What should I do if there are vertical lines on my nails?

What are the vertical lines on the nails? I believe everyone has heard of it. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that we can judge whether a person is healthy from our fingernails. It is very common to have small white spots on the fingernails, such as the size of a crescent moon on the finger. Some people also have vertical lines on their fingernails. What do these mean? What is going on? What should we do?

What causes vertical lines on nails?

The surface of the nails is not smooth enough and has straight lines. This usually happens after overwork or overusing the brain. When you lack sleep, these vertical lines will appear very clearly. If vertical lines persist, it may be a chronic disease of the internal organs. If not treated, the nails will become uneven or even crack as the disease progresses.

Why are there vertical lines on the nails? What should I do if there are vertical lines on the nails? Why do some people have rough nail surfaces? If you look closely, you can see vertical lines. Nails can be said to be a "mirror" that reflects potential health problems in the body. If this situation appears for a short time and disappears quickly, it is usually due to excessive brain use and overwork; if the vertical lines persist, it may be a chronic disease of the organs in the body. If there are black vertical lines, it means that the liver and kidney functions are relatively weak.

There are also horizontal lines. When they first appear, they may start from the bottom of the nail. As the nail grows, they gradually move upward. In this case, the horizontal lines on the nails are a record of the lesions that have occurred. If the horizontal lines are small and numerous, it indicates long-term chronic digestive system diseases, such as gastroenteritis, colitis, stomach disease, etc. If there is a very deep horizontal line, it means that you have had a serious gastrointestinal disease. The deeper it is, the more serious it is; the shallower it is, the more chronic it is. If the horizontal lines are raised, it indicates heart problems, liver problems, and a lack of vitamin A, B, etc.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a saying that "if essence is deficient, it should be supplemented with flavor", which means that protein should be supplemented. It is better to have neutral high-quality protein, such as milk, eggs, beans, fish, black foods (black foods nourish the kidneys), seed foods, embryonic foods, etc. It can be seen that our nails can be regarded as a barometer of health. In daily life, we must always pay attention to its changes. Especially for those girls who like manicures, don’t forget to give your nails a break from time to time, so that they can show their true appearance.
