Chinese medicine has a millennia-old tradition and it is no wonder that it is enjoying increasing popularity even in the West. Very interesting, for example, is the determination of illnesses in various parts of the body through their manifestations in the patient’s face.
Chinese doctors base this on the premise that the sensitivity of the skin in the face causes it to function as a mirror that reflects all the changes that occur inside the body and that have a pathological nature.
Similarly to how certain spots on the sole of the foot or the palm are connected with specific bodily organs, there is a connection between organs and parts of the human face. Experts in Chinese medicine examine the changes appearing on the skin, especially
- changes in skin color
- rashes, and
- various spots.
Below is given which parts of the face and which organs are interconnected.
