Face mapping is thought to have originated in the sixth century B.C. It has been used by holistic healers to aid in medical diagnosis ever since. The Tao Institute of Mind & Body Medicine in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, are experts in face mapping. Dr. Jingduan Yang, M.D., from the Tao Institute, says that “facial features are directly connected to the body’s organs, and subtle changes can be early signs of weakness or imbalances.”
Watching closely for these signs can clue you in to minor issues so that you can treat them before they become bigger problems. It is important to be aware of these facial signs, which are really symptoms; revealers of larger medical issues. Treatment of these problems can get you back on track and back to feeling your very best again.
If you look in the mirror and you see sparse eyebrows, this may signify a thyroid problem. The outer third of the eyebrow tends to fall out when the thyroid is unable to produce sufficient levels of energy and of the metabolism-regulating hormones known as “triiodothyronine” (T3) and “thyroxine” (T4), reports Lillian Bridges, author of the book, Face Reading in Chinese Medicine. Left unread and untreated, this thyroid condition, which affects as many as 30 per cent of women, can lead to metabolic slowdown, fatigue and depression.
This problem can be helped by eating seaweed. More than 90 per cent of women with a sluggish thyroid are deficient in iodine, a mineral that helps synthesize T3 and T4. But this deficiency can be reversed with a daily serving of iodine-rich seaweed, known as kelp
. Kelp comes in the form of seaweed salad and crunchy snack treats. You can also get kelp powder and spoon it onto salads and soups. It is extremely healthy for us.
