The Tongue as a Diagnostic Beacon
Traditional Chinese medicine highlights the tongue's color, shape, and texture as indicators of wellness, serving as a diagnostic tool for various diseases. Recent research from Iraq and Australia has developed a highly accurate algorithm capable of predicting diseases by analyzing tongue color, achieving approximately 98% accuracy.

Notable findings include that purple tongues may indicate cancer, white tongues can suggest anemia, and COVID-19 can cause a redder appearance, reinforcing the potential diagnostic value of tongue assessment.
