Women use this trick to treat dull complexion!

Being young and beautiful is the common wish of all women. Therefore, some people usually spend a lot of time on skin care and place their hopes on various skin care products. However, these can only improve surface skin problems but not deep improvements. So if you want to regulate your complexion, you need not only external care but also internal conditioning. Only by taking both internal and external approaches can you achieve a good complexion.

Complexion reflects the health of the five internal organs

Some women are not very old, but their faces are haggard, dull and yellow. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the complexion will easily turn yellow. The reason for abnormal complexion is that some people are on excessive diet, some people have poor stomach, and their digestion and absorption functions are weakened, which leads to malnutrition or imbalance, and weak spleen and stomach. Among the five internal organs, the spleen is closely related to complexion, and the liver can also affect changes in complexion.

The liver belongs to the element of wood in the five elements. Excessive liver qi will suppress the spleen and stomach, causing a chain reaction. In addition, bad mood, too much stress, and irregular menstruation can cause liver depression and qi stagnation, resulting in a dark yellow complexion. People with liver qi stagnation are generally introverted and prone to sulking. They often experience chest tightness, poor appetite, and sometimes a bloated lower abdomen, especially before menstruation, and are prone to hiccups. Liver qi stagnation is very common among middle-aged women. There is a saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine that one should treat the kidneys in early years, regulate the liver in middle age, and strengthen the spleen in old age.

In addition to bad complexion, some people also have chloasma or ecchymosis on their faces. Ecchymosis is called liver spots in traditional Chinese medicine, which is caused by stagnation of liver qi. The appearance of ecchymosis is also related to kidney health. This is because Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the heaven of the five internal organs and the innate foundation, so the manifestations of many diseases are closely related to the kidney. What Chinese medicine considers kidney deficiency is called endocrine disorders in Western medicine. Endocrine disorders can cause poor complexion, chloasma, butterfly spots, etc., especially in people who are approaching menopause but not menopause.

Disease causes behind yellow face

A yellow complexion and poor complexion not only reduce your image, but may also lead to some pathological changes if not actively treated. Let’s talk about liver qi stagnation first. If it becomes serious to a certain degree, symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, dizziness, poor sleep, and neurasthenia may occur. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "when Qi flows, blood flows; when Qi stagnates, blood stagnates." Long-term liver Qi stagnation can easily lead to Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Most women with bad complexions have blood stasis. Many women have uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and even breast hyperplasia and thyroid diseases. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the source of these diseases is Qi stagnation and blood stasis.

In addition, some women often experience unexplained abdominal pain and back pain, some even have pain during sexual intercourse and dysmenorrhea, accompanied by irritability, insomnia and forgetfulness. The external manifestations are ugly complexion and dark tongue coating. Some people will have bruises, but a check-up in the hospital shows no serious illness. This disease is caused by congestion in the pelvic venous system.
