SUMMARY: Face holds clues to health issues far below the surface Your face may be telling you more about your health than you think it is. Macrobiotic counselor Francois Roland will lead a lecture on physiognomy, the science of reading health through the face, Saturday, Nov. 2 at the American Red Cross, Wayne County Chapter building. Roland will show how simple skin conditions are belying more serious issues. The face, Roland said, reveals much about vital organs, blood condition and other aspects of health. “The nose, eyes, cheeks and mouth - all these parts link to an internal organ, an internal function,” Roland said. “Physiognomy is not meant to supplant a medical diagnosis, but, if something is changing, it may be time to check it out.” Physiognomy is an ancient practice that has gone by the wayside in favor of more invasive health diagnosis techniques, Roland said. Roland said the changes in the skin are often mistaken for a topical problem, when, in truth, it is often indicative of something much deeper. For example, a red, swollen nose often is symptomatic of heart trouble - it means the heart, too, is swollen and red. Those attending the lecture will walk away with an understanding of physiognomy and can conduct an assessment of their health and that of their loved ones. “It is very simple,” Roland said. “Everybody can look at their face, at their family and see their health.” Keeping an eye on health and re-orienting lifestyle are an important part of macrobiotics. The macrobiotic way of life addresses the negative impacts on the body from the modern way of eating and living, and looks at how to identify foods that are conducive to health and healing, which foods can potentially cause disease, and how to reorient diet and lifestyle. Diet that is aversely affecting health is something that further can be read in the face. Brown freckles, Roland said, are indicative of a high sugar diet. To illustrate examples of health issues that can be uncovered by looking at the face, Roland uses images of famous people prior to their being diagnosed with health issues. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s heart issues were under his nose - a red, large nose - the whole time, Roland said. (Clinton suffered a heart attack in 2004 and underwent a quadruple bypass. Clinton changed his diet in 2010 when the bypass failed). Roland will also discuss how macrobiotics, which is Greek for “Good Health”, can be used to treat symptoms once they are detected. Roland has more than 30 years experience practicing and teaching the macrobiotic way of life. His range of experience includes macrobiotic diet and cooking, dietary counseling and shiatsu massage. The lecture is $15 per person and runs from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. To register, call 216-371-3222 or visit macrocenter@yahoo.com The Red Cross building is located at 244 W. South St., Wooster.
