 

Vasant Lad regularly pauses during the webinar, offering the opportunity to ask questions. All our webinars include ample time at the end for a longer Q&A.

Please note: We often cannot answer all questions posed to Vasant Lad and will focus on those related to the topic of the webinar.
