Face-to-face consultation

1. Corresponding area of facial viscera

The face reflects the physiological information of all parts of the whole, making the face a microcosm of the whole. Each part of the face belongs to different viscera, which is the basis of face consultation. The traditional facial viscera are formed on the basis of the theory of "Inner Diameter" about the distribution of viscera, qi and blood, and meridians.

According to the classification method of "Lingtang. Five Colors", the entire face is divided into: the nose is called Mingtang, the eyebrows are called Quezhong, the forehead is called Tianting, the cheeks are called Fan, and the ear door is called the mask. (figure 1)

The corresponding positions of the face and the viscera are: Tianting is the first face, and below the first face (Upper Que) is the throat; under the throat (Quezhong, Yintang) is the lung; under the lung (Xiaxia, Shangen, lower pole) is the heart; The lower part of the heart (nasal column, longevity) is the liver and the left and right sides of the liver are gallbladder; the lower part of the liver (mingtang, zhantou) is the spleen; the two sides of the spleen (upper square) are the stomach; the outer side of the stomach (center, under the zygomatic) is the large intestine; the large intestine is held It is the kidney; the outer side of the Mingtang (nose end) is the small intestine, and below the Mingtang is the bladder and son.

2. Facial viscera and disease reaction

The heaven of the face is the reaction zone of the human head and facial organs. If this area appears diseased, it means that the head or face has lesions. The heaven is straight down and the area above the eyebrow area is called the upper part of the brow. , Is the throat reaction zone of the human body. If the disease appears in this area, it means that the organs and tissues of the throat area are diseased. This area between the two eyebrows is called both "the center of the eyebrow" and "the center of the eyebrow". It is the external manifestation of the lungs. If this area appears diseased, it means that the lungs are diseased. Straight down from the middle is the root of the nose, also called the mountain root, which was called the lower pole in ancient times. Here is the appearance of the heart. When the disease appears here, it reflects the internal disease of the heart.

The part straight down from the lower pole was called the nasal column by ancient doctors, and physiognomy was called longevity. The nasal column should be flat and straight, and should not be knotted, deviated or distorted. The nasal column is the liver to the internal organs. The liver and the gallbladder are the inner and outer organs of each other, so the left and right areas of the nasal column are the reaction of the gallbladder; the lower part of the nasal column is the nasal tip area. Ancient doctors called this area Mingtang or Mianwang. , Saturn, Zhongyue. Mingtang is located in the center of the entire face. Its five elements belong to the soil, and the corresponding internal organs are the spleen. The left and right sides of Mingtang are the wings of the nose. Ancient physicians called Fangshang, and Xiangjia called Lantai and Tingwei. The spleen and stomach are the outer and inner organs of each other. The spleen is inside and the stomach is outside, so they are the outside of the spleen and stomach. Reaction zone. The outer side of the nose is the large intestine, which was called the center by ancient doctors, and the inner side of the nasolabial fold by the xiangjia. The four internal organs of lung, heart, liver, and spleen are in the abdomen, all in the peritoneum, and their external reaction areas are all located in the nasal area on the midline of the face. Only the kidney, because it is anatomically located on both sides of the spine in the posterior peritoneum, the opposite area of its face is also far away from the midline, and is distributed on the horizontal line of the large intestine outside the nasolabial fold. This is "the person who holds the large intestine and the kidney". The kidney is opposite to the umbilicus. The corresponding area of the umbilicus on the face is below the cheek kidney area, above the horizontal line of the head, and below the biliary area, so it corresponds to the small intestine, that is, "the one above the face is also the small intestine." Below the midline of the quasi-head is the human middle area, which corresponds to the bladder and the reproductive organs of the offspring. That is, "Those who are below the eyebrow king, the bladder is at the beginning." The subsection refers to the internal and external genitalia of men and women. The xiangjia also pointed out that "the people who are ordinary and do not have beards, have many masters and no children, and the women who are deep followers, are good at childbirth."

3. Practical method of face-to-face consultation

To find out which organ is diseased, just look at the parts of the face and see if there are any abnormal changes. The general judgment is as follows.

(1) If there are wrinkles, spots and skin color changes on the face, it indicates that the corresponding organs in the part are out of balance.

(2) If there are small bumps, congestion, or swelling on the face, the corresponding organs on the surface are infected with bacteria and invade the blood.

(3) Black eye sockets indicate disease of the kidneys, ovaries, and bladder.

(4) Yellow scleral stains indicate liver disease.

