In Ayurveda, there are many external messages that if we were to heed the messages or had knowledge of them, we could quickly diagnose ourselves without any of the main stream medical apparatuses and approaches. Oral, tongue, eye and skin are many of the methods used, facial diagnosis is another.
Ayurveda is one of the oldest ancient healing systems/practices in the world. It has been around for thousands of years and literally translates from the Sanskrit language as "life-knowledge". Broken down Ayus means "life" and Vedic means "knowledge". The diagram below shows what certain facial lines mean.
Common findings with facial diagnosis:
Malabsorption
Low liver and/or spleen energy
Low kidney and/or adrenal energy
Weak reproductive organs
Weak prostate; future prostate issues
High cholesterol
Low lung energy; chronic respiratory issues
Chronic worry; high anxiety
Low libido
Unresolved, deep seated grief
History of high blood pressure (hypertension)
Endometriosis
Hemorrhoids
Future hypothyroid disorder
