Facial Diagnosis
The face is a holographic reflection of various parts of the body and diseases. Each part of the body is not independent but interconnected and mutually restrictive, from the five internal organs (wǔ zàng) to the limbs and skin, down to the nine orifices and hair. If one part experiences a pathological change or discomfort, it can disturb or affect other parts, even the whole body.
The various areas of the face represent or reflect not just the local area but also the reflex zones of the five internal organs on the face.
We can naturally infer a person’s mental and health status from their facial complexion, as well as whether their daily routine is normal. Once facial issues arise, adjusting the five internal organs can resolve the problems manifested on the face.

Eye Diagnosis
The Five Wheel Theory: Based on the Five Elements perspective, the eye is divided into five parts: inner wheel, blood wheel, qi wheel, wind wheel, and water wheel, each corresponding to specific organs, explaining the physiological and pathological mechanisms of the eye, guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment.
The Eight Trigrams Theory: Divides the eye according to the positions of the Eight Trigrams, associating them with the six fu organs, pericardium, and mingmen. When eye diseases occur, observing the position, color, thickness, and quantity can provide a basis for treatment.
Nasal Diagnosis
The nose is a microcosm of the organ systems, with specific corresponding areas for each organ reflected in the nose, systematically reflecting the physiological and pathological conditions of the organ systems.
Ear Diagnosis
Holographic ear therapy is derived from acupuncture based on the theory of meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By conducting through ear acupoints, it fundamentally regulates the qi and blood flow of the patient’s organs, unblocking the meridians to achieve the goal of treating the root cause of diseases.
Lip Diagnosis
The lips are the hub of the fourteen meridians, a crucial point for the organs. We use the Eight Trigrams diagram to illustrate the correspondence between the organs and the lips.
Tongue Diagnosis
Tongue diagnosis is an important method in Traditional Chinese Medicine for diagnosing diseases. The tongue is connected to the five internal organs through meridians, allowing us to understand the deficiency or excess of the organs and the nature, severity, and changes of pathogenic factors.
Tooth Diagnosis
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that “teeth are the remnants of bones,” and “gums are the network of the stomach.” Teeth are closely connected to the internal organs through numerous meridians.
The upper incisors belong to the heart, the lower incisors belong to the kidneys; the upper canines and premolars belong to the stomach, the lower canines and premolars belong to the spleen; the upper left molars belong to the gallbladder, the lower left molars belong to the liver, the upper right molars belong to the large intestine, and the lower right molars belong to the lungs.
