Chinese Face Mapping And Body Health

In the picture below you will see a Chinese face map. It shows the different parts of the face and their corresponding internal organ. The Chinese believe that you can tell a lot about the health of your body simply by looking at your face.

A similar reading can also be done with the ear, as shown in the picture below of a Chinese ear chart which also depicts the ear reflexology points.

Interpretation Of The Chinese Face Map

The different charts which you have just seen can be used for different things. You can for example, learn about the type of personality that a person has by looking at their facial characteristics. You can do acupuncture on the ear or reflexology on the hands or feet to try to improve the flow of energy, or Chi as the Chinese call it, so that the body can heal itself of an ailment.

Speaking specifically about the face, colors that appear on the skin can be read and interpreted. Shades of blue, yellow and green for example, can tell you a lot about what is going on in the body and may be indicators of mineral deficiencies that a person is suffering from.

For instance, a shade of dark blue that appears underneath the eyes, where people tend to get eye bags, relates to overwork and imbalance in the kidneys and adrenals. This could be caused simply by not drinking enough water or feeling very stressed. A yellowish coloration to the skin may indicate a weak digestive system and poor blood circulation in the body, possibly as a result of eating an unhealthy diet, not exercising and smoking.

A lined, puffy or red forehead could mean that you are eating too much rich, oily food such as meat, takeaways, fried food, cream and butter which affect the gallbladder.

A puffy face is what the Chinese say results from “damp”. It is caused by allergic reactions to food, which then affect the stomach and spleen and lead to the body being unable to digest food efficiently. There has been a growing number of food allergies in the past decade, especially in countries where genetically modified (GM) foods are eaten such as the United States of America.

Interestingly, the Chinese also believe that fine lines and wrinkles on the face are not necessarily a sign or consequence of aging, as they may be caused by an underlying problem in the body such as a vitamin or mineral deficiency. In younger adults, spots, pimples or zits that seem to always appear in the same region of the face, such as on the chin, may indicate an underlying problem relating to the colon or kidneys.

From Face To Organ

 

If you are experiencing problems with a particular region of your face, have a look below to see what facial region corresponds to what internal organ. You can then read the description of that internal organ to find out what may be causing your problem.

However, it is important to note that problems on the skin may also be caused by external factors rather than just solely being due to an issue with one of your organs. Touching your face with dirty hands for example, can transfer bacteria to the face and cause breakouts of spots and pimples.

Some people are allergic to the ingredients in their skin care products, which can result in inflammation or reddening of the skin. So it is important to rule out all potential possibilities before making a firm decision about what the cause of your problem may be.

To care for your skin properly you must know what type you have, find out here.

Kidneys

The kidney can be found underneath the eyes, along the eyebrows, on the ears and on the chin in the Chinese face map. Problems relating to the kidneys usually appear as a blue coloration to the skin and/or skin that appears puffy.

Such symptoms may be caused by too much stress, not get enough sleep, drinking too much caffeine or eating too many refined or processed foods. A red coloration to your ears indicates overactive adrenal glands, possibly as a result of overworking yourself or being stressed too often.

Liver

On the Chinese face map the liver can be found underneath your eyes, along your eyebrows, in the centre of your forehead along your T-zone and just above each side of your upper lip.

Problems relating to the liver typically show up as a dark brown coloration to the skin, or breakouts of spots and pimples. Such symptoms may indicate that your liver is becoming overly stressed, possibly as a result of built up anger or frustration that you are keeping inside of you. It may also be caused by the consumption of too many fatty foods, alcoholic beverages or dairy products such as milk and cheese which you are intolerant too.

Stomach, Intestines & Colon

The stomach and colon can be found underneath the lower eyelid, in the center of the forehead, along the sides of the face extending up from the jaw line and down the sides of the mouth on the outer part of the chin. The stomach is also found on the upper lip and the intestines along the lower lip.

Problems relating to these organs of the body can show up as a variety of different colors and effects on the skin. For example, white spots, blotchy patches or a red chin can indicate that you are consuming too much sugar in your diet which is causing an overgrowth of yeast in your colon.

Yeast infections, such as candida, can occur as a result of eating both artificial sugar and natural sugar such as that found in fruit. These symptoms may also be caused by eating too many mucus forming foods such as dairy products.

A yellowish color around the mouth may indicate that you are having trouble digesting your food, possibly because the foods that you are eating contain very few live enzymes to help you digest that food.

On the other hand, a greenish color around the mouth may indicate that your liver is struggling with the foods that you are eating, possibly because you are eating very fatty foods that contain unhealthy fats which the body finds difficult to process.

Cracked or sore looking red lips may indicate excess stomach acidity as a result of drinking acidic beverages like Coca-Cola.

Lungs

The lungs can be found to the sides of the nostrils above the lips and extending out onto the cheeks in the Chinese face map.

Problems relating to the lungs appear as a red coloration to the skin, puffiness and breakouts of spots or pimples around the nostrils and cheek area. This may be caused by smoking, consuming too many mucus forming dairy products, living in a polluted environment or a respiratory infection which is causing congestion of the lungs.

Gall Bladder

On the Chinese face map the gall bladder can be found in the corners of the forehead and just above the middle of your eyebrows.

Problems relating to the gallbladder can show up as spots on the skin, or a discoloration of the skin. This is usually caused by eating too many fatty meals that contain bad fats along with too much alcohol. If you have problems with your gall bladder, you will probably also have problems with your liver.

Heart

The heart can be found along the bridge of the nose and extending out from the nose running parallel underneath the eyes.

Problems relating to the heart or circulatory system can show up as persistent redness of the skin, such as rosacea, on the upper bridge of the nose. This may be caused by a lack of exercise, smoking, eating an unhealthy diet, allergies to skin care products or eating foods which are causing an allergic response within the body.
