* 1. Crescent on the fingernail
Healthy nails should be smooth, rosy, shiny, moderately thick, symmetrical, not skewed, tough and not fragile. There are no vertical and horizontal grooves on the nail surface, and the half-moon (commonly known as crescent) at the root of the nail is grayish white, and the shape of the nail is normally curved. Failure to meet any of the above standards may indicate that there is something wrong with your body.
So, how should we judge specifically? Pi Xianming said, if you want to infer your physical condition from the crescent moon, you must first know what a healthy crescent moon looks like. Generally, the crescent on the fingernail should account for about 1/5 of the fingernail, and more than four fingers in 10 should have crescent, with clear edges.
