uklad tcm is different in tcm well in my case any ways i need to lower my heat and that can only be done with chinese herbs. All the symptoms she said i have i really do have and i did not lead her on. The spleen i coneted to my lips and i have low liver "qi" as well. As for why it started when i was 16 is b/c my male hormones put off balance my cold are (Yin) and its not level with my hot area ( yang). b/c the male hormones put up my yang hot area and in turn they go up and mess up my lips. Its all bout an imbalance not a toxin in the body.
