Facial Features - Update 2006
When Appearance and Circumstance was published in 2003 we categorized 80 features. In Homœopathic Facial Analysis we focus on slightly less features - for those who make a close comparison of the differences, the following are our findings. In some cases we have changed the terminology, in others we have dropped the feature due to its rarity or lack of definition.
Change of Miasm
|
Teeth - front two crossed over |
Mistakenly allocated as a yellow feature in 2003. Now classified as blue and not yellow. |
New Names

Current Status |
|
Hair - crowded in or squeezed at temples |
Now known as crowded hairline - where the hair crowds in at the side of the hairline near the temples - not literally squeezed in temples. Often seen with a low hairline although not always |

Eyes - focus off centre |
Difficult to define so we dropped this feature in 2006 but have reinstated it in 2013. See online practitioner facial analysis software for inclusion - one red point |
|

|
Eyes - almond |

|
Nose - ski-jump |
Difficult to define so we have dropped this feature |
|
Nose - snubbed |

|
Nose - saddle |
Difficult to define so we have dropped this feature. It was originally intended as in indented shape in the bone structure - rarely seen but has been misunderstood as a skin pattern. |
|
Teeth - square |
Almost always seen in conjunction with even teeth so one red feature is given for even. The square shape has been dropped to avoid doubling up. |
|
Face - flat |
Too difficult to define so we have dropped this feature - it is easier to analyse each part separately |
|
Jaw - square |
Too difficult to define so we have dropped this feature |
|
Skin - dry |
Dryness is a sensation rather than a look - if the skin is yellow it will be seen in the lines. Persons of all miasms can have dry skin. |
|
Skin - flushed |
The colour of the skin varies due to racial background and state of health. We have dropped this feature. |
|
Skin - excessive hair growth |
Too difficult to determine due to cosmetic practices. This feature can also be related to the state of health. We have dropped this feature. |
|
Skin - moles |
Use this as confirmatory feature only (red) but not as part of the analysis |
|
Eyebrows |
Too difficult to define so we have dropped this feature |
|
White of sclera |
Too difficult to define so we have dropped this feature |
