TCM Tongue Diagnosis Chart Poster — Tongue Types & Organ Correspondence

Unlock one of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s most powerful diagnostic tools with this beautifully designed TCM Tongue Diagnosis Chart Poster — a comprehensive visual reference that brings the ancient art of tongue diagnosis to life on your clinic or study room wall.

In TCM, the tongue is considered a mirror of the body’s internal organs. By examining its colour, shape, coating, and moisture, practitioners can identify patterns of disharmony, assess the state of Qi and Blood, and gain direct insight into the health of the major organ systems — all before a single question is asked. This poster captures that entire diagnostic framework in one clear, elegant chart.

What It Shows:

Tongue-Organ Mapping The tongue divided into topographic zones, each corresponding to specific organ systems — the tip reflecting the Heart and Lungs, the center representing the Spleen and Stomach, the sides indicating the Liver and Gallbladder, and the root corresponding to the Kidneys, Bladder, and Intestines.

Tongue Shapes & Types
