"The crescent moon is a barometer of whether the human body is full of energy and whether the viscera are healthy." Fengjun Qi told reporters that Chinese medicine believes that "the liver dominates the ribs, and the qi is in the claws". People's five fingers correspond to the five internal organs, and we can know whether the qi and blood of each organ are full by observing the nails.
The new moon can be "lost" or "grown back"
Fengjun Qi said that according to the principle of hand diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, normal nails should be ruddy, smooth and shiny, tough and curved, and the crescent on the nail cover should be clear. The crescent moon is generally 1-2 mm, which is about one-fifth of the nail. It is not good to be too big or too small. "A crescent moon cannot be born due to lack of qi and blood, and a crescent moon will become bigger due to overwork." Because it takes about half a year for a complete nail to grow, you can get a general understanding of the health of the human body in the past six months by looking at the nail.
"Generally speaking, when the body is sick or the blood drops, the blood circulation is not good, and it is in a state of fatigue for a long time, the crescent moon will change or even disappear. When the body is recuperated, the crescent moon will grow back. " Fengjun Qi said that if there is no crescent moon, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are ill, but it should be noted that this is already a warning that your body is in a sub-health state.
Beware of stomach ulcers with pits on the nails.
"I met an old gentleman when I was in a class at the University for the Aged. He said there was a white spot between his index finger nails. I don't know what happened. I asked him if he had stomach cramps three months ago. He was surprised and asked me how I knew. The reason is simple, because only acute diseases and serious illnesses will leave traces on the nails. " Fengjun Qi revealed that the thumb governs the lung, the index finger governs the spleen and stomach, the middle finger governs the heart, the ring finger governs the liver and the little finger governs the kidney, and there are abnormalities on the corresponding nails, which may be caused by the dysfunction of the corresponding viscera. Fengjun Qi revealed several skills of reading the secrets of nail health:
White spot: it mostly reflects the insufficiency of blood supply to the heart;
Black spots: mostly lack of oxygen in the body;
Black line: indicates blood stasis in the liver and heart;
Vertical bar: It means that the liver qi is strong, indicating that your body is in a state of fatigue recently, and your constitution is weak, and your immunity is also reduced. People who often stay up late and lose their vitality are prone to vertical stripes on their nails, and some young people are caused by colds and pneumonia.
Broadband cable: there may be cirrhosis or fatty liver;
Pit point: weak qi and blood, ulcer on organs, of which gastric ulcer is the most common;
Long barb: liver blood deficiency, people feel tired easily.
The disappearance of the new moon reminds us to have a rest.
Zhu, director of the dermatology department of Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Professor Pi Xianming, director of the dermatology department of Hubei Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, both believe that the physical condition can be understood through the crescent of nails and the depth of wrinkles on the surface.
"The viscera is sick, first manifested in the skin." Zhu pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that "the liver stores blood and dominates the nail". When qi and blood are insufficient, the nail will be deformed, the white spot will disappear and the crescent moon will disappear; After the body is full of qi and blood, the crescent moon will grow out. Lung function is not good, nails will be spoon-shaped. "The disappearance of the crescent moon is a sign of sub-health, reminding us that we need to have a good rest."
Pi Xianming revealed that the nail surface has become rough and dull, with obvious longitudinal stripes, which feel like a gully, indicating that the body has been in a state of fatigue recently, leading to problems such as physical weakness, continuous mental fatigue and decreased immunity. People who often stay up late and lose their vitality are prone to vertical lines on their nails.
It is normal for children not to have a crescent moon.
It stands to reason that all ten fingers should have crescent moons, but in real life, there are very few people with ten crescent moons in their hands. Even fewer people have crescent-shaped nails. Fengjun Qi explained that this is because modern people are in a state of chronic fatigue for a long time, and their nightlife is rich, which will consume too much kidney qi, leading to the disappearance of the crescent moon and making it difficult to grow again.
"Most children have only two thumbs with crescent moons on their fingernails; There are relatively many crescent moons in the elderly, but they are all relatively large. " Fengjun Qi said that children's intake of nutrients is mainly used to meet the needs of rapid growth and development. Therefore, the body is weak in qi and blood, and it is difficult to grow a crescent on the nails. There is no need to panic. When the child is older, the crescent moon will grow naturally. The physical function of the elderly is in a stable state, but most of them are weak and qi-deficient, so the crescent moon will be larger.
Fengjun Qi reminded that if the crescent moon decreases, you can first adjust your life pattern, eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, such as milk, eggs, beans, fish, black rice, black fungus and other black foods, and at the same time, take more vitamins and trace elements such as zinc, iron and calcium to maintain your physical strength. "The development of nails is influenced by many factors, and the diagnosis of specific diseases should be combined with other symptoms and the diagnosis of doctors. You don't have to panic because of the change of the new moon. "
