Red tongue

舌红 〔舌紅〕 shé hóng

A tongue redder than normal. A red tongue indicates either vacuity heat or repletion heat. Crimson (deep red or maroon), is also associated with heat, but the added depth of color indicates that the heat is located in the provisioning or blood aspect.

See tongue examination.
