What is the reason for turning blue?
This article introduces: What's the matter with turning blue? The healthy skin color of Asians is yellow and pink. If you look blue, it may be something wrong with your liver.
It is said that a person's face can reflect a person's health. If you look bad, it may be a sign of some kind of disease. For example, if you are blue, you need to be alert to liver disease.
When angry, people often say, "I'm blue with anger." In fact, green and cyan are very close, which means turning blue.
So, what is the connection between turning blue and the liver? This should start with the five colors of traditional Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicine believes that complexion can be divided into two categories: normal color and diseased color. Normal color refers to the common color on the face of healthy people. For example, white people are born with white skin, while we yellow people are born with yellow skin with pink, bright, moist and subtle. This is a sign that we China people are full of vigor and vitality. Of course, this skin color can be changed objectively, for example, it will be whiter in cold weather and redder after drinking. But these changes are within the physiological range and are normal.
In addition to these normal colors, the color of the lower part of the human body in a disease state is sick. The colors of diseases are mainly divided into five kinds: blue, red, yellow, white and black, which respectively represent the diseases of liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. Under normal circumstances, these five colors will not be revealed, but it is the pathological changes of the five internal organs that make the color dominated by the five internal organs no longer hidden, but clearly revealed on the face.
Typical: to describe a person's poor nutritional status, our common adjective is "sallow and emaciated", which refers to the pathological appearance caused by weak spleen and stomach and poor digestion and absorption function. But cyan is not only caused by the abnormal physiological function of the liver caused by various reasons, but also caused by the true color of the liver exposed to the face.
It should be noted that the five zang-organs diseases here cannot be equated with the five zang-organs diseases of western medicine. In other words, it is not only people who really have liver disease who will have abnormal complexion. Chinese medicine believes that as long as the physiological function of the liver is affected, diseases will occur. For example, a person is always easy to get angry, which leads to abnormal physiological function of the liver governing the discharge, and it will turn blue after a long time. Of course, patients with real liver disease will turn blue sometimes. For example, liver cirrhosis caused by various reasons, and the patient's face turns black due to the accumulation of kidneys in the later stage.
Therefore, if you find that your face is blue, it means that the small tail of Chinese medicine "liver disease" is exposed, which needs to be paid attention to and checked in advance.
