Popularization of TCM health knowledge: hand diagnosis 2- five fingers diagnosis

Small (slender) hands: deficiency of qi and blood, weakness or low renal function.

Thick and angular fingers are rheumatic joint pain.

From thenar to wrist, there is black or bluish purple: kidney deficiency and low back pain.

Fingertips are as thick as spindles, mainly due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, accompanied by chronic cough and asthma or emphysema and sand lung.

The proportion of each finger is different. Some fingers are small and flat, with messy knuckles and weak physique.

When the five fingers are close together, the finger joints are large, and they are malnourished when they are young.

Blue-black is pain (blood stasis is blue, blood stasis is black for a long time).

Yellow is hot, hot is red, and damp is yellow.

White is cold, cold dominates convergence, cold leads to vein contraction, and blood movement is slow and white, so it is cold.

Fingers are red, and dark red is hyperlipidemia.

Finger belly is white with high triglyceride content.

Many purple spots on fingertips are high in cholesterol.

The stripes under the fingertips are blue-purple to the fingertips, and the black spots are sticky blood.

The thenar and the red spots on the thenar are liver diseases.

Blue hands are mostly bad for the liver.

Black and blue hands are mostly bad for the kidneys.

First, the thumb: (soil) spleen and stomach

Flat and small: disharmony between spleen and stomach, flat and small, not easy to bend, weak spleen and stomach, easy to stroke.

Generally speaking, spleen disease invades the liver, leading to hyperactivity of liver yang, discomfort of liver qi and vigorous liver fire.

Finger abdomen is dry, flat and sunken, and it is easy to constipation, diarrhea and abdominal distension.

Protrusion of finger abdomen: hypersplenism, insufficiency of spleen ascending blood and insufficiency of regulating blood are prone to chronic hemorrhagic diseases.

The metacarpal texture of the proximal phalanx is disordered, the skin is rough, the gastrointestinal and digestive systems are unbalanced, and symptoms such as headache, insomnia and dreaminess appear. It is called insomnia caused by food stagnation in the upper abdomen, and the vertical stripes on the nails are stomach problems.

Treatment: Press the pain point here.

The texture of the proximal phalanx is messy and prone to headache and insomnia. Dirty hands are the biggest headache. The symptoms of the right hand are headache on the right side, the symptoms of the left hand are headache on the left side, the symptoms on the left side are stomach body and fundus, and the symptoms on the right side are pylorus and duodenum. Bending to the radial side is stomach disease, and bending to the ulnar side is spleen disease.

Fingertips are flat, sensitive to things, weak liver and weak constitution. Flat people are prone to madness.

The thumb is too short and too hard to bend yin deficiency, and middle-aged and elderly people are prone to stroke. It is easy to suffer from endocrine diseases after middle age. Observing that the thumb is sunken and the other fingers are normal, it can be judged that there is something wrong with the spleen system. Then observe the spleen and other related reflex areas of the hand, and the diagnosis focuses on the spleen and stomach reflex areas.

The theory of Tibetan image in traditional Chinese medicine holds that the spleen governs muscles and limbs. "Spleen integrates the muscles in the body and governs the limbs". The nutrition of muscle is absorbed from the transportation of spleen. Is the spleen healthy? It is related to the strength of muscles, that is, muscles are full and energetic and have strong transportation functions. Spleen is not healthy, muscles are weak, and even useless.

Second, the index finger (wood) liver and gallbladder

Depression of finger pulp (flat): insufficient blood storage in liver and insufficient liver qi.

Protrusion of finger abdomen: hyperactivity of liver yang, easy to suffer from hypertension, irritability and excitability.

Radial side: liver qi deficiency, liver failure to drain.

Roots bend to the ulnar side: bile reflux, gastritis, can not be angry, can not catch cold.

The middle phalanx is mostly vertical, and the liver and gallbladder are the same disease.

The vertical stripes on the nails are cerebral vascular sclerosis.

Root lines are messy: insomnia and dreaminess, liver depression and gallbladder hyperactivity often cause forehead pain.

Treatment: Massage the liver and gallbladder to treat gallbladder heat such as inflammation and calculus.

Headache is caused by liver disease; The pain in the back of the head is caused by the kidney and bladder.

Too long and too short: adolescent malnutrition and hepatobiliary diseases.

Too thick: it is mainly due to strong liver fire, which is far from the middle finger, mainly due to spleen deficiency and liver hyperactivity.

Pale complexion: insufficient loss due to liver blood stasis.

The index finger is not full, it can't bounce when pressed, and the liver has insufficient blood storage and liver qi. The main muscle of liver controls movement, the liver stores blood and can moisten tendons, which is related to limb movement. The liver is full of qi and blood and the fascia is nourished, so the muscles are strong and the movement is flexible. Deficiency of liver qi and blood and malnutrition of fascia will lead to poor muscle strength, which is not conducive to exercise. There is something wrong with the hepatobiliary system. The corresponding tendon and health care function are poor, which leads to the dysfunction of expansion and contraction, joint muscle pain, unfavorable joint flexion and extension, hand and foot contracture, tendon twitching pain, limb numbness and other symptoms. And the legs will bend.

