【運舌養生】舌頭也可做運動
根據中醫理論，五官與五臟有著極密切的關係，故有「鼻為肺之官、目為肝之官、口唇為脾之官、舌為心之官、耳為腎之官」的說法，舌是心臟的外在表現，舌色紅潤代表心之氣血充足，舌頭靈活亦反映心的功能狀態，有一種名為「攬海」的舌頭運動，多運動舌頭可以間接刺激大腦，達到強身健體的功效。

左右擺動

Move your tongue to stay young
According to Chinese medicine theory, the five senses are closely related to the five organs, hence the saying ‘nose is the sense of the lungs, eyes are the sense of the liver, mouth is sense of the spleen, tongue is the sense of the heart, nose is sense of the kidneys.’ The health of your heart is reflected in your tongue- red and moist tongue means you have sufficient qi and blood; nimble tongue means your heart function is healthy. Exercising your tongue can directly stimulate the mind and improve overall health.
Up and down movement
