Face reading
Many alternative medicine practices use the body's exterior to gauge its internal health. Face reading is one example of this.
Here is an illustration of common imbalances that can be observed through various signs on the face.
-
Large Intestine
Deep wrinkles – also pressing on the back. Generally out of sorts. A forehead should be smooth. Wrinkles above the chin – the intestine is pressing on the prostate/uterus. Take care of your bowels. Add spelt bran to your diet. -
Heart
Red dots and lines indicate a stressed heart. The tip of the nose should be free of bumps and such. Vertical lines on the earlobes indicate blocked coronary arteries on the side of the heart corresponding to the lines. -
Small Intestine
Wrinkles appear and disappear during conversation or thought. Uneven food digestion. At the corners of the mouth, lactose/gluten/protein intolerance or similar is often indicated. -
Liver
Wrinkles appear and disappear or are permanent. Hot-tempered. Lack of bitter substances in the diet. Drink bitter herbal tea. -
Pancreas
Deep wrinkles – understimulated. Lack of sweetness in life – sugar overdose. Lack of oxygen. -
Lungs
Rosy and purplish. Mucus, dryness, viruses, bacteria, and such. "Breathe in life!" -
Kidneys
Puffiness. Fluid overdose from acidic intake, such as coffee, soda, beer, etc. Drink alkaline water. -
Stomach
Sagging large intestine that has pulled down the stomach. "Fishhook stomach." Take extra spelt bran with all meals. -
Genitals
Testicles/Ovaries – underfunction/sluggishness. Eat plenty of berries and go to the toilet every day. -
Spleen
Drooping eyelids, bumps, whiteness, and similar with impure blood. Eat one tablespoon of nettle daily.
Other Observations
Lines around the mouth in women
Estrogen deficiency. Often starts with progesterone deficiency – corpus luteum hormone deficiency. They do not necessarily have to be due to smoking – men do not have such lines.
Mustache and hairy legs in women
Progesterone deficiency. Relatively too much testosterone.
Blue-red lines on the sides of the nose
Bronchi. Red sides of the nose – acute bronchi. Nasal cavity – lungs. Drink alkaline water and avoid overeating.
