#1 Bright Red

Red is good but when it's too strong, it suggests that your body your liver and spleen are not working well. You might crave for food a lot and it would also lead to bad breath. In order to curb the problem, start eating bitter food like chrysanthemum tea, bitter melon, and celery. Are you not sleeping on time? Enroll yourself in stress releasing activities and sleep on time in order for your body to heal.

#2 Purple or green tint

when it's winter, it is common that people get this shade because of excessive cold but in case, the shade stays longer and not just only in winter, you must visit a doctor for a checkup as it suggests that you could be having a heart problem or respiratory diseases.

Try avoiding foods that are either very yang or very yin. Instead choose foods that are neutral such as rice, potato, carrot, almonds, fish, and apricots.

#3 Rosy Pink

Well, your health is perfect and your lips look good, matey!

#4 Dark red to black

Smoking alert! And if you are a non smoker it still means your digestive system is overworked and does not function properly. To improve your digestive system, have food items which are rich in fiber and keep drinking lots of warm water. You are having either too much processed food or junk food. Stay away from it.

Avoid processed and junk food until your digestion finds its balance again. Introduce fiber rich vegetables, pickled vegetables, and fruit to aid digestion.

#5 Dark red or purple line

Your body might not be in right balance and it might be sometimes cold, sometime hot. If you avoid spicy and processed food and have neutral food like rice, carrot, almonds, fish etc you will be able to curb the problem.

#6 Pale pink, white, or grey

Ask your doctor to do a blood test for anemia. Fortify your blood with iron rich foods such as red meat, green vegetables, and Chinese red dates.

If your lips are very pale it is a sign that your body has too much cold or "yin" energy, which also leads to a noticeable sluggish digestion, and cold hands and feet. Warm up your system by eating warming foods, such as pork, lamb, pumpkin, mussels, and raspberries.
