Facial diagnosis of prenatal constitution.

According to TCM, various facial attributes can indicate a strong postnatal constitution (derived from your genetics, the circumstances of your conception etc). These include:

• a broad forehead and glabella (the third eye)

• long and wide nose

• full cheeks

• strong lower jaw

• long ears with long lobes

• well-proportioned eyes, nose, ears and mouth

• long philtrum (the raised space between your nose & lips)

• normal complexion with lustre

• firm muscles and skin

When a person with a strong constitution falls ills, it is easier to treat. However, one can bolster their prenatal constitution with a vibrant, nourishing and individualised lifestyle; contributing to a strong postnatal constitution. Think; movement, joy, expansion, nourishment and relaxation.
