Did you know your tongue can tell you a lot about your health? In Chinese medicine, the tongue is one of the most important tools practitioners use to understand what is happening inside your body.

You can do a quick self screen at home. Stand in front of a mirror, stick out your tongue, and take a look at its color, coating, shape, and tip.

A healthy tongue is pink with a thin, clear coating. If you notice teeth marks along the edges, swelling, or a thick coating, Chinese medicine links these signs to a digestive imbalance. If the tip of your tongue is redder than the rest, it is linked to the Heart and to restless sleep.

If your tongue looks different from that healthy pink, a health screening can help you understand what your body is telling you.

Book your health screening through the link in our bio or at www.vcmpt.comto learn what your tongue and pulse say about your overall health.

Happy National First Responders Day! Every October 28, we take time to honor the people who answer the call when our community needs help the most. Here on Martha’s Vineyard, that means the EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, dispatchers, and officers who show up for our island every day of the year.

Today we want to say thank you to Tisbury Ambulance Service, Oak Bluffs Fire-EMS, Edgartown Fire and Ambulance, and Tri-Town Ambulance, which serves Aquinnah, Chilmark, and West Tisbury. We also want to thank the Aquinnah, Chilmark, Tisbury, and West Tisbury fire departments, the Martha’s Vineyard Airport Fire Department, the Dukes County Communications Center dispatchers, our island police departments, and the emergency team at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital.

Thank you for caring for our island and our neighbors every single day.

The VCM team had so much fun at !!

Why are so many people with Parkinson’s putting on boxing gloves?

Parkinson’s affects movement, which can make steps shorter, balance less steady, and everyday movements slower and smaller. Boxing works on many of those same areas, because punching, footwork, weight shifting, and quick reactions all challenge balance, coordination, strength, and agility. Research suggests that this kind of high-effort exercise may help people with Parkinson’s improve their balance and mobility.

Boxing groups also give people with Parkinson’s something just as valuable, which is a community of others who understand what they’re going through and encourage each other to keep moving.

Save this post and share it with someone in your life who is living with Parkinson’s.
