3. The Arches of your Eyebrows and Eye Area
On the Chinese face map, this area represents kidney problems. Issues include such things as pimples or blemishes as well as puffiness and swollen lower eyelids and dark circles under your eyes.
Cause: Overworked kidneys typically result from too much salt or preservatives, smoking, excessive alcohol, poor circulation, and/or a weakened heart.
Cure: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Also, reduce your caffeine intake and avoid alcohol, processed foods, salty foods, as well as sweetened drinks.
4. Your Nose
This area represents your heart and circulatory system.
Cause: In TCM, your cheeks and nose area are closely related to and issues in this area reflect poor cardiovascular health, including possible issues with your blood pressure and cholesterol levels (8).
Too much alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods can also trigger nose issues as can spending too much time in closed, polluted air spaces.
Cure: Add or increase the amount of essential fatty acids by eating more avocados, flax seeds, and olive and coconut oil. Remove trigger foods like alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods.
Drink organic green tea or add chlorophyll to your drinking water to help dispel toxins (9). It’s also a good idea to exercise regularly to keep your circulatory system working efficiently.
