How to measure health with nails
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. Enlargement of clubbed nails may indicate emphysema,
, cardiovascular diseases,
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, fingers and toes.

There are usually two situations when there are vertical stripes on nails:

Abnormal nails and major diseases
A normal person's fingernail is half of the third phalanx of a finger. It is not wide or narrow, elastic, not easy to break, and has a certain hardness. Its edge is parallel to the pulp, reddish and shiny, without spots and protrusions.
If the nail is less than half of the third phalanx, it is mostly weak and emaciated, and the digestive system is dysfunctional, but it has strong disease resistance. People with soft nails have poor energy, are prone to fatigue, like to sleep, have poor disease resistance and are often listless. People with hard and brittle nails often suffer from anemia and loss of appetite. On the nails.

The light arc circle at the root of the nail is called the half-moon arc, commonly known as the healthy circle. Is the normal health circle about the area of nails? -1/5, no shadow. The width and size of the health circle vary from person to person and from race to race. usually
The circle is about 3 mm, slightly smaller for women, and the widths of index finger, middle finger and ring finger decrease in turn.
It's not just no. Old people are narrow-minded, and malnourished people often disappear. The change of health circle can best show the nutritional status of the body and is a lamp to indicate the nutritional status of the human body.

When nails turn gray, they are suffering from onychomycosis. At first, it was itchy next to the nails, and then the nails were deformed, tarnished and grayish white. Blue nails with small red thorns are caused by lack of oxygen, indicating that the heart and lungs have glassy nails, half red and half white (commonly known as yin and yang nails), which is a bad renal function.

Nails are pink, shiny, moderate in thickness and hardness, not easy to break and smooth in surface. A healthy circle (half moon at the bottom of the nail) accounts for one-fifth of the length of the nail (preferably all five nails) is a sign of health.

You can see health from your nails, right? What do healthy nails look like?
Nails are also called nails.
The fingertip in front and the subcutaneous tissue in the back are called nail roots. The tissue under the nail root is called nail mother, which is where nails grow. The skin around the deck is called the armor profile, and the semi-circular light-colored area in front of the armor profile is half moon, which can be regarded as a sign of health. Normal baby's nails are pink, very smooth and resilient, and the color of half moon is slightly lighter.
Judging whether a baby's nails are healthy depends on its surface shape, color, texture, thickness and nail bed relationship.
Abnormal color
There are white spots on the deck of white nails and babies, which is called' lucky point' by superstition and' spotted white nails' by medicine; If white lines or spots appear, or even the whole nail turns white, they are called linear white nails, partial white nails and full white nails respectively. In fact, punctate white nails and linear white nails are more common in normal children, or temporary injuries.
Yellow nails turn yellow all over the nails, mainly because of eating carotene food.
Yellow nails can also appear, but most of them are accompanied by changes in nail morphology. There is also a kind of yellow nail syndrome, which is
It is familial and often accompanied by edema of the face and limbs.
Others such as green nails and black nails are relatively rare.
If the baby's half-month color is abnormal, it is mostly heart disease when it is red, and it is reddish when it is anemia.

When the armor is hard, the deck thickens to the fingertips, which can be caused by congenital reasons or long-term stimulation.

Principles of nail diagnosis
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that claws are not only tendons, but also symptoms outside the liver and gallbladder. The liver stores blood, which governs the drainage. Therefore, Wang Jia can measure the ups and downs of qi and blood and its circulation in the internal organs.
The nail bed under the deck covers the surrounding capillaries.
. By observing the morphological changes and blood flow state of capillary in nail bed, we can get the blood circulation of the body. According to modern times
Theoretically, the changes of tiny blood vessels on nails can diagnose the heart,
.
People's nails can reflect information about health or disease. Our ancestors found in long-term in-depth and meticulous observation and repeated verification that the diseases reflected by fingernails of both hands have similarities, differences and certain rules. Generally speaking, thumb nails mostly reflect head and neck lesions; Nails are reflected under the head.
The above lesions (including upper lesions, chest, heart, lungs, etc.). ); Middle finger nail reaction
Injury from below to navel (
Liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach, etc. ); Anonymous nail reflects lesions (lower coke, kidney, bladder, intestine, etc.). ) Umbilical to the second yin area;
Nails reflect lesions below the second yin and lower limbs (second yin, lower limbs, etc. ). nails represent the view of the whole body, and some people call them nail embryos ("
Like "). When shaking hands, the body parts represented by five fingernails add up, just like an embryonic baby.
Besides different nails representing different body parts and organs, people also find that different parts of each nail also reflect the situation of different parts of the human body. Each nail is divided into five areas, representing different parts of the body. Limited to space, I won't elaborate here.
Nail diagnosis method
Candidates should wash their nails, and those with nails should be stained. Under the natural light, make the examinee reach out naturally, palm down and lie flat on the table. Inspectors carefully check the deck, half-moon arc, nail bed, nail fold, etc. And pay attention to the changes of nail color, thickness, unevenness, patches, lines and other shapes.
Deck: Pay attention to its transparency, color, luster, size, thickness, flatness, unevenness, softness, hardness, brittleness, smoothness or rough texture.
Half Moon Arc: Observe its size and color.
Nail bed: refers to pressing the deck to check the shape of nail bed through the nail layer.
, petechiae, color and collaterals
State.
Nailfold: Pay attention to its shape, color, dynamic collaterals, whether the combination with the deck is regular and whether there are defects.
Nail color discrimination
White: the nail bed is pale, suggesting that there is insufficient blood. White moist is mild, white withered is dull and rough, and it is seriously ill. In anemia, malnutrition, liver cirrhosis,
, nail biting, Raynaud's disease, pulseless disease, etc. Part of leukonychia can be seen in tuberculosis, nephritis and lymph.
Cancer. Spotted white nails (one or several white spots or white clouds or white sheep of different sizes appear on the deck), which can be seen.
, malnutrition, zinc deficiency, syphilis, etc.
Red: The nail bed is red, indicating qi.
Syndrome: ruddy person is slightly ill, and red and withered person is seriously ill. Bleeding of nail bed also belongs to red nails. If there is a spindle-shaped protrusion on the free edge of the nail to form longitudinal linear bleeding, it can be seen in

, subacute
Wait a minute.
Yellow: the color of nail bed is yellow, suggesting damp-heat fumigation. Huang Liang suggested that the illness was mild and the course of disease was short. Dark yellow indicates a serious illness and a long course of disease. Yellow nail can be seen in hepatobiliary diseases,

Chronic adrenal insufficiency, nephrotic syndrome, carotene anemia, etc.
Cyan: blue nail bed, indicating cold syndrome,
