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
