What's the matter with the half-moon on the fingernail?

There is a saying that one can judge the physical condition by looking at the half-moons on the fingernails. In a healthy body, there should be seven or eight half-moons on the fingers, and each half-moon should occupy one-fifth of the area of ​​the nail. This is the best condition.

1. The crescent moon is a "barometer" of human health. According to traditional Chinese medicine, nails are the remnants of tendons and are external signs of the liver and gallbladder. Simply put, looking at the fingernails can measure the strength and weakness of the qi and blood in the internal organs, and can tell whether a person is healthy or not. The half-moon on the fingernails can be said to be a "barometer" of human health. There should be 8 to 10 normal half-moons on both hands, and their area should occupy one fifth of the nail. The color should be milky white, the whiter the better, indicating stronger energy.

2. It is scientific and reasonable for Chinese medicine to diagnose a person's health based on the half-moon on the nails. A healthy person should have seven or eight half-moons on his fingers. People who have no half-moons on their fingers except the thumb are prone to kidney deficiency. The fewer half-moons there are, the weaker the energy and the colder the constitution, which means weaker immunity and cold hands and feet.

3. The thumb must have a crescent. A healthy person must have a crescent on the thumbs of both hands. The index finger and middle finger should have a crescent, but the ring finger may not have a crescent. It is best to have eight to ten crescents on both hands. Generally speaking, if the thumb, index finger and middle finger all have half-moons, a total of six half-moons, it is considered basically healthy.

4. The area of ​​a healthy person's lunula is roughly one-fifth of the nail. If the area of ​​the lunula is smaller than one-fifth of the nail, it indicates lack of energy and poor gastrointestinal absorption capacity. If the crescent suddenly becomes dark, shrinks, or disappears, it often means a wasting disease, a tumor, internal bleeding, etc. If the lunula is larger than one-fifth, it usually means myocardial hypertrophy, which makes one prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke and other diseases.

5. The half-moons on the five fingers and diseases. The half-moon mark on the thumb is related to the lungs and spleen. The half-moon mark on the thumb is pink, indicating poor pancreatic function, decreased pancreatic function, easy fatigue, easy cold, and in severe cases, it can cause diabetes. The pink color of the lunula is a warning before you feel anything unusual.
