Half moon nails
Kindly read to the end
You know that little white end on your nail? Yes, it is not just for decoration and can reveal the status of your health.
The lunular, better known as the nail half-moon, is the visible part of the base of our nails.
Damage to this region can deform a nail forever.
In addition, changes in the color may indicate disease, or a predisposition to it.
The change in the half-moon on each finger indicates a possible problem in a body part:
The half-moon on the little finger, as a rule, should be almost unnoticeable or completely absent. It is linked to the work of the kidneys, small intestine and heart. An enlarged half-moon may be the result of high blood pressure.
The ring finger half-moon is responsible for the work of the reproductive and lymphatic systems. A barely visible half-moon may suggest digestion problems.
The half-moon of the middle finger is connected with the work of the brain and cardiovascular system. The absence of a half-moon may indicate vascular problems and high blood pressure.
The half-moon of the index finger may disappear or become considerably smaller because of malfunction of the intestine, the pancreas or the stomach chronic diseases.
The thumb half-moon reflects the work of the lungs and spleen. It is the most visible of all and should not occupy more than 25% of the total nail. May be significantly lower in smokers or higher when you have high blood pressure.
What the half-moon nail shapes mean:
Overly large half-moon in nails
The half-moon are considered large when they occupy one third (or more) of the nail. They indicate problems with the cardiovascular system, heartbeat and low blood pressure.
Large lunates can often be found in athletes and people whose occupation is related to physical activity. If a person is not involved in sports, large half-moon may appear due to a high level of stress.
Small half-moon
Small half-moon, barely visible, indicate low blood pressure and circulatory disturbances. This may be a sign of a weak immune system, poor metabolism, or a lack of iron and vitamin B12.
If the half-moon are noticeably separated from the cuticle with transverse lines, it indicates problems with blood sugar levels and a possible development of diabetes.
No half-moon
Do not panic if you have not found half-moon on your nails. They are often not visible on children's nails and appear over time. In some people they do not even seem to be due to physiological characteristics of the nail structure.
However, a sudden disappearance of half-moon is considered by modern medicine as one of the symptoms of a circulatory disorder. One study showed that the absence of half-moon is related to thyroid gland disorders and a deficiency of vitamin B12 and iron.
Change in color of half-moon
Gray half-moon indicate severe fatigue, digestion disturbances and possible difficulties in nutrient absorption.
White half-moon are healthy and natural ones. The half-moon should have lighter tones than the skin.
Purple half-moon are a sign of poor blood circulation and lack of oxygen in organs and tissues. Dizziness and headaches can often occur.
Pink (red) half-moon may indicate low physical activity and lung problems.
Black half-moon are an unusual and
extremely dangerous sign. As a rule, this is a symptom of heavy metal poisoning.
