Harmonizing Insights: The Interconnection Between Physiognomy and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Two days ago, a story circulated online about a man whose wife and sister visited an elderly practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Remarkably, without checking their pulse or using any medical devices, he diagnosed the severity and origins of their ailments simply by observing their facial expressions.
To many, this might sound like mere superstition, as it seems implausible for someone to make accurate diagnoses without any scientific tools. But is it truly just superstition? Physiognomy shows that this practice is actually based on legitimate science.
The principles of physiognomy assert that you can gauge the liver's energy state by studying the eyes' color; the eyes are linked to the liver, the ears to the kidneys, the nose to the lungs, and the tongue to the heart. In this context, the liver does not refer to the organ itself but to the energy state in the liver area. When liver function declines, it disrupts the body's energy flow, causing the eyes to appear yellowish, and in severe cases, resulting in an overall yellowish complexion and a sallow appearance.
Darkened ears indicate weakened kidney energy, which is not merely a sign of aging but can also stem from energy imbalances and health issues. Pale or yellowish ears suggest fatigue due to insufficient rest. Darkening of the ears doesn't necessarily mean an impending kidney disease, but it can signify serious deterioration.
Physiognomy isn't solely used for diagnosing illnesses; it also interprets challenges a person might face due to changes in their energy. For example, weakened liver and kidney energy can negatively impact career success, making it difficult to achieve positive outcomes.
A person who is often sensitive and becomes easily angered by small matters may have what is described as a fierce aura. Conversely, someone who develops a charitable nature over time will emit a clear and kind energy. These transformations originate from within. It's important to understand that inner emotions can't be entirely hidden. Assessing a person's fortune or misfortune through physiognomy is not groundless speculation; it's comparable to diagnosing illnesses in traditional Chinese medicine. However, many people misunderstand this theory and assume cosmetic surgery can improve their fortunes, believing that altering features like moles will remove their problems. Such procedures may change one's external appearance but won't lead to genuine changes in destiny, as they prevent accurate assessments of energy and fortune.