Third, the middle finger (fire) heart and small intestine.

Finger pulp depression (flat): deficiency of heart qi and myocardial ischemia, leading to brain hypoxia, insufficient blood supply and easy fainting.

Finger bulge: arrhythmia, tachycardia.

Bending to the radial side: insomnia and migraine caused by bradycardia and heart-yin deficiency.

Treatment: Press the cardiac reflex zone for 3-5 minutes, 60-70 times per minute.

The forefinger bends to the middle finger: the liver has insufficient blood storage, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the heart.

Vertical stripes on nails are bad for the heart.

Root curvature to ulnar side: tachycardia, arrhythmia, migraine.

The tip of the middle finger bends radially: heart disease, sexual block, premature beat.

Protrusion of both sides of the middle finger: cardiac hypertrophy, phalangeal protrusion near the radial middle section, ventricular hypertrophy.

Near the ulnar process: atrial hypertrophy.

The middle phalanx is short and the fingerprints are messy. On 1/2, the function of small intestine is poor, and the mouth and tongue are prone to sores. At the lower 1/2, the heart cells are bad.

Depression of middle phalanx: endocrine disorder.

The root bends to the ulnar side: the intestine is not good.

Root and palm texture powder: poor absorption function and indigestion. Root bending, small intestine inflammation.

Too long: easy to suffer from heart and brain diseases, long and thin ones are liver depression and qi stagnation, disharmony between liver and spleen, irritability and depression.

Too short: liver fire is strong and prone to lung and kidney diseases.

Observe that the middle finger is skewed and the texture is scattered, so it is necessary to check the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, with the focus on the cardiac reflex area.

Fourth, the ring finger (golden) lung and large intestine

Finger pulp depression (flat): water and liquid metabolism disorder, night sweats, easy to snore.

Finger bulge: lung dysfunction, easy to be infected, such as asthma.

The ring finger is bent radially: there is something wrong with the respiratory system.

The distal phalanx is radially curved: pneumonia, bronchitis.

Ulnar curvature of middle finger, radial curvature of ring finger, pneumonia, cor pulmonale.

The middle phalanx has scattered texture: it is easy to constipation.

Treatment: Push towards the heart.

Radial flexion of proximal phalanx: colitis, easy constipation and diarrhea.

The root of the ring finger is bent: there is something wrong with the pancreas, which is easy to abdominal distension and diarrhea.

Finger root and palm texture powder: ascending colon and descending colon diseases, rough skin and excess heat in large intestine.

There are vertical stripes on the nails: the left spleen is not good, and the right liver and gallbladder are not good.

Treatment: open the lungs happily.

The ring finger is not straight or the skin is rough, suggesting that there may be problems with the respiratory system. If there is something wrong with the lungs, edema may appear in the lower limbs, and the lungs dominate the metabolism of water and liquid. If veins are found in thenar and thenar, it means that it is a problem of water-liquid metabolism. The problem of lung metabolic function can also cause waist discomfort, because the kidney is the dirty of the main water and the lung is the source of water. Lung belongs to gold, kidney belongs to water, and gold can produce water. Therefore, deficiency of lung yin will lead to deficiency of kidney yin, lung can't communicate and clear up, neglect to regulate the passage of water, involve kidney, and lead to oliguria and even edema.

Method of hand conditioning: adjust the size of thenar. Rub and rub the thenar with your hands relative to the size, exercise the waist with fever as the degree, and also adjust the waist and kidneys.

Five, little finger (water) kidney, bladder meridian

Radial curvature of distal segment, kidney yin deficiency, reproductive system problems, hand and foot fever.

The distal end bends to the ulnar side: kidney yang deficiency, cold hands and feet.

Depression: poor reproductive system function.

Too short: the elderly are prone to heart, spleen and stomach diseases.

Pale complexion: spleen deficiency and kidney deficiency.

Too long: male impotence and premature ejaculation, female sexual dysfunction.

Curvature: The reproductive system develops late or is defective.

Refers to the curvature of the back: prone to urinary system diseases.

Can't close it with other fingers: kidney problems.

There are vertical stripes on the nails. It's kidney is not good.

Morphological abnormality of little finger: key examination of kidney, urinary system and reproductive system.

Attention should be paid to the diagnosis of five fingers: according to the morphology of five fingers, it may be that there is something wrong with the system. Aim at the target, and then carefully check the relevant reflection area, that is, look at the five fingers first, regardless of the reflection area, and then observe the reflection area in detail after the preliminary diagnosis system is determined. If the color and shape of the reflection area are different, it suggests that the types, causes and degrees of diseases are different.
