Chinese Face Reading is based on the Five Elements and Yin and Yang and its lineage goes back to Buddhist and Taoist philosophy. Professional face readers in old China and Japan were often well educated, part shaman, counsellor and astrologer. Chinese doctors used the deep knowledge of the personality and health of their patients afforded them by close observation of the face to aid diagnosis and treatment.

Nowadays it is not uncommon for Hong Kong businesses to hire a Chinese face reader to assess new clients before signing important deals or for New York career women to enlist a face reader's help before moving jobs. Contemporary face reading considers a person's basic constitutional energy, and how this accords to destiny and potential. Present health is diagnosed by looking at the features, and the facial zones for each organ.

The face is a map of your past, present and future. A powerful profile is built up that will tell you about your physical wellbeing, intellectual and emotional attributes, future possible challenges and powers. Face Reading is a neither invasive nor embarrassing diagnostic tool which can also be used for determining your constitution, current health and long term health prospects. The health and function of the internal organs can be seen by looking at the Facial Zones, ears, colours on the face, skin, lines and hair. The underlying causes of digestive problems, hormonal imbalance, back problems, allergies, weight gain and lack of vitality. Face Reading aids weight loss from both physical and emotional angles. A Face Reading can uncover nutritional deficiencies that can be corrected by diet, lifestyle changes and supplements.

In Oriental cultures, the concept that the face represents our fortunes and energies is not new, and it is understood that to lead a balanced life one needs to live in harmony with our unique blend of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. Face Reading is as relevant today as it was in the time of the professional face readers "of old" and a Face Reading consultation can help through times of transition or ill health by giving personality insights, health advice and an understanding of our talents, sources of empowerment in our career, our relationships and our creativity.
