Things You Can Tell by Looking at Your Face

Not really sure if they are true as there really is no proof nor scientific basis proving their legitimacy, but it's worth giving a check.

Seeing a swollen face in the mirror is a source of stress for people in the morning. Some blame lack of sleep while some others blame the instant noodles or alcohol they indulged in the day before.

However, sometimes, it's not that simple. The various parts of our face are said to correspond to particular organs in the body and skin trouble may indicate some part of your body needs attention.

1. Forehead: Your forehead tells you about your chest area. If a rash or strange wrinkle suddenly appears on your forehead, you may have lung trouble; but if your forehead goes red, you heart may be in trouble.

2. Eyes: Eyes show your liver and intestine condition. If your eyes are red too often, or tears from for no apparent reason, your liver may be out of sorts. If you flip back your eyelids and find your capillaries lack redness, you may be suffering from anemia.

3. Nose: The nose is related to the livers and aspiratory organs. If you have a rash on your nose, you may have lung problems. An ongoing red nose could indicate liver troubles.

4. Mouth: Mouth, lips and tongues show the condition of the digestive organs.
If you have sores on your lips, you may have gastritis. However, if you have irritation around your mouth or chin, it could indicate uterus, ovary or sex-organ trouble.

5. Teeth: The teeth relate to the kidneys. If your teeth break or decay easily, this could indicate a lack of calcium, which is related to kidney malfunctioning.

6. Cheek: Pimples on your right cheek could mean too much heat in the lungs. Pimples on the left cheek could mean liver trouble.

7. Hair: Silky black hair indicates good blood circulation and hormonal condition. Prematurely graying hair could mean kidney trouble.

Of course not every rash or pimple indicates organic problems. However, looking at your face in the mirror for just a minute each day will help you get in touch with and understand your body better.


Not everything you read and see in the internet is true. The best way keep healthy is to eat a balance diet, eat right on time, have enough rest and sweat yourself off to eliminate toxins in the body.
