I don’t know if you have noticed an interesting phenomenon: men don’t look in the mirror very much, or just glance at it while brushing their teeth; while women usually look in the mirror more often and for a longer time than men, but generally from the perspective of “pretty” Start out, care about your “look” today, or focus on wrinkles, dark spots, dark circles, eye belly, etc. As a woman, I certainly understand that it is natural to love beauty, but besides checking for wrinkles, dark spots, and dark circles, there are many other information on the face that deserve our attention. “Take care of your own body.” Although there are many good Chinese and Western doctors/teachers in Hong Kong, the person who knows the state and changes of your body best should be yourself. So no matter men or women, I encourage everyone to look in the mirror more.
Chinese medicine diagnoses a person’s state, first and foremost is “look”. Let’s talk about the eyes today. Whether a person is on the right path and upright can be seen a little by looking at his eyes. In fact, the eyes and their surroundings also contain a lot of information about the body. Here are some physical conditions that are easier to see from the eyes:
Whites of the eyes: (a) the whites of the eyes are clear and clean, which is normal; (b) the whites of the eyes are yellow, which means jaundice, which shows that the gallbladder or liver function is abnormal, causing bile to block and leak into the blood, causing the whites of the eyes to turn yellow, which is a disease of the liver and gallbladder Warning signs; (c) small red dots/erythema in the whites of the eyes: telangiectasia, most commonly seen in diabetes; (d) green dots/greenish in the whites of the eyes: a sign of intestinal blockage; (e) blue in the whites of the eyes: chronic iron deficiency type of anemia, usually seen in children and pregnant women; (f) whites of the eyes are bloodshot; the liver is overworked, leading to congested and enlarged blood vessels.
Inner eyelid: Gently open the lower eyelid with your fingers, and you should see microfilament blood vessels distributed in the mucous membrane. If the color of the microfilament blood vessels is too light, or even barely visible, it means that the blood volume in the whole body cannot reach the normal level. anemia.
Protruding eyes and hyperthyroidism, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, are conditions where the liver meridian cannot be restrained. It usually reflects that the person concerned is nervous, has a big temper, is hot-tempered and aggressive.
Sunken eyes: This is more common in people over the age of 40. It is a sign of water loss in the body, and it also means that the body is depleting/losing energy.
Dark circles under the eyes: (a) internal causes: genetic or constitutional causes, the skin around the eyes is thin, and subcutaneous veins and blood vessels become obvious through light refraction, resulting in dark circles; (b) external causes: staying up late, lack of sleep, smoking, Mental stress, excessive fatigue, anemia, cold, excessive meat intake, long-term ultraviolet radiation lead to pigmentation, or excessive indulgence leads to kidney deficiency.
Eye bags/swollen eyelids: The problem of edema is that the kidneys cannot excrete excess water, and it can also be a problem of gastrointestinal disorders. Poor gastrointestinal function will cause water to stagnate in the stomach and intestines. These two are the causes of body water Common causes of buildup. Swollen upper eyelids are due to spleen dampness, while swollen lower eyelids are due to yang deficiency. Both are due to insufficient yang qi that cannot be converted into boiled water, resulting in insufficient water metabolism in the body.
Yellow and white pimples on the eyelids: If there are yellow and white pimples on or around the eyelids that are not painful or itchy, it means that the excess fat in the body cannot be metabolized, which is a warning sign of high cholesterol.
The eyes are the window to the soul as well as the window to the body. You may have heard that “the liver opens up to the eyes”, but in fact, the eyes not only reflect the state of the liver and gallbladder, they can also tell us how the heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys are doing. Next time you look in the mirror/people, take a look at what body information you can see from your eyes.
