The correlation between meridians and face diagnosis —two case reports
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between facial diagnosis and the twelve meridians in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for potential clinical diagnostic applications. Using a stationary camera, facial images were captured and compiled into a comprehensive database, along with participants' medical histories obtained through questionnaires. The results indicated that irregular patterns on participants' faces corresponded to specific meridians, revealing potential organ-related conditions. These findings suggest a correlation between facial reflex zones and the twelve meridians, highlighting the diagnostic potential of this method for identifying early signs of clinical conditions.
