I can tell from the five senses on your face.
For example, the eyes reflect the condition of the liver,
The ear is the external manifestation of the kidney.
So what do lips reflect?
Chinese medicine believes that "the mouth and lips are used for opening and closing, outside the heart;
Sound comes from the mouth, and food comes from the mouth, which is the key to the viscera. "
All the meridians of the human body are directly related to the lips.
You can also see your health from your lips!
If the lips have these six "abnormalities", don't ignore them.

Lack of "water"

neglect
Accumulated heat
Symptoms: "Spleen begins to know the mouth, and its brilliance lies in the lips", indicating that the color of lips is closely related to the transportation and transformation of spleen. If the lips are inflamed, swollen or even broken, there may be something wrong with the spleen and stomach.
Suggestion:
● This kind of people like to eat spicy and irritating food, which can easily lead to heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, thus causing lip rupture. If the symptoms are severe and accompanied by constipation, medicated leaven and malt should be used to promote spleen and stomach transport, and coptis root should be used to remove spleen and stomach heat accumulation.

● For people who are anxious, nervous and excited, cheilitis may be repeated. Try to drink Ganmai jujube soup (licorice and wheat are equal, soaked in water).
Special note: If there is always a layer of white material on the lips, it means that the body's metabolism is too fast, and many dead cells are covered on the lips before they fall off. This shows that our metabolism is abnormal and should be paid attention to. Lips suddenly appear purple or white, accompanied by precordial pain, dyspnea and other symptoms, which may be a sudden heart attack. It is best to go to the hospital in time.
