Chong She (Double Tongue / Sublingual swelling resembling a small tongue) indicates pathology of the Heart and Spleen. The Heart opens into the tongue and governs Blood, while the Spleen's collaterals connect to the underside of the tongue; furthermore, Fire (Heart) and Earth (Spleen) share a mother-son relationship. When Heat is present, it causes both Qi and Blood to flourish excessively. The manifestation involves swelling attached beneath the tongue, near its root, forming a shape similar to the tongue but slightly shorter and smaller with a different color. Acupuncture may also be appropriate. If the swelling occurs on the inner cheek or palate, it is termed *Chong Shi* (a variant term for sublingual swelling). If it occurs on the gingiva, it is termed *Chong Yin* (Double Gingiva).
Mu She (Wooden Tongue / Stiff and swollen tongue) results from stagnation in the Zang-Fu organs, where accumulated Heat in the Heart and Spleen forces Qi upward. This causes the tongue to swell, become enlarged at the tip, and fill the mouth. If not treated urgently, it can be fatal. One must not press the tongue with hands, as this damages the root, potentially leading to speech impediments later. If the condition progresses to silent crying, frequent changes in facial complexion, and convulsive pain, it is incurable. Although tongue diseases primarily belong to the Heart and Spleen, the Liver meridian also connects to the root of the tongue. Thus, when Cold Damage pathogens transmit to the Jueyin channel, symptoms such as tongue retraction and testicular contraction occur, which serves as a general analogy.
Nong She (Playing Tongue / Frequent protrusion of the tongue) indicates slight Heat in the Spleen causing mild tension in the tongue collaterals, resulting in intermittent tongue protrusion. Treatment should avoid excessive use of cold-natured herbs. Even if the patient desires water, it is due to Spleen deficiency and insufficient body fluids. If Nong She appears at the end of a severe illness, the prognosis is ominous. Prolonged protrusion with slow retraction is called "Shu" (Relaxed/Extended). Brief protrusion followed by quick retraction, accompanied by a dry, swollen, and rough tongue, is called "Nong" (Playing/Moving). Spontaneous bleeding from the tongue is called "She Nu" (Tongue Hemorrhage). All these are collectively manifestations of Heart and Spleen Heat syndromes.
