An old Chinese doctor teaches you how to diagnose patients face to face?

Facial diagnosis is a method of determining the physical condition by observing the face. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. Observation is the first step, which is observation. Face-to-face consultation is a culture and also an experience. If you have some knowledge about facial diagnosis, you can detect the disease in time.

Identify diseases by looking at eyebrows

As we all know, eyebrows are closely related to the health of the body. If you carefully observe the centenarians in life, you will find that their eyebrows are often very long. We can also notice in traditional paintings that the birthday star’s eyebrows are always very long, even hanging down to the cheeks. Although this may sound exaggerated, it also illustrates the relationship between eyebrows and health.

Eyebrow loss may indicate kidney disease

Eyebrows have a growth cycle, and normal eyebrows will fall off after a certain period of time. If eyebrows fall out frequently, we should be alert to kidney disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the thickness of eyebrows is related to the strength of a person's kidney qi and blood. Thick eyebrows indicate abundant Qi and blood, abundant kidney Qi, and a strong and healthy body; while thin and sparse eyebrows indicate deficient kidney Qi, and a weak and sickly body.

Of course, aging can also cause eyebrow loss. If the outer side of your eyebrows gradually fall out after the age of 40, there is no need to be nervous, as this is a symbol of natural aging. However, if your eyebrows start to fall out more frequently before the age of 40, it is a symbol of premature aging. In particular, if the outer one-third of the eyebrows are too sparse or falling off, it indicates that the kidney qi is weakened, and it is often caused by adrenal insufficiency, hypopituitarism or hypothyroidism.

In the early stages of leprosy, the outer 1/3 of the eyebrows may become thickened and the eyebrows may fall out. For people with vitiligo, the roots of the eyebrows will turn white first. For some patients with alopecia areata, their eyebrows may suddenly fall out overnight. Patients with nutritional deficiencies may also experience eyebrow loss. At the same time, taking anti-cancer or anti-metabolic drugs can also cause eyebrow loss.
