Assess your tongue by coating, color, the thickness of your saliva, and the cracks on your tongue. A thick coating means that you have toxins, or ama in your blood. You may notice that you have bad breath whenever you have a thick coating on your tongue. The color of the coating indicates the nature of the toxins in your gut. Also check the color of the tongue itself. A pale tongue may indicate anemia. A bright tongue indicates heat conditions. Thick saliva indicates thick blood, due to dehydration or too many sweets. Cracks indicate the quality of your digestive tract.
Teeth should be a bright white. If they appear yellowish or gray, that is also a sign of toxins. To be thorough, check the color of the back of the throat and the underside of the tongue as well. Even if you don't know what the signs means, check your tongue in the mirror every day.
To keep your mouth healthy, brush your teeth, floss, and scrape your tongue every day. Avoid foods that leave a bad taste in your mouth 20 minutes later. Avoid chewing gum.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
