Watch your lips, know your health

If the eyes are the window to the soul, then the lips can be seen as the window to health. The color, luster and texture of the lips do not reflect the health of the human body. Normal healthy lips are generally rosy and lustrous, moderately dry and elastic. Once the body has a problem, the lips will appear to change. For example, the lips white main deficiency cold, lips yellow for damp heat, lips red main real heat, lips purple main blood stasis, lips black phlegm damp for suffering …… So get up early in the morning, you may want to look in the mirror, take a close look at their lips, see if the following conditions. 1, the color of the lips is light white, you need to supplement the blood and Qi people with light white lips, indicating that you are cold, the relative lack of Qi and blood in the body, coupled with the cold main stagnation, so that the blood can not fully nourish the lips. This is mainly caused by spleen deficiency or excessive blood loss. Huangdi Nei Jing Su Wen – Five Organs Generation Chapter: “The spleen is also the flesh, its glory lips.” If the spleen is weak and does not produce enough qi and blood, the lips will show the appearance of qi and blood deficiency. People with such lips also often feel weak, drowsy, dizzy, easily sick, and slow to recover from illness.

Symptoms such as not wanting to eat, nausea, bloating, bitter mouth, and acne are often experienced. Yellow lips, lack of energy, and sometimes dullness and sleepiness are among the most common problems of developing children, teenagers and young adults. And this problem is often “out of the supplement”! Because parents often ignore the problem of children and adolescents “liver is always surplus, spleen is always deficient”, and they just give them “nutrition”, so the excess nutrition and dampness in the fruit, easy to stay in the intestinal tract, over time, resulting in damage to the gastrointestinal function. The spleen and stomach are trapped by moisture and heat, and finally, the lips will present a yellow state.