Fourth, look at the face to know your health

Five, look at your face to measure your health

1. Floating and sinking

Floating refers to the complexion that appears between the skin and is easier to see. Floating color generally indicates that the disease that occurs in the human body is a sign, that is, the disease occurs on the surface of the human body. Shen refers to the complexion that is hidden under the skin and is not easy to see. The dark color generally indicates that the disease that occurs in the human body belongs to the internal syndrome, that is, the disease generally occurs in the human body. If the patient’s complexion turns from floating to sinking, it means that the manifestation syndrome has been transformed into the inner syndrome and the pathogen has invaded the human body; if the patient's complexion turns from sinking to floating, it indicates that the syndrome has been transformed into a manifestation of the syndrome and the pathogen has been revealed. The surface of the human body.

2. Clear turbidity

Clearness means that the skin color of the human face is clear and bright, and the pathological changes that occur in the human body generally belong to the Yang syndrome. Turbidity refers to the turbidity and dullness of the skin on the human face. Turbidity generally means that the disease that occurs in the human body is a yin syndrome. If the patient's complexion changes from clear and bright to cloudy and dark, it means that Yang syndrome has been transformed into Yin syndrome; if the complexion changes from cloudy and dark to clear and clear, it means that Yin syndrome has been transformed into Yang syndrome.

3. Very small

Micro-color refers to the lighter and lighter skin color of the human face. Micro-color generally indicates that the human body has a deficiency syndrome. Even, it means that the skin on the human face is darker and thicker, and a very dark color generally indicates that the human body has evidence. If the patient’s complexion changes from light to dark, from light to thick, it means that the deficiency syndrome has been transformed into positive evidence; if it changes from dark to light, from thick to light, it means that positive evidence has been transformed into deficiency syndrome.

4, loose tuan

Scattered means that the skin color of the human face is relatively scattered. Scattered color generally indicates that the patient has just contracted a new disease. The time of illness is relatively short, and the condition gradually relieved. Tuan means that the skin color of the human face is more concentrated. Tuan color generally indicates that the patient has been in a longer period of time and the condition is gradually getting worse. If the patient's complexion changes from being evacuated to gathering, it means that the evil qi in the body is gradually gathering, and the condition will continue for a period of time; if the complexion of the patient is changing from gathering to being evacuated, it means that the evil qi in the body is gradually dissipating and the condition will be relieved sometimes.

5. Ze Yao

Luster means that the skin color of the human face is more luster, and luster generally indicates that the condition is mild. Yao means that the skin color of the human face is relatively dull, and it generally indicates that the condition is more serious. If the patient's complexion changes from moist to haggard, it means that the body's essence is gradually weakened and the condition gradually worsens; if the complexion changes from haggard to moist, it means that the body's essence is gradually sufficient and the condition is gradually reduced.

Six, normal complexion

Chinese people's normal complexion is yellowish, slightly ruddy, and slightly shiny, which is called normal color in Chinese medicine. The normal complexion of a person can be divided into the main color and the objective color.

1. Main color

It refers to the inherent genetics and the influence of the acquired living environment, which makes the facial skin of a person show a basic color that is different from others and generally will not change for a lifetime. For example, the Five Elements Theory believes that different people can be classified into five types: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Wood-type people generally have a greener complexion, fire-type people generally have a reddish complexion, earthy-type people generally have a yellower complexion, gold-type people generally have a whiter complexion, and water-based people generally have a darker complexion.

2. Guest color

It refers to the color that changes in the external environment, living conditions, day and night time, climate and seasons, etc., which cause the color of the human facial skin to change accordingly. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that people have a close relationship with the external environment. Therefore, when the external environment changes, the complexion of the person changes accordingly. Generally speaking, during the day, the yang energy in the human body is strong, so the light is usually exposed; at night, the yin energy in the human body is strong, so the complexion is generally bright and restrained. When the weather is fine, the blood in the human body is hotter and runs smoothly, so the complexion is generally reddish or yellowish; when the weather is cold, the blood in the human body is cold, and the movement is not smooth or even stagnated, so the complexion is generally greenish and darker. . The Five Elements theory of Chinese medicine believes that the Spring Festival is wood, so people’s complexion is generally greenish; summer is fire, so people’s complexion is generally reddish; autumn is metal, so people’s complexion is generally white at this time; winter is water, so people His complexion is generally black at this time.

In addition, differences in living environment and work, changes in mood, different eating habits, and after exercise, etc., will make people look different. For example, people who work in the open field for a long time and are often exposed to the sun must have a dark complexion; people who work indoors for a long time and rarely see sunlight must have a white complexion; when people are angry, their complexion will generally be reddish; When you are frightened or frightened, your complexion is generally pale; after drinking too much alcohol, your complexion is generally reddish; after strenuous exercise, your complexion is generally reddish.

In general, whether it is the main color or the guest color, it is the normal skin color of the face. When making a diagnosis, you should pay more attention to it and do not confuse it with the abnormal complexion that occurs when the human body is affected.

