Think back to your last visit to a general doctor; what are the first
things he looks at?
He asks you to stick out your tongue, he examines your eyes and takes an
almost kinky interest in your mouth and ears. All this is not to follow some
protocol but to read the signs of your body’s health. Visual diagnosis has been
followed through the ages; this is because your face is the most illuminating
part of your body and provides great insights into the functioning and status of
your organs. This is because our body is a coherent machine where all the parts
work in symphony and harmony, with the same energy flowing through our veins.
Let us take a look at what can be ascertained by examining the face。
Face and Body: Connections 脸部和身体状况的关系
Why your face is such a good mirror of your general health –
1. Your mouth is the entry to the digestive system and hence provides the
basic diagnosis of your digestive tract。
2. Your nose is the ingress to the respiratory system and thus is a fine
place to begin to understand your respiratory health。
3. The eyes are directly connected to the optic nerve, the brain and the
nervous system, which also explains our heavy reliance on our sense of
vision。
4. The ears send sound signals to the brain, making up the auditory
system。
5. Did you think ‘rosy cheeks’ were just part of a poem? The colour of your
cheeks actually represents the health of your lungs。
6. Dark circles and bad skin under the eyes reflect poor kidney health。
7. The condition of your forehead reflects the condition of your
bladder。
Symptoms, their meanings and solutions 症状及症状说明和解决途径
Forehead acne 额头的痘痘
First connection, the forehead reflects the general condition of your
digestive system. So acne in this region is a sign that you’re not really
pampering your stomach and such. We might think of pampering as filling it up
with rich foods and corpulent amounts of alcohol, but to the body the exact
opposite is true. Too much oil or grease is what causes the acne, and the booze
doesn’t help either. Healthier food habits, like a high-fibre and low-carb diet
will set this right。
Dark circles and under-eye bags 黑眼圈和眼袋
Dark circles and under-eye bags, though mostly hereditary, do sometimes
appear all of a sudden or get worse than before. This is a clear indication of
deteriorating health. Dark circles and bags under your eyes are known to be
linked to the kidneys. Discolouration in this area could mean that the toxins
are building up in your kidneys, or even general dehydration. This could be a
result of excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption. On the other hand, it could
also be the result of certain deficiencies such as vitamin B12 or Iron。
Congested cheeks 面部潮红
One of the most common complaints about the face is white spots near the
cheeks. This is because these spots can result from simple reasons such as bad
cosmetics or unclean pillows. This doesn’t mean that you can dismiss them
lightly because this part of your face also corresponds to the health of your
lungs. So the spots can be indicative of a respiratory problem, such as in
smokers or asthmatics. This is because they are prone to breaking of capillaries
in the cheeks. This is not as dramatic as it sounds so don’t freak out. A visit
to a dermatologist should solve it。
Moles 痣
Ever heard people complimenting “that sexy mole”? Apart from being kind-of
attractive when in the right places, a mole is not always bad even from your
health point of view. Research has actually found that people with more moles
have stronger bones and are less likely to suffer osteoporosis. The benefits are
not limited to the bones. People with moles are known to have healthier eyes and
even a more well-functioning heart. So don’t curse your moles. If you have them,
feel blessed。 |
