You must know about the half-moon on the nails and health

Many young ladies who love beauty always like to paint their ten fingers, or even their ten toes, with nail polish of various colors. In fact, nails are the best barometer of our health. We can tell whether our body is healthy from our nails. The half-moon on the nails can better reflect our physical condition, digestive function, constitution and other issues. So how does the half-moon on the nails determine whether the body is healthy?

The normal condition of the half-moon on the nails is that every nail has a half-moon mark, and the whiter the color, the better the physical condition. The shape and volume should account for about one-fifth of the nail. Below I will give you a detailed introduction to the half-moon on the nails.

　Crescent moon on nails

Nails are actually a barometer of our health. Normal nails are rosy, subtle, smooth and shiny, with a small half-moon at the base of the nail, which can actually reflect the good or bad physical condition. Especially for women, many female friends with insufficient qi and blood have no lunula or the lunula are very shallow.

A white arc-shaped mark appears at the bottom fifth of the nail. This is the half-moon mark, also known as the little sun. The half-moon mark on the nail is the boundary between the yin and yang meridians and represents the essence of the human body, so it is also called the health circle. The development of the half-moon marks is affected by nutrition, environment, and physical fitness. When the digestion and absorption functions are good for a long time, the half-moon marks will blur, decrease, or even disappear.

Normal crescent condition:

1. Quantity: It is best to have 8 to 10 half-moon marks on both hands. 2. Shape: The area of ​​the half-moon mark should occupy one fifth of the nail. 3. Color: The half-moon mark should be milky white. The whiter the better, indicating stronger energy.

How to judge whether your body is healthy from the crescent moon

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, if the half-moon on a person's fingernail has a large curvature and good luster, it indicates that the person has abundant qi and blood; if the half-moon becomes smaller or gradually disappears, it means that the person's qi and blood are declining, and the physical condition is not as good as before. . Generally speaking, people with white crescents have strong heart energy and smooth blood circulation; if the white crescent is relatively small or does not exist at all, the heart energy is weaker and the blood circulation may not be very good.

1. Fewer half-moon marks: The fewer half-moon marks there are, the weaker your energy is and the colder your physique is, which means your immunity is weak and your hands and feet are cold.

2. Three types of abnormal half-moon marks: (1) Cold type - the fewer half-moon marks there are, the colder the skin is. No half-moon marks is the cold type. The cold type indicates that the Yang Qi in the body is weak while the Yin and cold are strong. This type of person has poor organ function, slow circulation of Qi and blood, and is easily fatigued, lacks energy, has poor absorption function, and has a weakened physical condition. (2) Hot type - Those who also have half-moon marks on the little finger are of the hot type. For people with a hot personality, the half-moon marks are larger than one-fifth of the nail. The enlargement of the half-moon mark indicates that the internal yang energy is strong, the internal organs are functioning well, and the physical fitness is good. However, people of this type have hyperfunction of their internal organs and may suffer from red face, inflammation, irritability, constipation, and anger. (3) Alternating cold and heat type: When the boundaries of the half-moon marks are blurred and the color gradually approaches the color of the nail body, it is a case of alternating cold and heat or imbalance of yin and yang. Early stage: The edge of the half-moon mark begins to become unclear, like a radiant light. Middle stage: The half-moon marks begin to shrink. Later stage: The half-moon marks gradually decrease and disappear

3. The area of ​​the half-moon mark. (1) If the area of ​​the half-moon mark is smaller than one-fifth of the nail, it indicates insufficient energy and poor gastrointestinal absorption. If the half-moon mark suddenly disappears, it often indicates a wasting disease, tumor, bleeding, etc. (2) When the half-moon mark is larger than one-fifth, it is usually due to myocardial hypertrophy, which makes the patient prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke and other diseases.

4. The color of the half-moon mark: (1) Milky white - normal. People with this color have strong energy, good physique, and are healthy both physically and mentally. (2) Gray: Indicates weak essence, which affects the digestion and absorption function of the spleen and stomach. (3) Pink: Cannot be distinguished from the color of the nail body, indicating decreased organ function, which can easily lead to diabetes, nail dirt and other diseases. (4) Purple: can easily cause poor cardiovascular blood circulation, insufficient blood and oxygen supply, and dizziness. (5) Black: more common in severe heart disease, tumors, or long-term medication causing drug and heavy metal poisoning.
