面頰通紅陰虛作怪
看到BB面珠紅通通覺得很可愛，但如果大人面頰泛紅不退，又有灼熱感，就令人很困擾了。從中醫角度來看，面頰泛紅，多因為體內有熱的象徵，以陰虛者最為常見，這種熱為虛熱，伴隨症狀為午後面部烘熱、皮膚多乾燥、潮熱盜汗、口乾、手腳心胸口煩熱、小便偏黃、大便偏乾甚至便秘等。
春季氣溫變化大，皮膚更容易受到刺激而出現泛紅症狀，以為面紅有熱就跑去胡亂喝涼茶，喝的話也要點到即止，否則弄巧反拙，因為你真正需要的是滋陰，增加身體津液，虛熱才會散去，面頰就不再泛紅。
陰虛體質調理法則
– 飲食宜清淡
– 適量進食滋陰食物如百合、沙參、玉竹、海底椰、花旗參、石斛、雪梨等
– 忌吃辛辣、油膩、偏熱性食物
– 忌熬夜晚睡

Yin deficiency can cause redness in the face
We always find rosy cheeks on children to be cute, but it could be frustrating if there are signs of flushing cheeks on adults. From Chinese medicine perspective, redness in the face is usually a sign of heat in your body, and mostly as a result of yin deficiency. This type of heat is called asthenic heat, accompanying symptoms are heat flushed cheeks in the afternoon, dry skin, night sweats, dry mouth, hot palms, hot chest, yellow urination, dry stool, and even constipation.
There are big temperature fluctuations during spring season, skin will easily be stimulated and show signs of redness, however do not jump to conclusion and assume your body is hot and have a cup of herbal tea. Even if you decided to drink herbal tea, it should be in moderation. What you should do instead is to nourish yin to get rid the heat caused by yin deficiency. Then the redness will naturally subside.
