The large intestine line follows the cheekbone curving from near the inner eye socket to near the outer lip along the nose. The depth, pouching, forking, and shapes running along this line are all indicators of the tone, transit time and vitality of the organ. The more droop along the cheek/nose line that forms a pouch, as though the tissue is a little bit plump and then it’s hanging over, the more serious the issue.
