Tongue examination? Foot examination?

Could somebody explain these? When you go to an alternative health practitioner they do a visual tongue exam and feel your feet. They also check your blood to see how fast it is moving or clumping? What are they looking for in these exams?

Depends on what kind of blood testing they are doing...If equipped well they can see if there's parasites, fungus or over growth of yeast in just a couple of drops of blood..They also check free radical damages to cells and your white blood count.

The foot exam tells them about certain major organs and where there might be weakness and troubles...Not so sure what exactly they look for on the tongue but I am sure it is more than drainage.

Probably NOT checking what you think
Looking into the mouth to check dental health, throat, any sinus drainage.
Looking at feet, checking for edema (swelling)
And I have NO idea what you mean my checking how fast your blood is moving.
