The so-called mind, all parts of the body can reflect some kind of physical condition of you. For example, our face, mouth, tongue, teeth and eyes. Each part reflects the functional problems of various organs of the body.
Look at your mouth first: Is there any accumulated heat in your body?
When gastrointestinal function slows down, it is easy to have bad breath, dry mouth and yellow complexion. When the stomach is inflamed due to abnormal gastric function, acne and red tongue will appear at the corners of the mouth.
1, lip color is too red: to prevent "getting angry"
Red lips are proof of health, but if they are as deep red as lipstick, they are a sign of unhealthy. Red represents fever in Chinese medicine. There is too much heat in the body, so be careful to get angry.
2, pale lips: anemia is very likely.
Because the epidermis of lips is very thin, it can completely reflect the color of blood. If the lip color becomes lighter, it means that heme is insufficient. If the lips are too white, it means there is the possibility of anemia. If accompanied by symptoms of pale nails, it is likely to be anemia.
The doctor warned:
If you wake up in the morning and find a pool of saliva on your pillow, it may indicate that your stomach is weak. And usually accompanied by gastric bleeding, diarrhea, hypothermia and other related symptoms.
When you are troubled by bad breath, consider whether it is caused by excessive stomach fire, or whether you have rhinitis or gum disease. In addition, indigestion caused by overeating can also cause bad breath, usually accompanied by symptoms such as bloating and burping.
Second, look at the tongue: reflect the deficiency and excess of the five internal organs.
When you go to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, you will experience that you mainly observe the tongue picture and tongue coating when diagnosing diseases. Tongue quality can reflect the deficiency and excess of the five internal organs, and show the depth of invasion of exogenous pathogens into the human body.
1, red tongue: excessive accumulation of heat
If the whole tongue looks very red, it means that there is too much heat accumulated in the body and it is in a state of insufficient water, which is often accompanied by symptoms of head or whole body fever. Excessive energy excites the heart or overheating caused by lung infection can turn the tip of the tongue red.
2, pale tongue: weak body
Too white tongue coating means insufficient qi and blood, that is, there is a tendency to anemia, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness and palpitation when standing. In addition, when hypothermia, such as a cold, will also cause poor blood circulation and make the tongue white, we should pay attention to distinguish.
3, purple tongue: blood is too thick
When human blood contains a lot of old waste, the body is short of water, or suffers from hyperlipidemia, it will increase the blood viscosity, cause poor blood circulation, and lead to a purple reaction on the tongue. People with purple tongue coating usually have symptoms such as shoulder stiffness, low back pain and dysmenorrhea. If there are purple spots on the tongue, it means that blood vessels in some parts of the body are blocked, leading to poor blood circulation.
The doctor warned:
The tongue coating is thick, and the tongue surface can hardly be seen, which may be caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by overeating and other factors. In addition, when a major disease occurs, the tongue coating will also become thicker. The tongue coating is so thin that it is almost invisible, which also indicates weakness or allergies.
The smooth surface of the tongue, without tongue coating, is a precursor to peptic ulcer. Rough tongue indicates anemia caused by nutritional deficiency and iron malabsorption.
Third, look at the face: Is the blood smooth?
The color of the face is expressed by injecting qi and blood into the face through meridians, and the rise and fall of qi and blood and its operation will certainly be reflected from the complexion.
1, flushing: There may be something wrong with the heart.
It is not a good thing for people whose faces are often as red as babies. In particular, we need to pay attention to the health of the heart. For example, people with angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, or people with potential causes of these diseases, are mostly red in the face. When the body's blood circulation is not smooth, it will make the body's heat imbalance, causing the upper body to be hot and the lower body to be cold. At the same time, the legs are prone to excessive water accumulation, showing edema symptoms. If the heart can't work normally, it will cause uneven heat distribution in the body, which is easy to make facial flushing.
