What to do if your lips are dark in color?

If your lips are dark in color, you should pay attention to whether it is caused by some disease problems, because the color of your lips can tell you about your body's health. If your lips are dark red, it may be caused by heat in the body. You should pay attention to clearing away heat and eating some hot foods.

1. Lips are red, dark red or purple

Tip: Your body is still in a state of excessive heat. The tongue is like an indicator light of energy in the body. When there is too much energy in your body, "fire" will be generated due to the excess energy. And the darker the color becomes, the greater the fire in the body.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Immediately reduce the intake of the following substances: spicy food, sugars, chicken, and mutton. They will only produce more energy, making your body more irritable and causing its color to become darker red.

2. Try not to take supplements containing ginseng, jujube and other substances. After all, adding fuel to the fire is very dangerous.

3. When so many discomforts occur, medicine is needed to help. Take 30g of Scrophularia ningpoensis, 30g of Rehmannia glutinosa, 30g of Ophiopogon japonicus, and 2g of Cinnamon bark, decocted in water and taken orally. This recipe is a famous ancient recipe called Zengye Decoction. It has obvious relieving and therapeutic effect on the above-mentioned discomforts. It can clear the "fire" in the human body while replenishing the yin fluid, so that we are no longer like dry firewood that will catch fire easily when exposed to fire.

2. Lips are pale white

Tip: Both the Qi and blood in your body are in a relatively scarce state, because they are not full enough to make your lips show the light red color they should have.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. Increase the intake of high-nutrition substances, stop being picky about food, and stop thinking about losing weight. Life is more important than being slim.

2. Chew peanuts with red inner skin appropriately every day, with no limit on the amount. Dried dates, at least fifteen a day.

3. Don’t stay up too late, as that will aggravate the destructive consumption of your already insufficient energy.

3. Lips are dark blue (purple)

Tip: There is still obvious blood stasis and qi stagnation in your body. Blood flowing at a normal speed will not cause lips to appear in this color.

Prevention and treatment methods:

1. If you rarely exercise, then jogging for 30 minutes a day will completely change your lip color.

2. It is strongly recommended to drink 1-2 tablespoons of Shanxi aged vinegar every day, which will definitely change your dark blue lips after a period of time. In addition to other functions, aged vinegar itself also has a mild effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and improving mood.

3. If you smoke, it is best to reduce the amount of smoking. It’s better to have less nicotine in the body.
