Lips are one of the most important parts of a person's face; we use them every day for eating, drinking, and speaking. But did you know? You can also check if a person is healthy through their lips.
As the saying goes, "The spleen opens into the lips, and its brilliance is reflected in the lips." If a person's spleen and stomach are not in good condition, it will show in the color of their lips. Not sure if you've noticed, but everyone's lip color is different: some are reddish, some are pale, and others are dark red. Even the same person's lip color can vary at different times. The color, gloss, and texture of the lips all reflect the body's health status.
Normal healthy lips are generally reddish and glossy, moderately moist and elastic. Once there is a problem with the body, the lips will show changes. Healthy lip color should be glossy red, indicating balanced qi and blood. If there are the following conditions or color changes, special attention is needed. Besides healthy lip color, common lip colors can be divided into four types:
Commonly seen in people with yang deficiency, qi deficiency constitution, or blood deficiency. People with pale lips generally also have a pale complexion, and the lower eyelids change from pink to a whitish color, indicating qi and blood deficiency. This usually manifests as dizziness, shortness of breath, easy palpitations, cold hands and feet, sensitivity to cold, hair loss, and in women, delayed menstruation, light flow, and pale red color.
Solution: For daily health care to replenish qi and blood, you can eat some longan meat, grapes, red dates, lychee, and other blood-nourishing foods; if caused by iron deficiency anemia, you can eat foods rich in iron, such as cherries, red amaranth, spinach, beef, black fungus, etc.

Commonly seen in cases of spleen and stomach weakness. Yellowing of the lips, lack of energy, and sometimes dazedness and drowsiness are among the most common problems in developing children, adolescents, and young adults. This issue is often "caused by over-supplementation"! Because parents often overlook the problem that "the liver is often in excess, and the spleen is often deficient" in children and adolescents, they blindly provide "nutritional supplements." As a result, the excess nutrients and the dampness from fruits tend to accumulate in the intestines, which over time damages gastrointestinal function, trapping the spleen and stomach in dampness and heat. Ultimately, the lips take on a yellowish appearance.
Solution: Strengthen the spleen and stomachFor those with yellow lips, on the basis of strengthening the spleen and stomach, digestion and stagnation should be relieved. You can consume ingredients such as ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria, licorice, lotus seed meat, coix seed, white hyacinth bean, Chinese yam, and jujube, which benefit qi, strengthen the spleen, regulate qi, and harmonize the stomach; then combine with dried tangerine peel, Poria, hawthorn, white cogongrass root, etc., decocted or soaked in boiling water; supplemented with foods containing intestinal probiotics to cleanse the intestines. Persist in having more vegetables and less meat at each meal, eating until 70% full, maintaining "30% hunger," which can avoid food accumulation and harmonize the conflict between the liver and spleen, making the child's spleen and stomach strong and digestion smooth.
