Healthy lips should be ruddy, fresh and have a certain luster. In real life, many people's lips are either pale and bloodless or bright as fire, indicating that there is something wrong with your body, which may be in your stomach.
If the upper lip is dark, the appetite is not strong, eating is not fragrant, and abdominal distension, diarrhea or constipation are frequent, which is a reaction of indigestion of the spleen and stomach; If the lower lip is pale, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea and occasional abdominal pain, it is a manifestation of stomach deficiency and fear of cold; If the color of lips is too bright red, it is not full of qi and blood, insufficient stomach yin or stomach fire leading to an increase in internal heat, and the lips are naturally bright red like fire, accompanied by bad breath. In addition, dry lips are prone to peeling, cracking and swelling, which is also caused by excessive stomach fire.
In addition to observing the color of lips, we can also find stomach problems from the change of taste. Normal people's mouths don't produce strange smells. If it tastes bitter and sour, it may be a reflection of spleen and stomach dysfunction or other visceral diseases. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the common odors are as follows:
Pale mouth: mainly because I feel dull in my mouth, I have no taste when eating, and I often have no appetite, which is mostly caused by spleen and stomach qi deficiency or spleen and stomach cold syndrome.
Bitter mouth often feels bitter in the mouth, which is mainly caused by excessive fire in the liver and gallbladder and inflammation of pathogenic fire in the warm.
Sweet mouth: There is sweetness in the mouth, which is mostly caused by damp-heat of spleen and stomach or spleen deficiency. If there is still a sticky feeling in the mouth, it is likely that the spleen and stomach are damp and hot.
Sour mouth: refers to the sour taste in the mouth, which is probably caused by liver and stomach stagnation and disharmony between liver and stomach.
So, how to judge whether the stomach is healthy through the eyes? In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver began to understand the eyes, and the eyes need to rely on the supply of liver blood, while the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood, controlling blood, so liver blood is inherited from the spleen and stomach. So once something goes wrong with the spleen and stomach, it will lead to deficiency of qi and blood, and liver blood deficiency and eyes will naturally reflect it.
Under normal circumstances, visual fatigue, blurred vision, red eyes, drooping eyelids, etc. It may all be caused by spleen and stomach dysfunction. If accompanied by loss of appetite, loose stool, pale tongue and slow pulse, you can make a further diagnosis.
To sum up, whether the spleen and stomach are healthy can be judged from the color and taste of lips or the state of eyes. So in daily life, observe your facial state more. If you find anything unusual, you can see a doctor as soon as possible and seek the help of a doctor.
Finally, one more thing, what is stomach trouble in general? Three-point rule and seven-point support? No matter whether you have stomach trouble or not, you should pay more attention to your daily diet, eat three meals on time and chew slowly. It is very necessary to eat less cold and fried food, exercise properly and keep a happy mood, which is very necessary to protect the stomach.
