nichole: okay, so, do you really want to seemy tongue stick to the camera? melanie: yeah! let's do it!nichole: hello livelies. i am so excited you are here today because i have someone veryspecial here with me today. her name is melanie. melanie is a chemical herbalist and founderof psyche and soma. her clients are generous, loving and accomplish. the only problem isthat their bodies are buckling under the weight of stress and pressure of modern life.she helps women who are struggling with everything from menstrual cycles and fertility to theirdigestion and autoimmune illnesses. applying her knowledge of traditional chinese medicine,ayurvida, western herbalism and expressive arts, melanie helps her clients to heal naturallyso they can feel themselves again.

alright, i am so excited to have you heremelanie. melanie: i am so excited to be here, thankyou for having me on your show. really excited. nichole: so the reason why i wanted melanieto come on, not only she's brilliant, amazing and wise, is it i'm on her email list andshe sends out this thing about your tongue! your tongue. yeah. your tongue. and how theirsigns, your tongue, can tell you really valuable things that's going on with your health. andi totally believe this because last year, i deal with a very bad case of acne. bad,like the worst i ever had in my life. i have so much more compassion on people withacne because it's so embarrassing. i didn't want to wear on makeup, like we're on zac.that's how bad it was. and you know, all these

people have all these crazy ideas from meand what i could do externally, i know there was something going on inside with me becausei know and truly believe that when things are show up on your skin, and in this caseeven in your tongue, that it's a sign that your body is trying to say something thatyou're doing or something that you're eating, something in your lifestyle is not good foryou. and it took me a long time to figure out. if you're curious, i had this bacteriain my stomach and ended up taking colloidal silver and it got rid of it which is great.and then i kind of realize that i can't eat peanut butter anymore and even like processsugar like i don't eat a lot of but i really love ice cream, if i eat ice cream like allof a sudden i get pimple. i have to really

ask myself because i have that spoon in myhand, and i'm like, "hmm... this is going to be worth it." because tomorrow i'm gonnawake up pimple. so anyway, melanie, let's talk about yourtongue and what this is all about? give us some insight.melanie: yeah sure. first of all, i totally hear you on the skin thing. there's actually...you can read the face in a similar way that you in read in the tongue which is a wholeother topic of the chapter of discussion. but the actual place is where your pimpleshow up can really you about what's going inside the bodies.so your intuition, as usual, was really on there. and the tongue reading is somethinga lot of people haven't heard of before. the

way it was taught to me as part of the traditionalchinese medicines. so most people are kind of familiar with ideaof acupuncture which is one of the modalities that is use in our system. i practice herbalmedicine, so i use the herbs rather than the acupuncture and where we're looking throughat that land traditional chinese medicine, we're looking really at the whole body, thewhole self. so, much of its very similar of what you teach nichole, like it's not justone part of the body that it's going wrong, it's the pattern of our imbalance that's notonly happen in our physical body but include your mind, your heart, your emotions and alsothe way that you're relating with your environment. and because this is a holistic system, thesmall part of the body will reflect the whole.

so in this case, we can actually look at yourtongue. look at the different areas of your tongue, the different signs that show up inyour tongue and get a little bit of insight, the patterns that is affecting the rest ofyour body. so it's not a way of diagnosis disease. youguys will see us do it as we're gonna read nichole's tongue a little bit today. so it'snot like we looked at your tongue and then we go, "oh, you're not gonna have a heartattack." "oh my god!" you can't diagnose disease this way. but whatyou can see are the ways your body which is vulnerable and the ways that you're more likelyout of the balance if you don't care of things. and then what's super awesome is that youcan watch your tongue as you change your lifestyle

or as you try to take care better of yourselfand see if some of those signs start to improve or start to look a little bit of less intenseor less severe than they were before.
