How to use Chinese medicine to analyze female diseases

Whether a woman has gynecological diseases can usually be determined in just a few seconds by looking at the philtrum point and the surrounding areas on both sides. Why?

Because the philtrum is located in the middle of the nose and lips, it is the place where the innate essence and life gate are located. Clinical observation shows that this place can indeed show the rise and fall of the essence of kidney qi and reflect the survival of the life fire.

The philtrum of young people is bright, lustrous and without any other colors, while that of the elderly or patients with kidney deficiency is dull and lifeless, with weak kidney qi, especially those with weak fire in the life gate, which may cause black and withered skin. If the life gate is exhausted, the philtrum will turn black first. The reproductive system and bladder are located on both sides of the philtrum.

Clinically, infertile women with kidney deficiency have dull and withered color or pigmentation here, while pregnant women appear particularly radiant and moist, indicating that Qi and blood are vigorous, and mother and child are healthy.

Therefore, the color changes at this location can be used as a reference for early pregnancy diagnosis. If a pregnant woman shows yellowish color here and the fetus bleeds, it means the fetus is dead in the womb. Therefore, observing this area is very meaningful for gynecology. The same applies to men's medicine.

Usually, if there are two or three horizontal lines on the philtrum, it is mostly due to cervical ulcer or vaginal ulcer. If there is a vertical line in the center of the philtrum and the groove is shallow or there is no groove and it bulges outward, it is suspected to be uterine fibroids. If the philtrum is not narrow at the top and wide at the bottom like a sword, but is equal in width at the top and bottom, or wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, or is in the shape of an arc, it is mostly a manifestation of endometriosis. The philtrum groove is oblique, indicating left or right adnexal inflammation.

In short, if the normal physiological position of the philtrum becomes narrower or wider, the groove edges become blurred, it becomes skewed to the left and right, and there are vertical and horizontal lines, or it becomes uneven, it means that women have gynecological diseases, and men have lower abdomen, testicles, penis, etc.

And other reproductive system diseases. (Feng Shui www.azg168.cn)

Analysis of life expectancy based on Chinese physiognomy

Eyebrow

Eyebrows are called the palace of longevity, which shows that they are related to human life. The Complete Book of Divination says that long and drooping eyebrows indicate a long life. This means that people with high and long eyebrows with drooping ends will undoubtedly live a long life.

skull

The occipital bone is located in the lower center of the back of the head. It is called the occipital bone because it is the first thing that touches the pillow when you sleep. This bone should be connected to the flesh and should not be too isolated and exposed. People with a full occipital bone behind the head live longer.

ear

The ears are closely related to the kidneys, and the strength of the kidneys directly affects the length of life. The ears should have clear outlines, with earlobes close to the skin, bright and rosy in color, wide ear openings, red and thick ear flesh, and tall and long ears. Such people will live long lives.

Eye

Traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on observing the presence or absence of spirit, primarily referring to observing the brilliance in the eyes. It is said in Taiyi Zhao Shenjing that those with divine light in their eyes will live long. This is what we mean when we say eyes are bright and sharp.

nose

Physiognomy believes that the nose should be plump and straight, with a straight nose bridge and no collapsed nose bone. It is said in Taiyi Zhao Shenjing that those with a raised anus will live longer. Longevity refers to the middle part of the nose. People with a raised middle part of the nose bridge can live a long life.

Philtrum

The philtrum is like a ditch. Only when the body fluids deep inside can flow smoothly will it be beneficial to the body. The Complete Book of Divine Physiognomy says that people with a deep and long philtrum will live a long life. People whose this part is deep, straight and regular can be healthy and live long.

teeth

The health of teeth can directly reflect the strength of kidney qi and the fulness of bone qi. "Tai Yi Zhao Shen Jing" says that people with neat and strong teeth will live long. People whose teeth are neatly arranged and firm and immovable can live a long life.

forehead

People with a broad and moist forehead tend to live a long life. On the contrary, people with a narrow and dark forehead tend to encounter dangers and have many adverse accidents in their lives.

Full forehead, round chin

People usually say that a lucky face has a full forehead and a square chin, which means the forehead should be full, the brow arches should not be too protruding, the middle and lower parts of the face should be fully developed, and the chin should be slightly tilted forward. This is a sign of good development and a longevity gene.

Secondly, everyone likes beauties with small faces, which is also related to health. From the perspective of embryonic development, facial organs grow from both sides first and then move to the middle. For example, people with congenital idiocy have poor development and their eyes are wider apart. Therefore, a good appearance should have a relatively small face and relatively compact facial features.

The face should be relatively long, especially the middle and lower parts. Development is mainly reflected in the middle and lower parts of the face. If the eyes are still in the middle of the face after adulthood, it means that the development is not good.
