I visited my acupuncturist this past week.  I have always known part of their
evaluation is to look at a person's tongue.  She is a M.D. from China and has
practiced acupunture for over 30 years.  She said that usually in an adult a
white tongue is an indicator of poor digestion.  She said poor digestion or
difficulty with peristalsis was often the case in infants too, but sometimes
it could also be an indicator of  respiratory problems in infants. For those
of you who are still curious...
