Diagnostics by nails and their shape

A normal nail is approximately 12 mm in length, with a smooth surface without dots, folds, or depressions, a glossy surface and a uniform pink color. The hole at its highest point is equal to a fifth of the nail. A physically and mentally healthy person has such nails.

If there are problems in the functioning of the body, then warning signals appear on the nail plates, indicating diseases or nervous overload, which can be caused by metabolic disorders, ecology, or psychological factors.

Diagnosis of diseases by the shape and type of nails

Let me give you an interesting fact. Injuries and acute infections leave white horizontal lines on the plate, which appear at the cuticle and move upward as the nail grows. The same grooves remain during nervous breakdowns, shock and serious illnesses. A nail grows on average 9 months. If the nail plate is divided into 9 transverse parts, then at the location of the groove you can see in which month this event occurred.

What does the look of your nails say?

Longitudinal grooves appear during chronic infections and inflammatory diseases (paranasal sinuses, carious teeth, inflammation of the large intestine) and remain as long as the disease lasts. Splitting longitudinal lines are a sign of rheumatism.
Transverse grooves indicate diseases of the intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys.
Lumpy and yellowish nail plates - due to fungus or diabetes.
Reddish holes - in bilious and hot-tempered people, or with weakening and pathology of cardiac activity. A bluish color indicates poor blood circulation, a yellowish color indicates liver disease.
Hippocrates' nail is similar to watch glass - round, convex with a large hole, it occurs with serious heart disease, tumors or pulmonary tuberculosis.
A long nail plate speaks of modesty and sensitivity. Their owners are thoughtful, reserved, polite, compliant, and often suffer from self-doubt.
Too long nails belong to people who are slow, secretive and distrustful.
Quadrangular nails characterize a critical mind, a thirst for knowledge, a variety of interests and excellent adaptability in life. And triangular ones - excessive excitability, viciousness and grumpiness.
Logical, situationally oriented people who are prone to criticism and control usually have short nails. If they are too short, their owner is aggressive and hot-tempered.
Narrow nails in excitable and narrow-minded people with an angry, stubborn, envious character.
Hard nails mean strong bones and health, physical strength and vitality. Soft and thin - soreness and weak will.
If the cause of bad nails is not listed in this list, let's try to identify it further.

Causes of brittle nails

Nails peel, crack, and become brittle due to diseases of the thyroid gland. At the same time, nervousness, weakness, and fatigue appear. The disease can be detected by a blood test and treatment can be started on time.
If you carry out household chores without rubber gloves, then washing, cleansing, bleaching and other chemicals will quickly ruin the skin of your hands and the health of your nails. Be sure to use nail strengthening and moisturizing creams.
An unbalanced diet with a lack of large amounts of vitamins, iron and calcium has a negative effect on the condition and appearance of the nail plate.
White spots on soft and brittle nails in nervous and exhausted people also indicate a lack of calcium in the body.
Matte, thick and brittle nail plates signal the owner’s meanness and cunning.

Super recipe for strengthening nails

I took an incomparable cocktail recipe for strengthening nails from the program Live Healthy. It not only saturates the body with calcium, but also helps fight osteoporosis:

Pour a glass of water, lemon juice, 50 ml of your favorite alcohol into a bowl, break 2 eggs directly with their shells (don’t forget to wash them with soap first), add sugar to taste, beat the mixture with a mixer and drink for excellent health, strong bones and beautiful nails.

I presented to you another unusual method of diagnosing diseases - diagnosis by nails. Try using it, and I will be very interested to know what you get. Also carry out a diagnosis based on the face, or a diagnosis based on the auricle.

Help yourself

Do not think that the issue will be resolved on its own. With inactivity, the indicators will increase, and the pain will bother you even in the absence of movement. What to do if a nail grows on your foot?

The initial level involves careful care of the affected area. Warm baths, several times a day, with the addition of salt, soap, and antibacterial agents will be beneficial.

After this, try to slip a gauze flagellum soaked in chlorhexidine and myrogen under the ingrown part of the nail. They change it daily, trying to move it lower.

At the initial stage, try exposure to boiling water. The finger is dipped into a container of hot water for two seconds and quickly returned back. Repeat 15 times.

