2. Yellow Lips: Spleen Deficiency and Damp Heat
Associated Symptoms: Loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal distension, bitterness in the mouth, and acne. Yellow lips may be related to liver and spleen damp heat, possibly caused by weak spleen and stomach function and poor liver and gallbladder circulation. Prolonged spleen weakness may lead to poor water and dampness transformation, causing lingering dampness that eventually transforms into heat, leading to symptoms such as yellow complexion, yellow urine, yellowing of the eyes, abdominal distension, and abdominal pain.
Solution: Clear heat and dampness. Consume foods such as carrots, hawthorn, and boiled malt water to aid digestion, along with foods like coix seed porridge, red bean porridge, and mung bean porridge.
