Four Facial Liver Health Clues
Typically known only by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, discover which four facial signs could foretell of a liver problem.
by Nicole Cutler, L.Ac.
A centuries old system of healing, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is known to reveal aspects of a personâs health without a single lab test being ordered. Many may think that a healer guessing correctly about health issues after a short consultation harbors psychic powers. However, the knowledge used for an observational health assessment has nothing to do with clairvoyance. Different from Western physicians primarily depending on imaging studies, blood tests and biopsies for assessing liver health, practitioners of TCM view facial observation as a crucial liver assessment tool.
Visual diagnosis is a surprisingly reliable practice for uncovering a personâs strengths and weaknesses. As the most revealing part of the body that provides insight into the internal organ systems, the face can divulge several secrets about a personâs liver health. Although years of schooling in TCM is required to fully grasp facial observation and diagnosis, a crib sheet on four facial clues that indicate liver imbalances is described below:
1.   Between the Eyes â The area between the eyebrows relates to the condition of the liver. A vertical line between the eyebrows may indicate liver problems, ranging from dietary concerns to emotional issues. Evidenced by a crease in the foreheadâs center, excessive fat in the diet or food intolerances can negatively impact the liver. In addition, the liver is the organ that holds anger â and can be injured from rage. A precursor to congestion in the liver, a deep frown line is frequently found on those who either suppress their anger or get angry quickly.
2.   The Eyeballs Themselves â There are three indicators of a possible liver imbalance detected on the eyeball. The first is a white ring bordering the colored part of the eye. This white ring may be a sign of fatty deposits caused by high cholesterol. High cholesterol is one of the leading risks for developing fatty liver disease. The second is a red appearance to the whites of the eyes (sclera). If not related to environmental factors or a cold or flu, reddened sclera could be an indication of high blood pressure â a condition that could be caused by advanced liver disease. The third is a yellowish color to the sclera. Yellow eyes are an indicator of jaundice â an excess of bilirubin in the blood. Because the liver is responsible for removing bilirubin from the blood, a buildup of bilirubin often points to a problem with liver function.

Cortexin diffusion in human eye sclera - IOPscience - Optical ...
Investigation of the diffusion of cytamines, a typical representative of which is cortexin, is important for evaluating the drug dose, necessary to provide sufficient concentration of the preparation in the inner tissues of the eye. In the present paper, the cortexin diffusion rate in the eye sclera is measured using the methods of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance spectroscopy. The technique for determining the diffusion coefficient is based on the registration of temporal dependence of the eye sclera scattering parameters caused by partial replacement of interstitial fluid with the aqueous cortexin solution, which reduces the level of the OCT ...
