Your face is a lot of things—something you’re born with, something you make up, something you bare, something you curse at a certain time of month when zits spring up…the list goes on. A map probably isn’t on that list—but maybe it should be. Face mapping, for the unschooled, is an ancient practice rooted in Ayurveda teaching and Chinese medicine that treats your face as a roadmap to pinpoint underlying issues in other parts of your body. Say, for example, that pesky breakout in the middle of your forehead. Face mapping connects that specific area of your face to an organ or body part, which allows you to make the necessary changes to your diet or lifestyle to make it go away. Intrigued? We were too, which is why we consulted Dr. Dan Hsu, an NYC doctor who specializes in Eastern medicine.
