Face Mapping

Face mapping is a theory that your face can provide insight regarding issues on the inside of your body. In practice, this is done by tracking where blemishes and break outs occur, and assigning them to internal bodily functions. By learning what each specific area may relate to, you can then try to treat the internal issue. The result should help to clear up your skin and improve your overall health and well-being. While any immediate medical concerns should be addressed by an appropriate practitioner, this method can help identify minor problems. "Reading" your skin may be the key to pinpointing lifestyle or diet issues, and can also help identify ways to improve the function of your organs. Simply by reading these signs in your skin and understanding their significance can help create a happier, healthier you.
