Facial examination is to observe the abnormal changes and distribution areas of facial skin such as color, muscle shape, wrinkles, spots and acne; The diagnosis of scraping is to carefully find the positive reaction when shaving, and determine the nature and location of the positive reaction, analyze the cause of facial skin diseases, and determine the meridians and viscera organs of qi and blood imbalance in the body.
Chinese medicine believes that the lung governs the fur, the spleen governs the muscles, the liver governs the muscles, the heart governs the blood vessels, and the kidney governs the bones, so the skin, meridians, muscles and bones of the face are managed and regulated by the five internal organs respectively. At the same time, different regions of the face follow different meridians, corresponding to different organs. The same part of the face is not only the distribution area of meridian skin, but also a holographic acupoint area of viscera. Neijing, a classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, records that the distribution area of five internal organs on the face is divided according to the law of "internal and external correspondence, upper and lower phases, left and right phases, and Chinese treatment of each other". Therefore, the same part should be managed and adjusted multiple times, and the causes of facial skin lesions should be comprehensively analyzed with reference to various positioning methods.
The location of facial five internal organs has been recorded in Neijing for a long time. The positioning of Five Colors of Lingshu is that "Tang Ming's bones are high, flat and straight, with five internal organs subordinate to the center, six internal organs on both sides, the first face in the que, the palace in the lower pole and the five internal organs in the chest". Diseases of the five internal organs can be reflected on the corresponding faces. "Su Wen pricks hot articles" records: "Those with liver heat must first have a red left cheek; Yan Xianchi, a warm-hearted person; People with spleen heat have a red nose first; For those with lung heat, the right cheek is red first, and those with kidney heat are red first. " The face is divided into five internal organs with the center as the five internal organs and six internal organs on both sides. According to the forehead, it belongs to the heart, the left cheek belongs to the liver, the right cheek belongs to the lung, the nose belongs to the spleen and the chin belongs to the kidney.
"LingShu. "Pathogenic Zang-fu Disease Syndrome" records: "the twelve meridians has 365 collaterals, and its qi and blood are all in the exterior but deficiency (point) is removed." Among the meridians of facial circulation, Yangming meridian of hand and foot is the most widely distributed in the face, and Yangming meridian is a meridian full of qi and blood, which is very important for nourishing facial skin. In Su Wen's "On Ancient Naivety", it is said that (female) Yangming's pulse declines in May 7th, and the face begins to focus ",and" (male) Yang declines in June 8th, and the face begins to focus ". That is, after the female is 35 years old and the male is 48 years old, due to the gradual weakening of Yangming meridian qi, the face begins to lose moisture and gradually gaunt. Thousands of pores on Qian Qian's skin are "places where the source is really unobstructed".
There are nine meridians in facial meridians. Through the exterior-interior relationship of Yin and Yang meridians and the collateral relationship of odd meridians, eight veins and other fifteen collaterals, the Yin meridians connected with the five internal organs are also indirectly reflected in the face. Because the meridians are connected with the viscera, the face can reflect the ups and downs of the functions of the meridians and viscera of the whole body. The distribution of meridians directly following the face is as follows.
The du meridian runs from the forehead along the midline to the upper lip of the face. Ren meridian runs along the lower lip of the face to the mandibular and anterior midline of the neck. Other meridians are symmetrical.
The bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang starts from the inner corner of the eye and goes up to the head.
The gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang starts from the outer corner of the eye, reaches the front and back of the ear, goes up to the forehead, reaches the lateral head, and then reaches both sides of the forehead from the lateral head.
The triple energizer meridian of shaoyang hand enters the ear from behind the ear, runs from the front of the ear, and obliquely goes up to the outside of the eyebrow.
The stomach meridian of Foot Yangming originates from the center of the lower eye and face, descends between the lower lip and the lower jaw through the corners of the mouth, and then goes back to the upper ear at the mandibular angle along the lower back of the mouth and chin, and reaches the forehead along the hairline. Stomach meridian of Foot Yangming is the longest in the face.
Hand, sun and small intestine follow the meridian. Reach the cheeks and cheekbones and turn to the middle ear.
Hand Yangming large intestine meridian from neck. It goes up to the mandible, up through the upper lip and ends next to the contralateral alar.
The branches of the liver meridian of Foot Jueyin run upward from the skull, through the orbit to the forehead to the top, and intersect with the Du Meridian. The other branch of the eye system runs down the orbit and around the mouth and lips.
The face is the epitome of the whole, and holographic acupoints correspond to various organs of the body. Because the microscopic pathological changes of zang-fu organs will be reflected in the holographic points with the same name as local organs, the face can reflect the ups and downs of the whole body. The distribution of facial holographic acupoints is as follows.
The center of the forehead is the holographic acupoint area of the head, throat and neck.
Between the eyebrows is the holographic acupoint area of the lung.
Between the eyes is the holographic acupoint area of the heart.
In the middle of the bridge of the nose is the holographic point of the liver, the pancreas on the left and the holographic point of the gallbladder on the right.
The nose is the holographic acupoint area of the spleen, and the alar on both sides is the holographic acupoint area of the stomach.
The upper part of cheekbone is the holographic acupoint area of large intestine and small intestine.
Below the outer corner of the eye and above the cheekbones are holographic points of the upper limbs and shoulder joints.
On both sides above the lips are holographic acupoints of the bladder. The lower part of cheeks on both sides of lips is the holographic acupoint area of lower limbs and knee joint.
The lower middle part of the lip and the outer corner of the eye, and the outer side of the cheek and cheekbone are the holographic points of the kidney.
Facial skin is thin and tender, with numerous capillaries and vigorous qi and blood. Observe the facial color, spots, acne, papules, furuncle, nevus, leukoplakia and other parts, the shape and duration of the lesions, in order to understand the health status of the whole body, which is helpful to judge the cause and nature of cosmetic diseases.
Color diagnosis means looking at the color and luster of the face. Morphological diagnosis is to observe the size of skin pores, the depth of wrinkles, whether muscles are tense, stiff or slack, and whether local areas are convex or concave. At the same time, distinguish the whole face from a certain part. Observe the pore size and moisturizing degree of facial skin, whether the elastic change of skin is related to age, and whether the wrinkles and skin relaxation are consistent with age. The investigation of color morphology should be based on the combination of qi, color and morphology. The change of color and morphology indicates the viscera and pathological nature of the lesion, and the change of qi is reflected from the luster, indicating the rise and fall of healthy qi. To judge which abnormal facial problems correspond to physical condition, we must first know what is normal facial color. Then let's first understand the normal facial color form here.
Normal skin color is related to heredity and influenced by regional environment. The normal skin color of the yellow race is red and yellow, bright and subtle, moist and shiny, good and normal, reflecting the normal function of the viscera, the balance of yin and yang, and the harmony of qi and blood.
Skin color will undergo physiological changes with age, season, place and living habits. For example, people who have lived in the plateau for a long time have more purple faces, and those who work indoors all the year round have more vows. Individual genetic differences, or seasonal changes, living environment, will appear discoloration. As long as the colors are harmonious, bright and subtle, they are all normal.
Normal facial pores are delicate and skin elasticity is good. Full and elastic facial skin is a good function of the spleen and stomach.
A good symbol. Wrinkles began to appear after the age of 25, and gradually increased over the age of 30.
Knowing what is normal facial color, we have a standard criterion to judge abnormal color. According to this scale, we can know where the anomaly is.
