Also known as back diagnosis, it is a diagnosis and treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. Start from the bottom of the neck and divide the back into the lung area, heart area, liver area, spleen area, kidney area, and metabolic reproductive area from top to bottom with the width of the patient's palm as the starting point. The lung area is at the top. If the bladder meridian is pushed with the thumb and redness appears or acne appears on the back, it indicates that the patient has a hot constitution and is a lung yin deficiency syndrome. If the bladder meridian in the heart area is pushed with the thumb and redness appears, it means that the heart fire is strong, and the patient will have acne between the eyebrows and red cheeks.

Uneven pale skin color in the liver indicates reduced detoxification function of the liver and gallbladder, and may lead to dry eyes, hematoma, large eye bags, decreased vision, which are the main manifestations of liver fire; yellowing of the skin in the spleen area indicates disharmony between the spleen and stomach, and may lead to oral ulcers, acne around the mouth, and heat in the stomach and intestines; darkening of the skin in the kidney area and waist is mostly due to insufficient kidney water. Those with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire have cold hands and feet and fear of cold, and those with liver and kidney yin deficiency have hot hands and feet, tinnitus and back pain; depressions in the reproductive area indicate cold uterus.

The term "five internal organs and six bowels" first appeared in "Lüshi Chunqiu Mango Dayu", referring to the five internal organs of the human body, which is a general term. The five internal organs include the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys; the six external organs include the stomach, intestines, sigmoid colon, triple burner, bladder, and gallbladder. The five internal organs and six bowels are professional terms in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine divides human organs into viscera and bowels, and the relevant basic knowledge is the basic theory of "zang-fu". Although the internal organs are inside the human body, their pathological changes can be manifested through specific signs. So, what are the reflex zones of the internal organs on the back? Let us now grasp the relevant professional skills in detail.

Lung area. The reflex zones of the internal organs on the back from top to bottom are lung, heart, liver, spleen, kidney and gynecology. If there are enlarged pores and pigmentation on the face in the lung area, it means that the lung function of the human body is poor, which is easy to cause rhinitis, pharyngitis, sore throat and other throat problems.

Heart area. If the face has enlarged pores, pigmentation, and acne in the heart area, it means that the internal fire is relatively strong. The patient is worried and the quality of sleep is reduced. It is easy to fall asleep, have many dreams, palpitations, and chest tightness when sleeping.

liver. If the liver is obviously bulging, it means that the liver fire is relatively strong, the patient is more depressed, has a bad temper, has symptoms such as yellow face, bitter mouth, bad breath, red eyes, etc., which can easily cause symptoms such as alcoholic liver and fatty liver.

Spleen area. If there is swelling in the spleen area, it indicates symptoms such as stomach cold, bad breath, stomach heat, dark face, irregular menstruation, stomach bloating, and stomach pain. Generally, the bladder meridian is used to identify the disease.

Kidney area. Darkening and pigmentation in the kidney area indicates that the body's kidney qi is insufficient, which can lead to hair loss, memory loss, poor sleep quality, frequent urination at night, menstrual disorders, and being easily frightened.

The original text explains in detail the conditions that may occur in the back reflex zones of the internal organs and the corresponding symptoms. The reflex zones of the internal organs on the back are an important reference for distinguishing various symptoms. You can determine whether you have certain symptoms based on the changes in the back. We can massage the back muscles more often, which can not only relieve muscle tension, but also relax the meridians, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, invigorate the blood, and benefit the health.
