Chapped and/or dry lips usually denote lack of water intake in the body. Water is needed to help the moisture of our bodies, including and especially the lips.
 The body speaks through metaphor and this greatly evidenced in the facial area. The face can tell us so many things.
Pertaining to the lips, the top lip has nerve endings that connect to the upper and lower stomach, so problems of the top lip may denote problems in the stomach area.
The bottom lip has nerve endings that connect to the intestines. Problems of the lower lip may denote intestinal problems or complaints and which may be remedied [healed] by dietary modification (vegan diet, consumption of more raw foods) and proper colon care, i.e. colonics and colon cleansing, i.e. Dherbs.com Full Body Detox and/or 10-Day Supreme Colon Cleanser, performed periodically (every 3-6 months). Daily maintenance formulas from Dherbs.com that help maintain the intestines include Bowel Mover (capsules and tea), Colon Formula, Intestinal Janitor, and Cough Extract.
The corners of the mouth correspond to the duodenum, which is the exit of the stomach and is connected to the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Complaints of the pancreas can be remedied by dietary change (same as above) and by performing the Full Body Detox and Pancreas Cleanse and Regimen, performed periodically. Daily maintenance formulas for the pancreas include Dherbs.com Pancreas Formula, Pancreas Auxiliary Formula, and Sugar Buster (capsules and Sugar Buster Tea).
The liver and gallbladder can be remedied by dietary change (same as above) and by performing the Full Body Detox and the 10 Day Supreme Liver Cleanse. Daily maintenance formulas for the liver and gallbladder include the Liver and Gallbladder Formula, Liver-Gallbladder-Spleen Tea, Blood & Lymphatic Formula, Liver Extract, and Oz Oil (1 teaspoon internally every other day).
If you have dark spots on the lips denote possible ulceration and stagnation of blood in the digestive system. This problem can be reversed or healed by focusing on cleansing the gastro-intestinal tract. Dherbs.com products that can help with the maintenance of the digestive tract include 10-Day Electric Greens Cell Food Cleanse, performed periodically; and Carminative Tea.
Constant appearance of sores on the lips may also denote ulceration and stagnation of blood. To remedy, the above applies.
When the lips are whitish in color this may denote that the blood in the intestinal region is compromised or weak, and also may denote poor absorption.
Tightness in the mouth area may denote that the intestines are tight (and in females, that the vagina is also tight).
Clearly, lip problems, all lip problems, denote gastro-intestinal problems and the remedy lies in addressing the organs of the gastro-intestinal tract in addition to modifying your daily diet. It is best to cut out all meat and dairy products from the diet. Drink plenty of water (alkaline water is best).
Refrain from using 'ChapStick' for chapped lips. 'ChapStick' contains petrolatum as a skin protectant and petrolatum (petroleum product) suffocates the skin of the lips; prevents the lips from breathing. Yes, the skin on your body breathes, whether you know it or not.
'ChapStick' uses some very harmful ingredients that enter into your bloodstream via your lips.
The so-called inactive ingredients of 'ChapStick include':
"arachidyl propionate, cetyl alcohol, cocoa butter, fragrance, isopropyl lanolate, isopropyl myristate, lanolin, light mineral oil, methylparaben, octyldodecanol, oleyl alcohol, phenyl methicone, propylparaben, waxes."
 Many of these ingredients supra are derived from petroleum. Lanolin and mineral both have no business on any part of your body. They suffocate the skin. So does 'Vaseline.' Never use 'Vaseline' on your body. It's a bona fide skin killer for sure! 'Vaseline' too is petroleum and petroleum has no business on the human body.
There are healthier brands of lip balm available nowadays which you can find at good health foods stores such as Whole Foods Market, Nature Mart [Los Angeles, CA], New Frontiers [Arizona], and Natural Grocers [Northern California].
Shea butter is perhaps the best substance you can apply to your lips to help prevent them from chapping and to stay moist. Shea butter will also nourish the lips.
Coconut oil and olive oil are also great for the lips. You may have to constantly apply these oils at first, but over time you'll notice how moist your lips become from their use.
For the lipstick-wearing ladies, look for healthier brands of lipsticks because chances are the lipstick you are currently using (wearing) contains a bunch of toxic crap.
You will find healthier brands of lipsticks at good health food stores and companies dedicated to healthy products such as Neways - visit www.newaysonline.com
You can find numerous healthy product names and brands in Dherbs.com Alternative Diet and Lifestyle Manual e-book.