Seven, abnormal complexion

1. Classification of abnormal complexion

According to different conditions, abnormal complexions can be divided into good colors and evil colors

(1) Good color: refers to the color that appears on the skin of the face due to milder Yang syndrome lesions on the patient's body. At this time, the skin of the patient's face is often more rosy and still shiny. It shows that the patient's body's essence and energy are still relatively sufficient, the viscera function has not suffered serious imbalance, and the condition is easy to be cured.

(2) Malignant discoloration: refers to the color that appears on the facial skin due to serious Yin syndrome lesions on the patient's body. At this time, the patient's skin is often haggard, dull and dull. This shows that the illness has been for a long time, the essence of the body has been weakened, and the viscera function is seriously dysfunctional, and the condition is not easy to be cured.

Good looks and evil looks will also transform each other; if the patient’s complexion changes from glorious to dull, it means that the condition has deteriorated and gradually worsened; if the complexion of the patient changes from dull, dull to glorious , It means that the condition is getting better and will be cured soon.

2. The relationship between abnormal complexion and lesions of the five internal organs

According to the Five Elements theory of Chinese medicine, there is a close relationship between the abnormal complexion of the human body and the lesions of the five internal organs. When the five internal organs have lesions, the human body often shows different colors on the face. Specifically, the liver of the human body belongs to the wood in the five elements. When the disease occurs, the patient’s complexion is often blue. When the disease occurs, the patient’s complexion is often red; the spleen and the five elements belong to the soil. When the disease occurs, the patient’s complexion is often yellow; the lungs are gold, when the disease occurs, the patient’s complexion is often white; the kidney is water, and when the disease occurs, the patient’s complexion is often black.

In addition, according to the theory of mutual growth and restraint between the five elements, we can also analyze the pros and cons of the development of the disease through changes in complexion. For example, if the face of a patient with liver disease turns black or red, it means that the liver disease is relatively mild; if the face turns yellow or white, it means that the liver disease is a serious adverse syndrome. If the complexion of a patient with a heart disease turns blue and yellow, it means that the disease is a positive syndrome, and if the complexion turns white or black, it means that the heart disease is an adverse syndrome. If the complexion of a patient with spleen disease turns red or white, it means that the spleen disease is positive; if the complexion turns black or blue, it means that the spleen disease is adverse; if the complexion of a lung disease patient turns black or yellow, It means that his lung disease is a normal syndrome. If his complexion turns red or blue, his lung disease is an adverse syndrome. If the complexion of a patient with nephropathy turns blue or white, it means that the nephropathy is a normal syndrome, and if the complexion turns red or yellow, it means that the nephropathy is an adverse syndrome.

Generally speaking, the syndrome is relatively mild and easier to cure, while the adverse syndrome is relatively serious and difficult to cure. But this is absolute. When making a diagnosis, the four-diagnosis method should be comprehensively used to carefully examine the patient's condition in order to draw a correct diagnosis conclusion.

Eight, look at the health of the hair

1. The normal color and condition of the hair

People of different races around the world often have different hair colors. For example, the hair of European Caucasians is golden, red, brown, brown, etc., while the hair of Asian yellow people is generally black.

The hair of healthy young and middle-aged people in China is generally black in color, shiny, black and shiny, and the hair is generally denser. These are manifestations of normal kidney function, strong kidney qi, and sufficient energy in the body. . The elderly generally have weak kidney qi and insufficient essence qi, so their hair tends to be whitish, sparse and easy to fall off. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, not a manifestation of pathological changes.

Generally speaking, a normal person has about 100,000 hairs, and the hair of a wild goose can grow 0.3-0.4 mm per day, and the life span of each hair varies from 3 to 10 years. Under normal circumstances, hair loss will also occur. When there is too much hair loss every day, a person's health is very likely to have problems.

2. Hair lesions

When a disease occurs in the human body, it often causes some symptoms of disease in the hair. Generally speaking, these diseases are mainly deficiency syndrome, blood heat syndrome, malnutrition, insufficient essence and blood, and deficiency of kidney essence.

(1) Deficiency syndrome: mainly includes kidney deficiency syndrome, heart deficiency syndrome, and blood deficiency syndrome.

(a) Hair lesions caused by kidney deficiency syndrome. Young and middle-aged patients with kidney deficiency, due to the deficiency of kidney qi and lack of essence, their hair is often sparse and easy to fall off, and some will have gray hair. At the same time, they are often accompanied by dizziness, vertigo, waist and knees, and memory loss. And other symptoms.

(b) Hair lesions caused by heart deficiency syndrome. Adolescent patients with heart-deficiency syndrome caused by excessive exertion and blood loss often have white hair and symptoms such as palpitation, insomnia, and memory loss.

(c) Hair disease caused by blood deficiency and wind. If the patient suffers from blood deficiency and the body is attacked by wind pathogens, the hair will appear alopecia areata, that is, the hair will fall off in pieces, leaving the head showing a round or oval shiny scalp. The symptoms are more serious. The patient's hair will fall off even the eyebrows, beard, armpit hair, pubic hair and other parts of the body. What's more, all the hair will fall off and become bald.

