Health from the five facial features: mouth

Health from the five facial features: mouth

In physiognomy, the mouth controls a person's food, fortune and longevity. It also reflects the health of the person's body. By observing the shape and color of the philtrum, lips, teeth and tongue, one can understand the conditions of various parts of the human body such as the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and reproductive system.

1. Lips

The Suwen chapter on the formation of the five internal organs describes lips like this: "The spleen is the organ that controls flesh, and its glory is the lips." This means that lips are the external glory of the spleen. The changes in the lips often indicate the health of the digestive system. From color to shape, it can be an indicator of the health of the spleen and stomach. Experts point out that rosy, plump lips with moderate dryness and wetness indicate a strong spleen and stomach. On the contrary, when the stomach is damaged, the lips will become visibly dry and numb. In addition, by observing the color of the lips, you can roughly understand whether there is anything wrong with the functioning of a person's internal organs.

1. The lips are dark red. When there is too much energy in the body, "fire" will be generated due to the excess energy. When the fire in the body is stronger, the lips will be red. The darker the color becomes, the stronger the fire in the body.

2. Pale white lips indicate that the body lacks Qi and blood, the body is relatively weak, the resistance is poor, and it is easy to catch colds and get sick.

3. Blue-black (purple) lips indicate obvious blood stasis and qi stagnation in the body.

4. The appearance of a black circle around the lips indicates the presence of obvious moisture in the body. It also means that the kidneys, spleen and stomach are beginning to become deficient.

5. Fissures on both sides or one side of the lips are a sign of spleen and stomach yin deficiency.

6. Purple lips, which is called "cyanosis" in modern medicine, accompanied by dark red or light blue face, chest tightness and tingling, palpitations and shortness of breath, are manifestations of hypoxia or drug poisoning. You should go to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately. In addition, lips may turn blue when a heart attack or stroke occurs.

7. If the lips are dry and black, accompanied by stiff shoulders, bad breath, and blocked ears and nose, it is likely that there is a lesion in the large intestine. If there are black deposits, it may be a sign of chronic adrenal cortex insufficiency, polyps in the digestive tract, and syphilis.

8. If the upper lip is pale and bluish, it means that the large intestine is cold, and there will be chills and alternating hot and cold symptoms. If the lower lip is pale, it means that the stomach is cold, accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. In addition, women with anemia or reproductive organ diseases will also have pale lips.

9. Chapped lips in winter indicate that the body is dehydrated. You need to eat more fruits, vegetables and foods rich in vitamin B. In addition, people with chronic gastritis and pneumonia may also have chapped lips, and small particles may grow around the lips.

10. If you have ulcers at the right corner of your mouth, you should stop drinking and eat a light diet. If you have ulcers at the left corner of your mouth with particles, it is a sign of excessive sugar intake. You should stop eating snacks and eat less sweets.

11. People with thin upper lips are born with weak hearts. People with thin lower lips have congenitally weak stomachs. If the lips are short, it means the spleen is not healthy. Thickening of the lips is probably due to insufficient thyroid hormone secretion.

2. Philtrum

The philtrum corresponds to the spleen among the five internal organs. Any disease of the spleen will manifest on the philtrum. If a person's spleen and kidneys are weak, the muscles of the philtrum will become loose and weak. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the philtrum will turn yellow.

The most taboo thing about the philtrum is a short and flat one. One is that the distance between the nose and mouth is so short that it cannot be seen, and the other is that the philtrum is so flat that it has no edges. Both of these are signs of short life. There is no absolute value for the length of the philtrum. Some people have a short philtrum but it is deep and angular, and you can see the philtrum very clearly from the front. Such a philtrum is also good. Some people have a long and wide philtrum, but as long as it is not too flat and has flesh, they can live to a considerable age. When the following conditions occur in the philtrum, it usually indicates that there is a disease in a certain part of the human body. If you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital for a check-up to ensure early prevention and early treatment.

1. People with flat philtrum have poor reproductive system and often have stiff shoulders and neck.

2. The philtrum is pale and the right upper lip is dark red, which is a manifestation of damp heat in the stomach and coldness in the large intestine, and the patient often suffers from symptoms such as low back pain.

3. The philtrum is pale and the lips are also slightly pale, indicating cold stagnation in the large and small intestines and abdominal cavity, which may cause discomfort in the waist, shoulders, back, etc.

4. If the left and right areas of the philtrum are stiff and the tip of the nose is crooked, it may indicate that there is a disease in the thigh. If the nose tilts to the left, there is something wrong with the left leg. If the nose tilts to the right, there is something wrong with the right leg.

5. Hardness on the left and right sides of the philtrum is a sign of weak abdominal circulatory system function. If the left area of ​​the philtrum is hard and dark in color, the left abdomen is prone to malignant diseases; hardness on the right area of ​​the philtrum indicates weak right abdominal circulatory function.

6. If a woman’s philtrum is slightly blue, it is mostly due to cold dysmenorrhea; if the philtrum near the lips is flushed, it is mostly due to blood heat and metrorrhagia; if the philtrum near the tip of the nose is pale and white, it is mostly due to qi deficiency and metrorrhagia.
