那麽,中醫有沒有類似的說法呢?
有,叫“山根橫紋”
http://paper.people.com.cn/rmrbhwb/html/2019-09/06/content_1945173.htm
“中醫望診對於早期診斷心髒病有極大優勢。中醫認為,心與小腸、脈、麵、舌等構成了心係統,而不單單隻是指心髒的髒器官。可以觀察鼻根部位,按麵部全息來看,兩眼之間的山根部位對應著心髒。因此,如果山根處有橫紋,多意味著心腦血管有問題,其病狀多顯示為有血脂高、動脈硬化、冠心病的潛在可能。”
多餘的話:
大千世界、紜紜眾生,一個人的經曆、學識有限,不可能啥都知道。
但是,在動腦子遐想、信口開河 之前,能不能花點時間查一下,補充一下自己的知識庫,免得貽笑大方。