(2) Hair lesions caused by blood-heat syndrome. Patients with blood-heat syndrome, because the blood in the body is too hot, often causes itchy scalp, increased dandruff, thinning and easy hair loss, and the symptoms of body fatness.

(3) Hair lesions caused by malnutrition. Malnutrition is a disease that causes indigestion, yellowish facial muscles, and enlarged abdomen due to improper diet or parasites in the abdomen of children, which weaken the spleen and stomach. Children with malnutrition tend to have yellowish, dull hair and get knotted easily.

(4) Hair lesions caused by insufficient essence. Patients suffering from chronic diseases or serious illnesses often suffer from a deficiency of essence, qi and blood, which makes the hair yellow, dry, sparsely distributed, and easy to fall off.

(5) Hair lesions caused by congenital deficiency of kidney essence. Some children with congenital insufficiency and relatively deficient kidney essence often have yellowish hair, softer hair, sparsely distributed, and slow growth. Some patients’ hair does not even grow out for a long time.

In addition to physical lesions that can cause hair lesions and accidents, malnutrition and psychological factors can also cause the color of the hair to turn white or lose hair. In addition, Western medicine believes that the hair of patients with thyroid is brittle and easy to break; patients with endocrine diseases or hypothyroidism, their hair and body hair are sparse and easy to fall; suffering from cholecystitis and colitis For patients with nephritis, the hair on the top of the head is easy to fall off; for men with nephritis, the hair on the forehead area is easy to fall off; for women with nephritis, all hair is easy to fall off. Those who lose their hair quickly may suffer from heart disease or even die from heart disease in the future.

Observation of the disease is mainly suitable for teenagers and middle-aged people. As for the elderly, due to the shrinkage of sebaceous glands and reduced sebum secretion, which is not enough to moisturize the hair, the hair becomes dry and loses its luster. This is a natural aging phenomenon and does not belong to Illness, the elderly need not worry too much.

Nine, abnormal head

1. Abnormal head shape

The head of a normal person is slightly rounded, and its size usually increases with age. Generally speaking, when a baby is born, its head circumference is about 34 cm; after 6 months, the head circumference grows to about 42 cm; one year old At the age of 18, the head circumference can generally reach about 48 cm; at the age of 10, it can grow to about 50 cm; at the age of 15 years, the head circumference will generally grow to 53 cm or more; after the age of 18, the head of a person generally no longer grows. Big. If a person's head circumference obviously does not reach or exceeds the above range, and the intelligence is low, it means that the body has a disease; if the child's intelligence development is normal, it means that the body is relatively healthy.

Abnormal head shape mainly occurs in children,

(1) Narrow head: It usually appears in children with abnormal brain development and mental retardation. It is usually caused by congenital deficiency, deficiency of kidney essence and abnormal skull development. In terms of symptoms, the cranial sutures on the head of the patient are often closed earlier, the skull is small and narrow, and the top of the head is convex and round.

(2) Enlargement of the head: It usually occurs in some children with abnormal brain development and relatively low intelligence. It is usually caused by congenital deficiency, the deficiency of kidney essence, and the phenomenon of water stagnation in the brain. In terms of symptoms, patients often have small cavities, uniformly enlarged heads, and cracks in the cranial sutures.

(3) Square head: usually due to the weakness of the spleen and stomach or kidney essence in children, which makes the skull develop abnormally. In addition, children with congenital syphilis and rickets (vitamin D deficiency) may also cause square heads. . In terms of symptoms, the top of the head is often flat and the entire head becomes square.

2. The fontanelle is abnormal

Fontanelle refers to the gap between the skull bones that appears because the skull on the top of the head of infants and young children is not closed tightly, and is generally located in the center of the top of the head. Bregma usually includes bregma and bregma. Bregma is usually diamond-shaped and usually closes when the child is 1 year old to one and a half years old; the bregma is usually triangular and closes at 4 months after the baby is born. When the front fontanelle has sunken, raised or closed time delay, it can be judged that the disease has occurred in the body. Specifically, fontanelle abnormalities mainly include the following.

(1) The fontanelle defect. It refers to an inward depression of the fontanelle of the head of infants and young children, which is mainly caused by congenital deficiency, cerebral spinal insufficiency, excessive vomiting and diarrhea, damage to body fluid, and deficiency of Qi and blood. However, it is normal for babies younger than 6 months old to have a slightly inward fontanelle.

(2) The fontanelle is raised. It means that the fontanelle on the head of infants and young children bulge out is a kind of disease, which is mainly caused by the disease of the brain spinal cord, the stagnation of water and fluid in the brain, or the evil that prevents heat from attacking the head. However, it is normal for the fontanelle to temporarily bulge outward when the baby is crying.
