Significance of Paridagdha

In Ayurveda, Paridagdha describes a specific tongue appearance. This tongue is red or angry-looking and is associated with several conditions. These include sprue, pellagra, severe or untreated diabetes, and prolonged fever. It is also linked to Pittaja vruddi, which relates to an imbalance of Pitta dosha, and Sannipataja jwara, a fever arising from the aggravation of all three doshas. The tongue's appearance serves as a diagnostic indicator in Ayurvedic medicine.
