Observing facial features can provide insight into the body’s health status, a concept that has existed since ancient times. The face serves as a reflection area of the body, and the conditions of different parts can reflect the health status of organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Here are some specific observation guidelines and corresponding health management suggestions:
1. Reproductive System: The area between the philtrum and lips is related to the reproductive system. For women, moles or pimples below the lips or redness under the chin may indicate retroverted uterus and discomfort in the waist area. Poor conditions or abnormal colors around the lips also suggest reproductive system issues. For men, moles or pimples around the lips, and abnormalities in the shape and color of the upper lip, may be related to prostate health.
2. Heart: The health status of the heart is reflected between the inner corners of the eyes and the bridge of the nose. The appearance of horizontal lines may indicate an irregular heartbeat. Deep lines accompanied by vertical lines on the tongue may point to severe heart disease. Additionally, abnormalities in this area are associated with various cardiovascular diseases.
3. Nervous System and Sleep: Vertical lines and redness between the eyebrows may reflect inadequate blood supply to the brain, poor sleep quality, and other issues.
4. Chest Health: The area between the inner corners of the eyes and the bridge of the nose can reveal chest health issues, such as breast tenderness or lobular hyperplasia in women, and pleurisy in men. Small bumps at the inner corners of the eyes may also signal breast problems.
5. Liver: The color and skin condition in the middle and sides of the bridge of the nose can reveal the liver’s health status, such as fatty liver or liver heat.
6. Spleen: The color and shape of the tip of the nose are linked to spleen function. Redness or swelling may indicate spleen heat or enlargement, while yellow or white hints at spleen deficiency.
7. Respiratory System: The lower forehead and area between the eyebrows are related to the respiratory system. Dull color, concavity, or spots may represent lung diseases or respiratory issues.
For improving facial complexion:
– Yellowish complexion: Usually related to the spleen and stomach, ensure adequate sleep, have a balanced diet, consume moderate sugar, and include blood-nourishing foods like red dates and longans.
– Bluish complexion: Related to liver and gallbladder function, maintain a calm mindset, eat sour foods like spinach and oranges, and relax by soaking feet in warm water at night.
– Reddish complexion: Indicates cardiovascular issues, maintain a calm mindset, consume bitter foods, avoid extreme temperature changes, and gently care for facial skin.
– Dark complexion: Possibly linked to the kidneys, consume seafood, drink warm water, maintain skin hygiene, and include foods rich in vitamins A, C, E.
– Pale complexion: Signals lung and colon issues, adjust by consuming spicy foods like mustard, onions, mint, as well as nuts, legumes, and meats.
By carefully observing subtle changes in facial features, we can better understand our own health status and take appropriate measures for self-care.
