Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches you how to see your health from your lips

People's lips are actually an important indicator of their health. Different lip colors can reveal a person's health condition. Now, the editor will take you to learn how to tell a person’s health problems from their lips.

1. Lips are pale white

Tip: Both the Qi and blood in your body are in a relatively scarce state, because they are not full enough to make your lips show the light red color they should have.

Common discomforts: fatigue, drowsiness, back pain, low libido, etc.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Increase the intake of high-nutrition substances, stop being picky about food, and stop thinking about losing weight. Life is more important than being slim. Recommended foods: fish, chicken, beef, lamb, eggs, etc.

2. Chew peanuts with red inner skin appropriately every day, with no limit on the amount. Dried dates, at least fifteen a day.

3. Don’t stay up too late, as that will exacerbate the destructive consumption of your already insufficient energy.

2. Lips are dark blue (purple)

Editor's tip: There is still obvious blood stasis and qi stagnation in your body. Blood flowing at a normal speed will not cause lips to appear in this color.

Common discomforts: chest tightness, sighing, occasional stabbing pain in the chest, nightmares, etc.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. If you rarely exercise, then jogging for 30 minutes every day will completely change your lip color.

2. It is strongly recommended to drink 1-2 tablespoons of Shanxi aged vinegar every day, which will definitely change your dark blue lips after a period of time. In addition to other functions, aged vinegar itself also has a mild effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and improving mood.

3. If you smoke, it is best to reduce the amount of smoking. It’s better to have less nicotine in the body.

3. Bilateral or unilateral mouth cracking

I don't know if you have ever had this experience: the corners of your mouth where your upper and lower lips meet often crack for no reason. If you are in that situation, you can't listen to Guo Degang's crosstalk or watch Zhao Benshan's skits. If a colleague reads a funny text message on his mobile phone, it will probably cause the wounds on your mouth corners that have just healed to crack again, causing you excruciating pain...

Tip: No matter you are talking or eating, the corners of your mouth remain relatively stationary during the up and down movement of your lips. Their role is very similar to that of a door hinge. Therefore, once the spleen and stomach are in a state of yin deficiency in the body, the parts that are most likely to "lack oil" are the corners of your mouth. Therefore, in this case, they tend to crack easily.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Go to the street and buy ripe kiwis, eat three at a time, three times a day. After three days, you will believe why it has magical powers.

2. It is recommended to watch less crosstalk, sketches, and comedy shows to avoid reopening the wound. Repeatedly opening the wound is not conducive to final recovery.

3. It is recommended to temporarily eat more fatty foods.

4. Lips are red, dark red or purple

Tip: Your body is still in a state of high heat. 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: toothache, headache, dizziness, constipation, yellow urine, etc.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. 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.

2. Try not to take supplements containing ginseng, jujube and other substances. After all, adding fuel to the fire is very dangerous.

3. When so much discomfort occurs, medicine is needed to help. Take 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.

5. The skin around the lips turns black

Tip: There is still obvious dampness in your body, which also means that your kidneys, spleen and stomach are beginning to show signs of deficiency.

Common discomforts: decreased appetite, poor digestion, heaviness in the lower limbs, and frequent urination.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Try to avoid all kinds of sweets, fried, greasy, sticky foods, raw and cold foods, etc., because they can produce more moisture in your body.

2. Do not rush to lie down or sleep after a meal, as this will directly lead to the production of moisture in the body due to the slow transportation of food.

3. Your kidney, spleen and stomach meridians all originate in your feet. Your feet are as important as the roots of a plant. Try soaking your feet in hot water every day. This will replenish heat energy directly from your "roots" to the related organs.
