Diagnostic method of sublingual collaterals and its application on blood stasis syndrome

舌下络脉诊法是中医诊断的方法之一,自先秦以来就有所记载和应用。通过观察舌下络脉的形态和色泽,可用于了解气血的运行,亦可用于相关疾病的诊断。正常人舌下络脉常隐现于舌下,不增粗,无曲张,多为淡紫色。对于异常舌下络脉的判别,现有等级分度法和评分法两种类型。近年来,逐渐证实舌下络脉对于血瘀证有较好的诊断价值,能较好的反映人体气血运行的情况,在心脑血管疾病、肺系疾病、癌症等方面都有较为广泛的应用。

Sublingual collaterals it is one of the important diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine,documented and applied into clinical practice since the pre-Qin dynasty. By observing the shape and color of sublingual collaterals,we can know the circulation of qi and blood,and we can also use this information to diagnose the related diseases. Normal sublingual collaterals often hide under the tongue with regular shape and pale-purple color. For abnormal sublingual collaterals,there are two types of diagnostic method： rating and grading. In recent years,more studies proved that sublingual collaterals had greater diagnostic value for blood stasis syndrome because sublingual collaterals can better reflect the operation of blood and qi. Diagnostic method of sublingual collaterals can be widely used in disease diagnosis of many diseases like heart cerebrovascular disease,lung disease and cancer.
