Key Points

01

People with poor liver health

Have poor facial color

Zhai Shuangqing

Professor, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

People with poor liver health may have a greenish or dark complexion.

Greenish complexion:

The liver is the organ that stores blood and regulates blood flow. When the liver is damaged, it can lead to oxygen deficiency or blood stasis, resulting in poor circulation and ineffective detoxification, causing the skin to appear greenish or purplish.

Dark complexion:

Poor liver health may also lead to toxin accumulation in the body, causing the facial skin to gradually darken, resulting in a dull, dark complexion without luster.

Liver-nourishing tea: Jujube, Poria, and Yam Tea

Take 10 grams each of jujube (Da Zao), Poria (Fu Ling), and yam (Shan Yao), and brew with boiling water or cook in a health pot for 15 minutes.

Contraindicated groups:

Generally, everyone can drink it, but those allergic to jujube, Poria, or yam should avoid it.

If the spleen’s function is impaired, qi and blood deficiency can cause the lips to appear pale, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as chapped or cracked lips.If spleen deficiency is combined with damp-heat, symptoms like canker sores and bad breath may occur.

Spleen-nourishing tea: Barley, Dried Tangerine Peel, and Hawthorn Tea

Take 15 grams of barley (Da Mai), 10 grams of hawthorn (Shan Zha), and 5 grams of dried tangerine peel (Chen Pi), and brew with boiling water or cook in a health pot for 15 minutes.

People with poor lung health

Have dull, lifeless skin

Zhai Shuangqing

Professor, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine

Lung qi is closely related to our health status. When lung qi is insufficient, the skin appears dull and lifeless.

Lung-nourishing tea: Water Chestnut, Ophiopogon, and Pear Water

Take pear (Li), water chestnut (Bi Qi), and Ophiopogon (Mai Dong) in a ratio of 2:2:1, place the three ingredients in a health pot, and boil with water for 15 minutes.
