What causes red lips?

If your lips are red, it may be caused by a problem of getting too hot, and getting too hot can easily cause constipation, which will affect the circulation of qi and blood. Therefore, when you find these symptoms of getting too hot, you should pay attention to regulation and relieve the fire in time.

1. Dark red lips

Are you constipated? There are many reasons for constipation. Generally speaking, Qi and blood cannot flow normally in the body, resulting in poor blood circulation. Patients with constipation have dark lips because Qi and blood cannot flow smoothly and cannot nourish them.

Suggestion: Getting the Qi and blood flowing is the key. Exercise is the most natural therapy, and it should be combined with a vegetarian diet as a maintenance plan. At least try not to eat meat for dinner, avoid eating too greasy and fatty meat foods that put too much burden on the stomach and intestines, and allow for smooth excretion in the early morning.

2. Yellow lips

Experts say, "Yellow is the color that governs the spleen." The spleen is the organ that transports and transforms essence, water and moisture. If the spleen is weak, the water and moisture will retain in the body, blocking the transportation of nutrients and causing symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and indigestion. If dampness stays for a long time, it can easily cause internal heat and damp-heat internal obstruction. Not only will the face and lips turn yellow, but there will also be yellow urine, yellow eyes, aversion to greasy food, abdominal distension and flank pain. At this time, you should be alert to the occurrence of jaundice and go to the hospital for treatment.

Recommendation: Dress warmly and eat appropriate amounts of foods that strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, such as yam and coix seed porridge, ginseng chicken soup, red dates and wolfberry porridge, and Poria cake. The living environment should be warm and dry, and massage or moxibustion should be applied to the Zusanli, Guanyuan, Qihai and other acupoints.

3. Lips are red, dark red or purple

Your physical condition is still full of fire. The tongue is like an indicator light of energy in the body. When there is too much energy in your body, "fire" will be generated due to the excess energy. And the darker the color becomes, the greater the fire in the body. Common discomforts include toothache, headache, dizziness, constipation, yellow urine, etc.

Recommendation: Immediately reduce the intake of the following substances: spicy food, sugars, chicken, and mutton. They will only produce more energy, making the fire in your body more intense, causing its color to become darker red. Try not to take supplements containing ginseng, jujube and other substances. After all, adding fuel to the fire is very dangerous. When so many discomforts occur, you need medicine to help: 30g of Scrophularia ningpoensis, 30g of Rehmannia glutinosa, 30g of Ophiopogon japonicus, and 2g of Cinnamon bark, decocted in water and taken orally. This recipe is a famous ancient recipe called Zengye Decoction. It has obvious relieving and therapeutic effect on the above-mentioned discomforts. It can clear the "fire" in the human body while replenishing the yin fluid, so that we are no longer like dry firewood that will catch fire easily when exposed to fire.
