Hello.
My name is Dr. Coco.
Welcome back to our clinic.
Last time after we performed acupuncture on you,
How did you feel?
You feel much better? That's great.
What is your reason for visiting us today?
I understand.
You want me to
inspect your face, right?
Alright.
I can do that.
I will put on a pair of gloves.
Let's begin.
Can I come closer to you?
Thank you.
Let me first look at your forehead.
This area
Let's look at this side.
The left cheek.
I think
maybe there is a bit
of redness?
Next let's look at your right
cheek
This side looks normal.
Next let's look at your eyes.
Please look into my eyes.
I think
there's some redness
some swelling
next your chin
Please look up a little
There seems to be some spots on this side
acne
Next let's look at your
temples
I'll come to this side
Please look ahead.
There is a bit of
a cyan colour
Please continue to look straight ahead.
Looking at this temple here
I think
Why is it also cyan-coloured?
Next let's look at your nose.
The tip and the bridge of your nose
The colours are different
Just now when I was looking at your face
I'm mostly looking at the complexion of your face
Normally, the colour should be
slightly red underneath the skin
Just a little bit red--this is normal
However for you
You have some pathological colours
I saw it
Altogether
there are five pathological colours
The first one is white
If your face has pallor
This could be due to yang deficiency
or blood deficiency
But you don't have any pallor
Yellow on the other hand
has four causes
and there are four types of yellow
It could be
spleen qi deficiency
damp heat
dampness
or
stomach qi deficiency
But your skin is not yellow
I mean, your complexion is not yellow
Then
there is redness
Just now I told you
normally there should be a little
a little redness under the skin
however
when I was inspecting your face
I realized that your
left cheek
is too red
therefore this is a problem
but on your right side
we do not have this issue
Yes
Redness could be caused by
excess heat
or deficiency heat
If your entire face
is red
then you must have excess heat
If it were just your cheeks
it's more likely to be deficiency heat
but your redness
Is different from this pattern
I will continue to explain to you
Finally
We have cyan
Cyan is in between
blue and green
It can be due to cold conditions
or pain conditions
Or internal wind
Or
liver problems
Your liver could have fire
Or liver qi stagnation
Or liver blood stagnation
When I'm looking at your complexion
I saw that your temples are a little cyan in colour
Right, so
This could be due to your liver
having problems
The final pathological colour
is grey
This grey colour could be due to
kidney deficiency
Or cold conditions
But I didn't see any grey in your face
Let me come closer again
So
Your forehead
looks pretty healthy
Your nose has problems
Your nose's
bridge
has some redness
but the tip of your nose
is normal
next
your cheeks
this side
is normal
but
your left side
is abnormal
it's red
your chin
is also normal
You're asking
why
your left side is red
while your right side isn't? Let me explain.
This picture
This is a female face
and
let's divide her face into
5 areas
her forehead
represents the heart
The cheeks
the left side represents the liver
the right side represents the lungs
and the chin
is the kidney
So
you
your left side
is red which means your liver
has some fire, some heat
but your lung does not have heat
Regarding this nose
I'll explain later
It's a little more complex but not that complex
When I'm looking at your nose
your nose bridge
is
red
but the tip of your nose
has no problems
this is because
this
nose tip
represents the liver
sorry
the nose bridge represents the liver
the tip of the nose represents the spleen
So you truly
have liver problems
i think this is the reason
Also, have you had nasal discharge?
Today, yesterday or the day before?
No
That's good
If you have a runny nose
clear discharge means wind cold
thick discharge means wind heat
next time when you have a runny nose
you can remember this
Chinese Medicine is like this
Your body's
many different regions
can represent your inner organs
your nose, your face,
your ear, tongue
eyes, feet, etc
all can represent your inner organs
Let's continue to
assess your eyes and explain to you
if we
look at your
sclera
the sclera represents the lungs
your sclera
is a little red
let's look at this side
Yes, this side is also red.
Your iris
represents the liver
it also looks a little red
both sides
look a little red
Let me come closer again
Yes
your sclera and iris
are both red
Next your pupil
No problems with that
Your eyelids
seem swollen
And this side
looks swollen
the corners of your eyes
they represent your heart
No problems with that
So
Your eyes truly can show
how healthy your organs are
And for you, I see that both your eyes
look very red and very swollen
This just shows that your liver
truly has fire
May I look at your tongue?
Please show me
This tongue also looks
very red
the sides are also red
the tongue coating
is very yellow
Thank you
I want to also take your pulse
Please give me your hands
Your pulse is very fast
and
the left
liver guan position
is fast and
strong
So I can say for sure that
Your body truly has liver fire
Alright thank you
Yes
This liver fire
is often caused by emotional problems
If you get angry a lot
throw tantrums and feel irritated
These emotions can hurt your liver
Yes
Also if you
drink too much alcohol
Or if you eat too many fried foods
fried dishes
or if you eat too much red meat
Did you eat too many fried foods?
And you also anger easily?
That's right
These are your causes
You should do some Qi Gong every day
Allow yourself to calm down
Don't get angry
Don't throw tantrums
Treat other people, your family
your friends
treat them better
Also please don't drink alcohol now
Don't eat fried foods
Eat fewer red meats
Eat more of
Chicken or duck
You can eat fish
or seafood
These are all good for you
Tomorrow please come back
I will do some more acupuncture for you
Your my last patient today
So you can rest
quietly rest here, lie down
and I will prepare your Chinese medicine
Okay, thank you
Please rest
