The complexion reflects the health of the five internal organs. Experts teach you how to read the complexion

A person's good complexion indicates that the person is healthy. A good complexion will also indicate that the facial skin is in the best condition. Otherwise, the facial skin will appear dull and listless. It is more important for women to take care of their skin. If the complexion is good, the skin will be naturally bright. So how can women adjust their complexion to make themselves younger and more energetic?

First, let’s look at a person’s complexion, which can reflect the health of the five internal organs of the body.

The liver belongs to the element of wood in the five elements. Excessive liver qi will suppress the spleen and stomach, causing a chain reaction. In addition, bad mood, too much stress, and irregular menstruation can cause liver depression and qi stagnation, resulting in a dark yellow complexion. People with liver qi stagnation are generally introverted and prone to sulking. They often experience chest tightness, poor appetite, and sometimes a bloated lower abdomen, especially before menstruation, and are prone to hiccups. Liver qi stagnation is very common among middle-aged women. There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that one should treat the kidneys in early years, regulate the liver in middle age, and strengthen the spleen in old age.

In addition to bad complexion, some people also have chloasma or ecchymosis on their faces. Ecchymosis is called liver spots in traditional Chinese medicine, which is caused by stagnation of liver qi. The appearance of ecchymosis is also related to kidney health. This is because Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the heaven of the five internal organs and the innate foundation, so the manifestations of many diseases are closely related to the kidney. What Chinese medicine considers kidney deficiency is called endocrine disorders in Western medicine. Endocrine disorders can cause poor complexion, chloasma, butterfly spots, etc., especially in people who are approaching menopause but not menopause.

A yellow complexion and poor complexion indicate liver qi stagnation. If it is severe to a certain degree, symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, dizziness, poor sleep, and neurasthenia may occur. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "when Qi flows, blood flows; when Qi stagnates, blood stagnates." Long-term liver Qi stagnation can easily lead to Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Most women with bad complexions have blood stasis. Many women have uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and even breast hyperplasia and thyroid diseases. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the source of these diseases is Qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes differentiation of symptoms, and the conditioning of complexion should also be analyzed according to specific circumstances. There are different health care and conditioning plans for the abnormal complexion caused by spleen deficiency, liver depression, kidney deficiency, and blood stasis mentioned above.

Drink some yam and lotus seed porridge for spleen deficiency

In addition to a balanced and nutritious diet, some medicated foods can also be chosen. I often recommend yam and lotus seed porridge, and add red dates and longan to it for people with blood deficiency. Donkey-hide gelatin is a famous medicinal ingredient for replenishing blood, but using it in large quantities can have a negative impact on the spleen and stomach functions and affect appetite. In fact, most people can just use ordinary medicated food. People with severe anemia can use some donkey-hide gelatin. Steam the dates and donkey-hide gelatin together. Once the donkey-hide gelatin is heated, it will melt together with the red dates and taste better.

Try Wuhua Tea for Liver Stagnation

People who are in a bad mood or under a lot of pressure can try "Five Flower Tea". Rose, rose, and green plum blossom are all good choices. If you don’t have diabetes, you can add some rock sugar. Rose can relieve liver and depression. In addition to relieving liver and depression, rose also has the effect of activating blood circulation and harmonizing qi and blood. You can drink rose, Chinese rose and green plum blossom alternately, or you can drink one or two at the same time, or you can add some roasted malt. If you have poor sleep caused by liver depression, you can make a drink by soaking some julibrissin flowers in water. In addition, these people should actively participate in nature, climb mountains, make more friends, sing, dance, and adjust their personality and mood. You can choose Xiaoyao Pills or Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills as Chinese patent medicine. Xiaoyao Pills have the effects of soothing the liver, regulating the spleen and strengthening the spleen. Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills also have the effect of clearing liver fire. They can be taken by people with liver depression and internal heat.

Kidney deficiency causes eating more black food

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black enters the kidneys, so black sesame, black beans, and black rice are all good for nourishing the kidneys, especially black sesame, which is very effective in nourishing the kidneys and hair. In addition, walnut kernels are also a good choice. Liuwei Dihuang Pills can be chosen as Chinese patent medicine. If you have tinnitus, there is a ready-made medicine called Erlong Zuoci Pills, which is also a prescription made up of Liuwei Dihuang Pills with a few extra medicines. People who have tinnitus and a bad complexion, especially those with a dark complexion that is uglier than a "yellow-faced woman", can try this. In addition to kidney deficiency, back pain, and weak legs, people with poor sleep can also benefit from taking Erlong Zuoci Pills. If stomach coldness and limb coldness are obvious, you can use Yougui Pills and Shenqi Pills, but be careful not to get too hot.

If you have a bad complexion and are fat, eat coix seed

This situation is caused by spleen deficiency and dampness, which leads to puffiness, and the face is yellow and there may be spots under the eyelids. These people can eat more coix seed, which has the effects of strengthening the spleen, removing dampness and clearing away heat. In addition, you can also eat more foods such as yam, lotus seeds, winter melon, and radish.
