Some people say that since the eyes are the windows of the mind, the eyebrows are the cracks in the door of the mood. It can also be said that eyebrows are ornaments of beauty, a peep window of mood, a showcase of personality, and a barometer of health.
The Yellow Emperor’s Canon of internal medicine, the earliest existing medical classic in China, once pointed out that “those with beautiful eyebrows have more blood than those with evil eyebrows.” The so-called evil eyebrows were interpreted by the ancients as “withered eyebrows without brilliance”. From this point of view, the eyebrows are long, thick and moist, reflecting the exuberance of blood; On the contrary, the eyebrows are thin and short, thin and dry, which reflects the lack of Qi and blood.
1. Eyebrows fall off
Those with light and sparse eyebrows are often seen in those with weak Qi and blood, who are weak and have many diseases. Such patients are prone to cold hands and feet and weak kidney qi. In patients with hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism, eyebrows often fall off, especially at the lateral 1 / 3 of the eyebrows. In leprosy patients, in the early stage of the lesion, the lateral eyebrow skin is thickened and the eyebrows fall off. Alopecia areata patients may also have eyebrow shedding symptoms. Cancer, syphilis, and severe anemia may also cause eyebrow shedding. Some anti-cancer or antimetabolic drugs also have such side effects.
2. Drooping eyebrows
Most of them are formed by facial paralysis. If one side of the eyebrow droops, it means that the side has facial nerve paralysis, so that the eyebrows are low and cannot be lifted upward. Some have unilateral upper eyelid ptosis (such as myasthenia), so that one side of the eyebrow appears higher.
3. Boring eyebrows
Those with straight and dry eyebrow endings may have abnormal menstruation if they are women, and more nervous system diseases if they are men. Some children or patients with malnutrition have yellow and withered eyebrows, which is also a sign of lung qi deficiency.
4. Bushy eyebrows
Those with thick eyebrows have strong physique and energy. However, if the eyebrows of women are particularly dark, it may be related to adrenal cortex hyperfunction. Those with thick and short eyebrows are often impatient and irritable. They should be on guard against emergencies.
5. Eyebrows stand up
If the eyebrows are erect, it is a sign of critical condition. Such patients should be treated as soon as possible.
