Women with healthy lips can look more beautiful and sexy, but we often see people with unhealthy lips. Once the color of your lips changes, it indicates that there is a problem with your body. Let's take a look at how to determine body health through the lips.
Pale Lips
It indicates that both the air and blood in your body are relatively lacking, as they are not sufficient to give your lips the natural pale red color.
Common discomforts: fatigue, tiredness, back pain, low libido, etc.
Prevention and treatment: Strengthen the intake of nutrients, avoid excessive picky eating, and stop thinking about losing weight. Your life is more important than being slim.
Recommendation: Focus on replenishing Qi and nourishing blood for insufficient Qi and blood. In clinical practice, Ba Zhen Tang (cooked Rehmannia, Chinese Angelica, White Peony, Szechuan Lovage, Codonopsis, White Atractylodes, Poria, Licorice) can be used as the main formula with modifications.
Non-pharmacological therapies, such as meridian therapy, can be used for regular head, facial, and foot massages for health maintenance.
Exercise is an essential part of regulating Qi and blood. You can practice yoga, tai chi, and other gentle exercises for relaxation.
Red or Dark Red/Purple Lips
It indicates that there is excessive heat in your body. The tongue is like an indicator of the energy inside your body. When there is too much energy, it will generate "heat". The darker the color becomes, the greater the internal heat.
Common discomforts: toothache, headache, dizziness, constipation, dark urine, etc.
Prevention and treatment: Pay attention to work-life balance in daily life. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, drink plenty of water, and consume less spicy and fried foods, as well as less smoking and drinking. You can try foods that have heat-clearing properties, but it should be tailored to your specific symptoms.
Lotus seed soup can clear heart heat, eating pig liver can clear lung heat, drinking mung bean porridge can clear stomach heat, drinking pear water can clear liver heat, eating pig kidney can clear kidney heat.
Pay attention to the choice of fruits as well. Some fruits have a hot nature, such as lychee, orange, pineapple, longan, pomegranate, mango, etc.
Dark Blue/Purple Lips
It indicates that there is obvious blood stasis and qi stagnation in your body. Normal flowing blood does not present lips of this color.
Common discomforts: chest tightness, frequent sighing, occasional chest pain, nightmares, etc.
Prevention and treatment: If you rarely exercise, 30 minutes of jogging every day will completely change the color of your lips. It is strongly recommended to drink 1-2 tablespoons of Shanxi aged vinegar every day, which will definitely change the dark blue/purple color of your lips after a period of time. Aged vinegar itself has a gentle function of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, as well as improving mood.
Skin around the Lips Turns Black
It indicates that there is obvious dampness in your body, and it also implies that your kidneys and spleen/stomach are starting to show signs of deficiency.
Common discomforts: decreased appetite, poor digestion, heaviness in the lower limbs, frequent urination, etc.
Prevention and treatment: Avoid various sweets, fried and greasy foods, sticky foods, and raw and cold foods as much as possible, as they can generate more dampness in your body.
After meals, do not lie down or sleep immediately, as this will directly lead to dampness due to slow transportation of food.
