What is Chinese face mapping?
Chinese face mapping (also called mien shiang, which means “face reading” in Chinese) is an ancient practice with roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The practice is based on the idea that your face reflects your inner health—meaning specific areas of your face may correspond to different organs or bodily systems and their wellness.
Problems like acne, skin discoloration, puffiness and even wrinkles in a certain area might suggest imbalances or issues in a corresponding internal organ based on the face mapping technique.
Here’s a basic breakdown of the face mapping concept:
- Forehead: Linked to the digestive system (stomach, bladder and bowels) — breakouts here might point to diet issues or stress.
- Between the eyebrows: Related to the liver—congestion here could indicate liver stress, often from poor diet or alcohol.
- Nose: Connected to the heart—redness or breakouts might suggest cardiovascular issues.
- Cheeks: Associated with the lungs and respiratory system—skin issues here could reflect allergies, smoking or even prolonged pollution exposure.
- Chin and jawline: Related to the hormones and reproductive organs—hormonal imbalances often show up as acne in this area. Other symptoms could even be sagging and jowls.
In this short TikTok video, you can see the technique and prompt that renders a complete Chinese face map guide to anyone who tries—and it’s completely free.
The most important part is the prompt, which you can alter somewhat to fit your specific needs. I used, “Be a Chinese medicine expert and use face mapping to tell me anything important about my health, hygiene and beauty.”
Almost instantly, a very detailed and precise set of data points appeared about everything from my water intake to sleep routine, dietary needs and beyond. It was jaw-droppingly accurate.
Try it for yourself. It’s easy, genius and completely free to anyone with Internet access.
