Facial complexion is an outward reflection of a person's health. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs of the human body, such as the heart, stomach, kidneys, etc., correspond to specific areas of the face. When these organs are functioning properly, they are able to effectively transport qi, blood, and fluids to the head and face, resulting in facial skin looking rosy and shiny, appearing healthy and vibrant.
If there is a problem with the function of the internal organs, specific symptoms may form on the face, affecting the appearance of the person. For example, a lack of heart function may cause a pale or dull complexion, stomach problems may reflect as facial edema or melasma, and kidney problems may manifest as darkening around the eyes or facial puffiness. These external changes can be seen as a sign of visceral health problems.

Persistent eye bags or dark circles can be linked to lack of sleep, allergies, digestive issues, or kidney problems.
