AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON THIN LIPS

Thin lips are constitutionally natural for Vata. Since light Vata constitutions tend to have thin skin, they often frequently have thin lips. However, thin lips may also be a sign of deficient ojas (nourishment), especially if your constitution is Pitta or Kapha. Cold, poor circulation, and dehydration may also impact your lips.

If your lips are chronically chapped, this may indicate a fungal infection at the corners of your lips. This is called Angular Chelitis. A foot or other fungal infection may cause the lips to become chapped as the infection disrupts the body's normal upward circulation. A fungal infection of the feet creates a heat condition in the leg, causing blood vessels in the leg to dilate, and dryness in the upper body.
