Health is written on your face! Be careful when these changes happen.
There is a popular saying on the Internet, "If you want to know whether a person is doing well, the answers are all written on your face, which is clear at a glance".

In fact, this sentence has some truth. A person's physical health can be reflected from his face, which is called "face-to-face diagnosis" in Chinese medicine.

Some subtle changes in the face are actually signs of illness, and many of us can't find them when we look in the mirror. Since you have to look in the mirror every day, you might as well learn how to look at your face from an expert.

In order to observe the changes of facial organs and judge diseases, it is essential to look at the tongue. Tongue is directly or indirectly connected with five internal organs through meridians. Traditional Chinese medicine can usually see the health status of a person's five internal organs from the tongue picture.

1, tongue coating like bean curd residue-gastrointestinal dysfunction

Professor Wang Hongmo pointed out that if the tongue coating is easily scraped off like bean curd residue, it may be gastrointestinal dysfunction or overeating. Yellowing of tongue coating is probably a signal of cold virus invasion.

If the tongue coating is dull and black, it may be because the body temperature rises, not necessarily a fever. Violent exercise and burning in anger can make the tongue coating black.

2, red tongue-suggesting superficial gastritis.

Jia Liqun, director of the Department of Oncology of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said in May 20 19 that a healthy person's tongue is red, which may indicate superficial gastritis.

According to Jia Liqun, the middle part of the tongue is the reflex zone of esophagus and stomach. If there is a crack in this area, it may indicate a high risk of gastric cancer. It is recommended to do gastroscopy. The crack tongue may be a crack or zigzag crack, or it may be an inconspicuous small cross crack. But the number and depth of cracks can reflect the severity of the disease.

A patient once showed Director Jia a picture of his tongue. Director Jia judged that the patient had superficial gastritis, at least precancerous lesions, such as reflux, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and even early gastric cancer. Results the doctor sent the examination report: the patient was indeed early gastric cancer complicated with superficial gastritis.

Ear: Ear lobe folds, beware of coronary heart disease.

Pay more attention to the earlobe when looking in the mirror. If the original smooth earlobe suddenly appears diagonal lines or wrinkles, deep or shallow, be careful. It is best to go to the hospital to check the heart and blood vessels in time.

There are folds in the earlobe-coronary heart disease

Xie Qiang, chief physician of Cardiology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, explained in an interview with Health Times in June 20 16 that this kind of earlobe fold is also called coronary heart groove and cerebral arteriosclerosis ear fold sign. Coronary sulcus has a good correlation with heart disease and vascular diseases, because the earlobe is an important part of the body and is very sensitive to ischemia. The decrease of blood flow caused by arteriosclerosis will rupture the blood vessels in the earlobe and cause lateral wrinkles.

Therefore, earlobe folds can identify high-risk patients with atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in clinic. People with earlobe folds are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases, so prevention and intervention should be carried out as soon as possible.

You can also tell if you are sick by looking at your eyes. The color of the whites of the eyes changes greatly. Normal white eyes, adults are white, children are bluish white, white and clear, lively and glorious. The surface layer is shiny and transparent, with only a small amount of blood collaterals distributed, and the inner layer is white and tough. If the white of the eyes is abnormal, it means that there is a disease in the internal organs.

1, pale conjunctiva-heart disease

Professor Wang Hongmo emphasized in his book "Wang Hongmo's Self-diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases" that pallor conjunctiva indicates heart disease and circulatory system diseases, and severe pallor eyeball indicates lung diseases. If the whole white eye turns yellow, jaundice should be considered first. Jaundice is accompanied by yellow urine and yellow skin, which is caused by dampness trapping the spleen, stomach, liver and gallbladder.

In addition, if the whites of the eyes are bloodshot and red, it is usually a bacterial or viral infection. If you have symptoms such as secretion, itching, foreign body sensation, eye pain, etc., you should go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Bleeding spots on eyelid conjunctiva are mostly caused by diseases of blood circulation system, such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and patients with infective endocarditis will also show this feature.

2. There are yellow plaques around the eyes-hyperlipidemia.

In addition, if there are yellow or orange plaques around the eyes, slightly higher than the skin, it may be a signal of hyperlipidemia, and long-term hyperlipidemia may lead to coronary heart disease.

Nose: Changes indicate spleen and stomach diseases.

The meridians of the spleen and stomach are connected with the nasal orifices. Wang Hongmo emphasized that some changes of nose and alar may be related to the changes of spleen and stomach when he was a guest of "I am big doctor" on Beijing Satellite TV in March 20 19.

1, red nose-gastritis

Professor Wang Hongmo pointed out that if both sides of the nose are red, it may indicate gastritis. Among them, bright red is generally a sign of acute gastritis, while dark red often indicates chronic gastritis. Patients with gastritis usually have stomachache symptoms when eating or after meals. If they have pain before meals, it is often a sign of duodenal inflammation or ulcer.

2, the nose is purple, crab claw pattern-gastric ulcer

If there are deep purple or crab claw lines (thin red lines) on the nose wing, it may be a manifestation of gastric ulcer. According to clinical research, most people with crab paw prints on both sides of the nose are positive for Helicobacter pylori. Western medicine also has related research showing that people infected with Helicobacter pylori will have telangiectasia, which corresponds to this.

3, the nose is white-spleen deficiency

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs the transport and transformation, transports the subtle and upward Shui Gu, and transforms the painstaking efforts and lung qi, which is called the source of qi and blood biochemistry and the foundation of the day after tomorrow; Spleen also governs blood, which can control the normal operation of blood and occupies a very important position.

Professor Wang Hongmo introduced that on the face, the nose reflects the health of the spleen, and the nose of a healthy person should be bright, moist and delicate light yellow. If there is something wrong with the spleen, the color of the nose will also change.

If the nose is pale white, it means that the spleen function is not perfect and the spleen is weak. In addition, the color of nose should be compared with the color of face, neck and back of hand. If the color of the nose is lighter and whiter than these parts, it may also indicate weak spleen. People with spleen deficiency will have symptoms such as not wanting to eat, abdominal distension, loose stool and bloody stool.

4, gray nose hair-spleen damp heat

If the nose and hair are gray, it means that the spleen is damp and hot. Spleen governs the transportation and transformation of Shui Gu, and the absorption and excretion of diet need the participation of spleen. If the physiological function of the spleen declines, water and dampness will invade the spleen and stomach, resulting in spleen damp-heat syndrome, white and greasy weight and tongue coating, which can cause edema of eyelids and lower limbs in severe cases.

Lips: Beware of dark spots.

Intestine is one of the important parts of digestive system, and some changes of lips can help to judge whether the intestine is healthy or not.

Black patches on the lips-intestinal polyps, intestinal cancer

Professor Wang Hongmo said that a considerable number of patients with small intestinal polyps will have black patches on their lips, which may be purple-black or pure black. The incidence of small intestinal polyps is relatively high, and it may even progress to intestinal cancer.

What needs to be reminded is that these diagnostic methods only play a role in reminding everyone to observe themselves more in daily life. Once the changes mentioned in the article appear, it is suggested to seek medical advice in time, investigate the risk of disease and take medicine according to the doctor's advice.
