Commentary:
The health of the Heart is reflected in the face. The facial complexion depends on
the state of Qi and Blood.
If there is enough Blood and if the Heart is strong, the face is rosy and shines. A
pale facial complexion is a sign of Qi Deficiency
or Blood Deficiency. Blood
Stagnation manifests in a bluish-violet facial complexion. A red facial complexion
is a sign of Heat or Heart
Fire. If the Heart or other organs are the root cause, it has to be clarified by
further examination. The health of the spirit is reflected in the eyes. Pale, dull
eyes show a disturbance of the spirit.
