It is not ideal to measure a person's health by looking at his nails. A person must be well nourished before his nails can grow normally, otherwise there will be some abnormal phenomena, which doctors can often use to diagnose important diseases. Here are some abnormal phenomena of nails:
1. Rod-shaped enlargement: the nails are obviously arched upwards and bent around the fingers. Clubbed fingers may mean emphysema, tuberculosis, cardiovascular disease, ulcerative colitis or cirrhosis.
2. Blue crescent: If there is a layer of blue halo on the crescent-shaped white mark at the root of the nail, it means that you may have any of the following diseases: blocked blood circulation, heart disease, Raynaud's sign, vasospasm of fingers and toes, usually due to freezing. But sometimes it is also related to rheumatoid arthritis or autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus.
3. Spoon nails: the middle of the nails sinks, and the whole nails become flat or spoon-shaped. This kind of nail is related to iron deficiency anemia, syphilis, thyroid disease, rheumatic fever and so on.
4. Lindsay's nails: half of the nails near the tip of the nails are pink or brown, and half of the nails near the nail shape are white. This kind of nail is also called two nails, which may be a sign of chronic renal failure.
5. Bo's line: the horizontal groove on the nail indicates malnutrition or some serious disease that will temporarily affect the growth of the nail, such as measles, costalitis, heart disease, etc.

9. Irregular pits: Many patients with psoriasis have this phenomenon.
10. Rows of pits: The nail surface becomes the bronze surface hammered out by the coppersmith, sometimes because of tufting baldness. This is an immune disease that is not well understood by the medical community, which will lead to partial or total hair loss.

There are usually two situations when there are vertical stripes on nails:
The nail crest deck is thin and brittle, with longitudinal ridges, and the distal end is often broken and diverted due to malnutrition. It can also be seen in patients with diseases such as lichen planus and alopecia areata.
The longitudinal sulcus of nail is generally the longitudinal ridge in the center of deck, and the ridge top is shallow, or it can be a significant sulcus without ridge. It is often caused by the damage of nail matrix and can also be seen in patients with lichen planus and other diseases, which is the expression of allergic reaction.
The mystery of nailing the half moon mark:
(1) What is a half-moon mark?
There are white arc marks under the fifth nail. This is the half moon mark, also called it.

Traces will be blurred, reduced or even disappeared.
The condition of half moon mark shows the information of human health.
(B) the role of the half-moon sign
Chinese medicine theory:
Qi consumption is attributed to liver as blood, blood consumption to kidney as essence, and essence consumption to bone as marrow.
This is the origin of essence. Essence is also the source of vitality. Because the information displayed in the half moon mark is the essence.
Situation, its importance can be seen.
The function of vitality:
1, nourishing the internal organs of the whole body.
2. Promote the normal operation of qi and blood in internal organs.
3. Resist foreign pathogens (immune function).
4. Longevity and anti-aging substances.
5. Genetic material.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: essence is strong and essence is weak, causing disease, essence is young and essence is exhausted.
This shows that the essence of vitality is important. In daily life, it is beneficial to restore vitality in time and maintain good health.
For our health. When energy is insufficient, protein is the first important supplement.
Chinese medicine theory: "essence is not enough to make up the taste."
That is to say, to supplement protein. High quality protein should be neutral, such as milk, eggs, beans, fish,
Black food (tonifying kidney in case of dark), seed food, embryo food, etc. Stick to it for a month and you will see it.
The appearance of the half moon mark shows that the energy has been restored to a certain extent.
(3) Normal half moon mark
1, quantity
The number of half moon marks on both hands should be 8- 10.
2. Form
The area of the half-moon mark accounts for one-fifth of the nail.

③ Staggered type of cold and heat-the place where the boundary of half moon mark is blurred and the color gradually approaches the color of nail body belongs to the intersection of cold and heat.
No, it's still yin and yang imbalance.
Early stage: the edge of the half moon mark begins to be unclear, such as shining.
Mid-term: the half-moon mark begins to shrink.
Late stage: the half-moon mark gradually decreases and disappears.
3. Half-moon sign area
(1) The half-moon mark is less than one-fifth of the nail area, indicating that the energy is insufficient and the gastrointestinal absorption is not good.
If the semilunar scar suddenly darkens, shrinks and disappears, it often suffers from wasting diseases, tumors, bleeding and so on.
There is no half moon mark before the child develops.
Adults have too much nightlife and sex life, and the half-moon mark will disappear and it is difficult to grow.

⑤ Black-more common in severe heart disease, tumor or heavy metal poisoning caused by drugs and long-term medication.
(5) the relationship between half moon mark and five fingers

5, the little finger half moon mark-Guanlianxin kidney
It is generally difficult to grow a half-moon mark on the little finger, and most of them have a fever when they appear. When it is red, it is prone to serious heart disease.
As long as you pay attention, you will find that some people have a white half moon under their nails, while others don't. What's this called? Is some good or not? Unfortunately, many people pay little attention to this important signal that affects the body.
First, what is the half moon mark?
1. 1/5 There is a white half moon under the fingernail, which is called the half moon mark, and some people call it just a small sun.
2.a is the intersection of Yin Meridian and Yang Meridian, and the nail bed is rich in blood vessels and nerve endings, which is the window to observe the changes of human qi and blood. The Emperor's Internal Classic; "Yin and Yang communicate with Thailand, and qi is the foundation of the twelve meridians". Therefore, the nail half-moon mark, also known as the health circle, is the representative of human nature. The formation of half-moon scar is deeply influenced by nutrition, environment and physical quality. When the digestion and absorption function is poor, the half-moon scar will be blurred, reduced or even disappeared. Therefore, the half-moon mark can reflect the state of good and evil in human body and infer the quality and prognosis of the disease.
Two. The function of half-moon sign
The essence of traditional Chinese medicine is the basic substance that constitutes the human body. Essence comes from innate endowment and acquired diet nutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gas consumption is attributed to liver as blood, blood consumption to kidney as essence, and essence consumption to bone as marrow.
Half moon mark is the window of human nature. The change of the half-moon logo, like the oil gauge on the car, will praise the human body; When the oil is full, when the oil is exhausted, when there is no oil; You can also tell the human body what kind of "oil" to add. Therefore, essence is an advanced energy substance with life information in human body. It is the root of metaplasia and vitality, and what role does vitality have;
1. Take care of your internal organs.
2. Promote the normal transportation of qi and blood in viscera.
3. Resist foreign pathogens (immune function).
4. Longevity and anti-aging substances.
5. Genetic material-essence.
Sufficient essence, normal growth and reproductive function, full of energy, strong physical strength and strong immunity; On the contrary, the essence is weak, the growth and development are poor or the body is aging, and the body's immunity is reduced. Therefore, the half-moon mark is the expression of human energy and the window to observe health.
"The essence is not enough to make up for the taste." Energy should be supplemented by high-quality neutral protein, such as milk, eggs, beans, fish and black food, seed food and embryo food. As long as the nutrition is guaranteed and maintained, a nail will generally grow for a month and a half. Generally, the thumb will grow first, and the index finger, middle finger and little finger will grow in turn after half a year. If you stay up late for a long time, the nightlife excesses will soon disappear. So-called; "Thin feet make people strong (half-moon marks), thin people are sick (half-moon marks change color), thin people are old (half-moon marks are few), and thin people die." Therefore, people who don't have half-moon marks need to replenish their bodies quickly even if they are sick when they are beheaded. Especially when there is only a half-moon mark on your thumb, your body is telling you that you have used "base oil" and need to supplement high-quality neutral protein and "oil" as soon as possible.
