- Abstract
The human face is unique in its ability to display our emotions, desires and intentions, as well as provide a diagnostic window into our health. Acupuncturists are able to use the face as a diagnostic tool to understand and treat underlying imbalances that may ultimately lead to disease. This article explains the relationship between facial expressions, the physical muscles and tissues, acupuncture points and channels of the face, and the inner world of the human being. Two short case studies are included to illustrate how the information presented can be used in the clinic.
