>Hi,
A purplish tongue means blood stagnation or clots. I have this, as I
have a clotting problem with my IR and I also have endometriosis. I
learned this through going to acupuncture. The dr. looks at my tongue
and can tell alot what is wrong with me. He says from the location of
the purple on the tongue he can see where the blood stagnation is in my
body, usually in my pelvic area (endometriosis).
Try some vitamin E, and asprin 81mg 1 x day, vitamin B6 to help your
blood flow. You may also want to try acupuncture and herbs as an
alternative, I really think they are helping me.