There is another method that advises what you can do yourself if the nail has grown into the skin.

In the middle, a groove is cut with an ordinary nail file that does not affect the nail bed. It will help tighten the corners, as a result of which the correct growth of the plate will be normalized.

Cauterization with laser

The high-tech procedure takes place under local anesthesia.

Using a laser beam, the surgeon burns out small depressions in the problem area, through which the nail plate is exposed, destroying growth cells and stopping inflammation. This stops the growth of the traumatic area and causes stable remission.

Removal by radio waves

A gentle technique removes the ingrown part of the nail, including the nearby area, and also cleans the growth zone. After the manipulation, there are no scars or stitches.

When an ingrown toenail begins to fester, the first thing to do is immediately go to a surgeon or orthopedist.

You will need to take a blood test to understand the stage of the inflammatory process, ruling out diabetes mellitus. An x-ray will be needed to provide the specialist with information about the source of suppuration.

The most effective and modern way out in this situation is to turn to radio waves and lasers. Their advantages:

the risk of relapse is excluded;
the recovery period is short;
nail removal is accompanied by disinfection;
no blood is lost.

The fact that a person experiences painful discomfort is not so bad. But ignoring the symptoms, it provokes dangerous complications such as purulent abscess, gangrene, osteomyelitis. Therefore, take care of your feet and do not put off visiting a doctor.

How to care?

To improve the condition of nails with koilonychia, proper care is important, because thin plates are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of external factors and require additional protection and care.

What can be done?

Wear rubber gloves when working with detergents, cleaning agents and other aggressive compounds;
Use a soft brush to keep your nails clean;
Moisturize your hands and feet with cream daily;
Trim your nails only after a bath or shower when they are soft;
Keep your nails trimmed short so as not to catch or bend them;
Choose shoes that do not squeeze your toes;
See a doctor immediately if there is redness or inflammation;
Avoid nail polish removers containing acetone;
Do not wear gel polish or use regular decorative varnish until koilonychia is cured.

Problems with nails often indicate that something is wrong with the body; they cannot be ignored. In the case of koilonychia, this may be a sign of serious systemic disorders that require medical attention. You should not delay visiting a specialist, because there is a risk of wasting time and worsening the condition.

Taking into account the meaning of fingers

When doing a manicure according to Feng Shui, you should also take into account the fact that each finger on the hand has its own energetic meaning.

Right hand

If you want to get a promotion at work, you should focus on your thumb.

The index finger should not be highlighted. This manicure will make you grouchy and narcissistic.

The middle finger carries negative energy. He is responsible for all discord and quarrels with loved ones.

The ring finger will help you attract luck and prosperity.

The little finger will protect you from quarrels and adversity.

Left hand

By highlighting your thumb, you will only waste time on your manicure. Such nail art will not meet your expectations and will bring disappointment.

The index finger will affect your phobias. They will begin to torment you even more.

The middle finger is responsible for sexuality and attraction to the opposite sex.

The ring finger is a sign of loneliness and depression.

The little finger in this belief is associated with pretense and betrayal.

Important! Avoid overly pointed nails as they draw out positive energy.

What types are there?

Depending on the severity of the course, two stages are distinguished:

Early or initial, when thinning and flattening of the nail plate are noted. A small depression appears in the center, color and smoothness are preserved;
Late, in which the subungual space changes, the nail becomes fragile, the free edge of the plate bends upward. The nail plate crumbles at the edges, but retains its natural color and smooth surface.

Depending on the cause, koilonychia can be:

Hereditary or congenital, develops as a result of gene mutations. Dystrophy is inherited; many family members have it;
Acquired, formed during life under the influence of external factors or internal diseases;
Idiopathic, when the causes cannot be determined.

Folk recipes

They are appropriate for early signs of the disease. Use a piece of butter applied to the steamed nail overnight, covered with a bandage and wrapped in a layer of polyethylene. The oil softens the nail material, providing it with elasticity, which makes it easier to apply the tourniquet.

Aloe has a wound healing effect. Use the pulp by turning the plant into a pulp. The mass is applied to the inflamed area, having previously steamed it.

Crushed plantain leaves, applied in the same way, will help. Such sessions should be regular.