2, long spots on the face: be alert to gynecological diseases
Long spots on the face, in addition to pregnancy and oral contraceptives, more often reflect some female endocrine disorders, such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, adnexitis of uterus, infertility and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine calls adult female facial spots "liver spots", and thinks that people with liver depression and qi stagnation are prone to facial spots, that is to say, emotional abnormality is directly related to the formation and aggravation of facial spots. Therefore, emotional regulation is the key to prevent and treat facial pigmentation.
The doctor warned:
Yellow complexion is a sign of spleen deficiency. If it turns yellow suddenly, it is likely to be a sign of poor liver and gallbladder function. Patients with acute icteric hepatitis, gallstones, acute cholecystitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer often issue the above-mentioned "yellow alarm; Black face is the manifestation of kidney deficiency, so you should eat more foods that tonify the kidney, such as walnuts, black sesame seeds and medlar.
Fourth, look at the eyes: reflecting the liver has problems.
When there is something wrong with the liver, there are usually changes in the face and eyes, such as blue face, tired eyes, decreased vision, yellowing eyes and tears.
1, yellow eyes and white eyes: indicating that there is something wrong with the liver and gallbladder.
If there is too much bile secreted in the blood, there will be symptoms of yellow eyes. This is because bile itself is a yellow-green liquid, secreted by liver cells and stored in the gallbladder, which helps to decompose excess fat in the body. When the function of gallbladder or liver is not normal, it will cause bile blockage and retention, so that bile that should be sent to gallbladder by liver through bile duct leaks out and flows into blood, which will lead to yellow eyes. This is why the eyes and skin of hepatitis patients are yellow.
2, double eyelid whitening: be careful of anemia
If the blood vessels on the eye mucosa are too light and almost invisible, it may mean anemia. Women are more prone to anemia because of their special physiological period. So, you'd better keep your eyelids open in front of the mirror and have a good check. In addition, anemia can be judged by symptoms such as dizziness, palpitation, wheezing, dry and dull skin after a little exercise, hair loss and fragile nails.
3, eyelid edema: poor water metabolism
Even if you don't drink a lot of water before going to bed, some people always find their eyelids swollen when they get up in the morning. This situation is the result that the water regulation function in the body cannot work normally. There are many reasons for water metabolism disorder, such as decreased renal function or gastrointestinal function, heart disease and so on. Where is the problem? We need to judge the symptoms of the whole body. If the eyelids are swollen, it is easy to get tired, dry mouth and poor urination, which may be the decline of renal function.
The doctor warned:
Sometimes there are yellow and white pimples on the eyelids, which will not cause pain. This is because excess fat is accumulated in the body. This symptom is probably a signal of high cholesterol in the body.
If you have a sty on your eyelid, it will remind you that you are under too much pressure, lack of sleep, too much fat and protein, and too little vegetables and fruits, so you need symptomatic treatment.
Fifth, look at the teeth: reflect the kidney bone.
Chinese medicine has a saying that "the kidney produces marrow, the main bone, and the tooth is bone". The condition of teeth not only indicates the bone health of the whole body, but also has a close relationship with the kidneys. If the teeth or bones are poorly developed, the renal function is usually unsatisfactory.
1, gingival swelling: gastritis or fatigue
Chinese medicine regards the gums as a part of the stomach, so if the gums appear red and swollen, we must first doubt whether there is inflammation in the stomach. If the teeth become loose at the same time, accompanied by strong bad breath and other symptoms, it means periodontal disease. The cause of periodontal disease is not only insufficient calcium intake or unclean brushing, but also related to the decline of immunity caused by excessive fatigue.
2, bleeding gums: bad stomach.
The situation that gums are prone to bleeding will not only happen to patients with gingivitis or periodontal disease, but also to people with bad stomachs who brush their teeth. When the stomach is bad, the blood vessels become fragile due to insufficient digestion and absorption capacity, and the microvessels will rupture as long as they are slightly stimulated. Strong teeth need to be built on the basis of good gastrointestinal absorption function, so if you want to have a healthy and beautiful tooth, you must first start from strengthening your stomach.
The doctor warned:
No matter how much you cherish your teeth, you will still get cavities. Be careful at this time, which indicates general weakness. Especially menopausal women are prone to osteoporosis.
