《难经》说：肝脏的外在证候表现为面色发青，喜欢清洁，容易发怒。
因五运六气导致的面部如蒙尘垢有两种情况：一是燥金克制肝木。医经记载：当阳明燥金司天之年，燥气过盛，百姓易患咽喉干燥、面部如蒙尘垢的病。又说：当阳明燥金在泉之年，燥气过盛，病症为咽喉干燥、面部如蒙尘垢。又说：当金气郁结而发作时，也会出现咽喉干燥、面部如蒙尘垢的症状。此时适宜用润湿的药物来治疗。二是火邪所致。医经记载：当少阳相火复气来时，厥逆之气向上冲行，面色如同浮尘，眼睛干涩不适，此时适宜用寒凉的药物来治疗。针灸治疗面部如蒙尘垢，都选取肝经和胆经的穴位。医经记载：足厥阴肝经发生病变，严重时会出现咽喉干燥、面部如蒙尘垢、面色脱失光泽。又说：足少阳胆经发生病变，严重时会出现面色微现尘垢。治疗时都要根据脉象的盛实或虚弱、热证或寒证、以及经脉下陷等情况来选取穴位。
《难经》说：心脏的外在证候表现为面色发红，口干，喜欢笑。李东垣说：面色发红是因为邪气郁滞在经络中，适宜用解表法而不适宜用攻下法。张仲景说：如果腹泻且脉象沉而迟缓，病人面色发红，身体有轻微发热，排出未消化的食物，这一定是阳气郁闭，通过头昏冒汗出而痊愈。这种面色发红也是通过解表法来治愈的。因运气因素导致的面色发红都属于寒证。医经记载：当太阳寒水司天之年，寒气过盛，百姓易患面色发红、眼睛发黄。此时适宜用温热的药物来治疗。针灸治疗面色发红，都选取心包经（手厥阴心包经）的穴位。医经记载：手厥阴心包经发生病变，则会出现面色发红、眼睛发黄。治疗时都要根据脉象的盛实或虚弱、热证或寒证、以及经脉下陷等情况来选取穴位。治疗面色发红，取用好柏树皮锉碎四两，用人乳浸泡拌匀，在阳光下晒干，再浸泡拌匀，如此重复六七次为佳，然后研成细末。临睡前用清茶或汤剂调服二钱，有奇效。
《难经》说：脾脏的外在证候表现为面色发黄，喜欢打嗝，多思虑，味觉敏感。《素问》说：足阳明胃经气血终绝时，口眼抽动，容易惊恐胡言乱语，面色发黄。治疗方法参见黄疸门。
《难经》说：肺脏的外在证候表现为面色苍白，喜欢打喷嚏，悲伤忧愁不快乐，想哭。血虚耗脱的人，面色苍白枯槁无光泽，脉象空虚。肺病导致面色苍白且不悦，则是脱气、脱血、脱津、脱液、脱精、脱神的表现。由巴戟丸主治。脉象紧的，是寒证。或者面色苍白喜欢打喷嚏，或者面色晦暗难看，都是寒证。用羌活、防风、甘草、藁本四味药，以泻足太阳膀胱经之邪，稍加附子以通其脉。如果面色晦暗难看且伴有悲伤恐惧，再加肉桂、附子。足太阳膀胱经气血终绝时，眼球上翻，角弓反张，抽搐，面色苍白，绝汗出。足少阳胆经气血终绝时，耳聋，全身关节松弛无力，目系断绝，面色青白。
The *Nan Jing* (Classic of Difficult Issues) states: The external manifestations of Liver disorders include a greenish complexion, a preference for cleanliness, and irritability.
There are two types of "dusty" complexion caused by the influence of Five Movements and Six Qi: First, Dryness Metal restraining Liver Wood. The classics state: When Yangming Dryness Metal governs the year, excessive Dryness leads to people suffering from dry throat and a dusty complexion. It also states: When Yangming Dryness Metal is in the lower position, excessive Dryness causes dry throat and a dusty complexion. Furthermore, when Metal Qi stagnates and erupts, symptoms include dry throat and a dusty complexion. In such cases, treatment should employ moistening agents. Second, Fire pathogen. The classics state: When Shaoyang Ministerial Fire returns as a counter-attack, Jueyin Qi ascends upward, resulting in a face appearing like floating dust and dry eyes; treatment should employ cold agents. For acupuncture treatment of a dusty complexion, points from both the Liver and Gallbladder meridians are selected. The classics state: When the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian is affected, severe cases present with dry throat, a dusty complexion, and loss of luster. It also states: When the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian is affected, severe cases present with a slightly dusty appearance. Treatment involves selecting points based on excess or deficiency, heat or cold, and sinking conditions.
The *Nan Jing* states: The external manifestations of Heart disorders include a red complexion, dry mouth, and a tendency to laugh. Li Dongyuan stated: A red complexion indicates pathogenic factors stagnating in the meridians; it is suitable for releasing the exterior rather than purging the interior. Zhang Zhongjing stated: If there is diarrhea with a deep and slow pulse, the patient has a red face, slight body heat, and passes undigested food; this indicates yang qi stagnation, which will resolve through sweating accompanied by dizziness. This type of red complexion is also resolved by releasing the exterior. Complexions turning red due to climatic influences all belong to cold patterns. The classics state: When Taiyang Cold Water governs the year, excessive Cold leads to people suffering from a red face and yellow eyes. Treatment should employ hot agents. For acupuncture treatment of a red complexion, points from the Pericardium (Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian) are selected. The classics state: When the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is affected, symptoms include a red face and yellow eyes. Treatment involves selecting points based on excess or deficiency, heat or cold, and sinking conditions. To treat a red complexion, take four liang of finely chopped good cypress bark (*Cupressi Lignum*), soak and mix it with human milk, dry it in the sun, then soak and mix again. Repeat this process six or seven times. Then grind it into fine powder. Take two qian before bed, mixed with clear tea water or decoction; this yields remarkable effects.
The *Nan Jing* states: The external manifestations of Spleen disorders include a yellow complexion, frequent belching, excessive thinking, and heightened taste sensitivity. The *Su Wen* (Basic Questions) states: When the Foot-Yangming Stomach Meridian's qi terminates, there are convulsions of the mouth and eyes, fright, delirious speech, and a yellow color. See the Jaundice section for treatment methods.
The *Nan Jing* states: The external manifestations of Lung disorders include a pale complexion, frequent sneezing, sadness, sorrow, unhappiness, and a desire to cry. In cases of blood depletion, the complexion is pale and lifeless without luster, and the pulse is empty. A pale and unhappy complexion in lung disease indicates depletion of Qi, Blood, Jin-Ye (Body Fluids), Essence, and Spirit. Ba Ji Wan (Morinda Pill) is the primary prescription. A tight pulse indicates cold. Alternatively, a pale complexion with frequent sneezing, or a sallow/dull complexion, all indicate cold. Use Qiang Huo (*Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix*), Fang Feng (*Saposhnikoviae Radix*), Gan Cao (*Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma*), and Gao Ben (*Ligustici Rhizoma et Radix*) to drain the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, adding a small amount of Fu Zi (*Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata*) to unblock the pulse. If the complexion is dull with feelings of sadness and fear, add Gui Zhi (*Cinnamomi Ramulus*) and Fu Zi (*Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata*). When the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian's qi terminates, there is retroversion of the eyeballs, opisthotonos, spasms, a white complexion, and cold sweat. When the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian's qi terminates, there is deafness, flaccidity of all joints, severance of the visual axis, and a blue-white complexion.
