The term face refers to the central sense organ.

The human face, include the hair, forehead, eyebrow, eyes, nose, ears, cheeks, mouth, lips, philtrum, teeth, skin, and chin.

The face has uses of expression, appearance, and identity .

It also has different senses like olfaction, taste, hearing, and vision.

Physiognomy (from the GK. "physis" meaning 'nature' and "gnomon" meaning

'judge' or 'interpreter') means the assessment of a

person's character or personality from their outer appearance,

especially the face 5www.similima.com

A facial expression results from one or more motions or positions of the muscles of the face.

These movements convey the emotional state of the individual to observers.

Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication.

They are a primary means of conveying social information among humans, but also occur in most other mammals and some other animal species.

Some expressions can be accurately interpreted anger and extreme contentment.

Others, however, are difficult to interpret even in familiar individuals. For instance, disgust and fear can be tough to tell apart

Some faces are often falsely read as expressing some emotion, even when they are neutral, because their proportions naturally resemble those another face would temporarily assume when emoting.

Facial analysis is not an exact science, but rather subjective, and open to many factors in a person's life, from genetics to environmental influences.

The Chinese understood the concept that the face represents the energies, health and fortune of a person and they wished to live in harmony with these.

Certain diseases alter the expression or appearance of the face because the disease process is related to the development or physiology of the face and affects its structure or behavior or both.

Each face is a map of the past, present and the future.

Inappropriate diet, persistent negative emotions, drugs, toxins and stress all contribute to lines, congestion, and colours on the face.

The three divisions of face from top to bottom forehead, midface and lower face represent the nervous, circulatory and digestive systems.

And the facial zones represent the internal organs.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Note the changes in facial skin color or texture;

puffiness or tight drawn areas; swollen or sunken areas; the appearances of broken capillaries on the surface of the skin; lines, pimples, freckles, or other marks; all reflect changes in the function and structure of the related organs.

Note each point on the face and its corresponding organ.

You don't need to work on the facial skin, but rather you need to work on the corresponding organ

14www.similima.com

Area A: The mouth, lips, tongue, mouth cavity, area around the mouth show the digestive functions as a whole. This

area also relates partially to the respiratory function, especially at its peripheral area.

Area B: The forehead and its periphery, including the temples and eyebrows, represent the conditions of the

nervous system as a whole.Area C: The side facial areas, including both eyes, cheeks and ears, represent the circulatory and excretory systems

as a whole.

Kidney the half moon-shaped area under the eye.

If the area is puffy and blue, an imbalance in the fluid balance of the body.

Look at the ears and if they are redder than the skin on the face, the adrenal glands are overworking.

This also applies if the inner corner of the eye has a sunken, dark blue look to it.

19www.similima.com

Liver Two vertical lines between the eyebrows Combined with two smaller hook-shaped lines,

this means that the gall bladder is also showing stress

If the area is dark brown and has a congested look, the liver is showing signs of energy stagnation.

This could mean that the liver is stressed, through pent-up frustration, anger or rich food and alcohol.

If combined with one-sided headaches, jaw tension then that indicates fat and hormone metabolism is affected.

20www.similima.com

Stomach and Intestines The mouth shows the energy of the stomach and intestines

The lower part of the face relates to the lower abdomen. Congestion, white spots or a granular-like feeling under the skin and blotchy areas may point to yeast infection,

If the chin is red and swollen, it means that there is a structural weakness in the organs, candida or stuck energy in the abdomen.

If the lower lip protrudes, this shows a sluggish colon

21www.similima.com

If the top lip is cracked, red, or has spots at the corner, this could indicate stomach acidity or heat caused by inappropriate diet.

Lines which go down the cheek from the inner corner of the eye are another indication of a bowel problem.

A yellow colour around the mouth and lack of tone in the mouth indicate that the digestive energy is weak. On the other hand, a green colour indicates that the liver is the prime cause of the problem.

Very thin lips indicate person taking very little food and has workaholic tendencies.

22www.similima.com

Lungs the nostrils and lower cheek

Redness, puffiness and breakouts around the nostrils and lower cheek indicate mucus and congestion in the lungs.

One may be on the verge of a bronchial infection if this area suddenly becomes red and dry.

23www.similima.com

Energy and Vitality The eyebrows relate to our creative, mental and sexual energies and the amount of drive and go we have.

fine eyebrows denote sensitivity and less robust health.

Hairs growing in different directions show a restless mind, someone who needs help to focus , while pointed eyebrows belong to someone who is innovative, determined, independent and likes to be first in everything they do.

24www.similima.com

Dark crescent-shaped eyebrows belong to people who need to make decisions intuitively and like to work with others.

Thyroid problems are indicated by eyebrows which dissipate at the ends.

Homoeopathic references. In the tubercular patientthe face and head is often

seen to be the shape of a pyramid (1) How generally we see the landmarks of one of these

chronic miasms stamped upon the organism. We see it in every feature and every physiological process; in the shape and contour of the body; upon the visual expression, the face, nose, lips, ears, mouth, upon the hair, its growth, lustre and general beauty or lack of it(1)

The appearance of people suffering from the syphilitic stigma often tells the story at a glance, for we observe that the head is large and bulging, the hair is moist, gluey, greasy (2)
