"Red lips and white teeth" is the pursuit of every beauty lover.However, chapped lips, peeling skin, dull lip color, misaligned teeth, yellow teeth and other problems that affect beauty have troubled female friends deeply.How can we have plump lips and white teeth?From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "the spleen opens to the mouth, and its beauty is in the lips"; "the teeth are the sheath of the kidneys", as long as the five internal organs are internally adjusted, the spleen and kidneys are invigorated, and the blood in the body is sufficient, the lips and teeth will add points to your beauty .

(Section [-]) The spleen opens into the mouth, and the teeth are the kidneys

TCM diagnosis has always focused on "look, smell, ask, and feel".The lips and teeth of a person can also reflect the development of internal diseases.If you want to pursue health and beauty, you must start with strengthening your spleen and nourishing your kidneys to make your beauty more natural and lasting.

Lips are rosy and shiny

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen opens to the mouth, and its beauty is on the lips, which means that the health of the spleen will be directly reflected on the lips. If the temper is healthy, the lips will be rosy and shiny, and even without lipstick, they will be charming; If the temper is not in luck, the function of transporting and transforming the essence of water and grain will be out of balance, and the lips will appear sallow, pale, thick and dull.

Having voluptuous lips is every woman's dream. "The lips are about to move" and "the lips are fragrant" are modern men's descriptions of the sexiness of women's lips, which are tempting to talk about.In fact, it is not difficult to have a charming, natural, ruddy lips. As long as you invigorate the spleen and stomach, start with nourishing the spleen and Qi, you can still be fresh and tender without lipstick.

Moisturizing the spleen is a prerequisite for moisturizing the lips.Nourishing the spleen should be combined with nourishing the stomach. The stomach likes moistness and hates dryness, cool and hates heat, and the spleen likes dryness and hates damp. It likes heat and hates cold.Stomach qi is balanced by descending, if it does not descend, abdominal distension, constipation, belching and hiccups will occur.Temperament rises to be healthy, and if it does not rise, dizziness and diarrhea, drowsiness of limbs, and prolapse of viscera are easy.Therefore, we should also pay attention to regulating the stomach while nourishing the spleen.

Doing some exercise and massage can help the "temper" to be transported and transformed, so as to regulate the spleen and stomach internally and moisturize the lips externally.Young people can do sit-ups before going to bed and when they get up, and older people can massage their abdomen more.

Drinking plenty of water and eating more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C are shortcuts to moisturize your lips.

Protein-rich foods such as eggs, milk, lean meat, fish and shrimp can help reduce lip lines.

Foods rich in iron, such as animal livers, help to produce blood and make lips bright.

No matter in any season, the regulation of the spleen and stomach should be determined according to the actual situation of the person: for those with heat in the stomach, clearing is the main method, and for those with deficiency and coldness in the spleen and stomach, warming and tonic should be used.But no matter medicine tonic or food tonic, it is advisable to feel comfortable after taking it.

Kidney qi failure - teeth will slowly fall out

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney governs the bones, and the teeth are the genus of the bones.Teeth are most closely related to the kidneys, so if a person's teeth are not well developed, usually the kidneys are also bad.Sparse teeth, exposed tooth roots or accompanied by pale white bleeding gums, yellow and withered teeth, gum atrophy, etc., are mostly due to deficiency of kidney qi.Insufficient kidney qi and loss of qi and blood will cause the teeth to lose nutrients, become dull, yellow and black.Normal teeth should be white, moist and strong, which is a manifestation of strong kidney qi and sufficient body fluid.Therefore, the root of tooth protection is to nourish the kidney essence.

For beautiful teeth, you can nourish your kidneys through food supplements, medication and daily life.

Although Chinese medicine does not specifically emphasize the method of scaling teeth, it advocates using simple methods to protect teeth in daily life.Usually eat more walnuts, hazelnuts and other foods that can nourish the kidney, which can nourish the kidney and strengthen the teeth at the same time.Eat more foods with high calcium content such as shrimp and milk, which can nourish and strengthen teeth.

Three meals a day is also a good time to chew, protect teeth and nourish the kidney. Chinese medicine believes that saliva is transformed by kidney essence, which in turn can nourish the essence in the kidney. There is a saying of "jade pulp" and "yujin".Chew food with teeth and secrete saliva in the mouth. If you chew food carefully and swallow slowly, the water and grain essence in the diet can be fully mixed and absorbed with saliva. This will directly benefit the spleen and stomach and indirectly nourish the kidney.The spleen governs the transportation and transformation of the essence of water and grain, the congenital kidney can be nourished by the acquired spleen, and the spleen can nourish the kidney essence at the same time.

Tapping teeth is a method of beauty and beauty repeatedly mentioned by traditional health care, and the benefits to teeth are beyond doubt.When you are free, let the upper and lower rows of teeth collide rhythmically and make a rattling sound, dozens of times in a row, to get the fluid.Hard things remember that the teeth of thousands of gums in the wild must be colored, the teeth will not be stained, and it is good to prevent them, and the teeth can be used to improve the effect of mouth teeth.

, the method is easy to avoid silver, and Waqin is not tolerated.The tooth type should wait until the anti-staining teeth are rubbed and soaked in oil after the tooth is selected. If the food sauce is used, the protection will be firm and the element will be protected. Therefore, if you eat wine in your mouth, use red meat to treat the gums. When you inject the teeth and brush the teeth, it is recommended to rinse the gums with coffee and coffee in time when there are grooves in the mouth, face, and face.It is recommended to live in eliminating things.
