What do nails say about health?

Nails can be used to diagnose various diseases by looking at about 30 different medical symptoms.

Club nails

Round and protruding nails, if in any hand, may be a sign of gas in the tissues and other symptoms of liver disease.

Dents in the nails

If the middle part of the nails looks like it has small dents on it or is buried inside, then they are indicating the risk of joint disease or inflammatory skin.

Lines in the nails

If there is a strange line between the nails running from one corner to the other, it could be a sign of severe malnutrition, nail injury, chemotherapy or any disease caused by going too higwh.

Spoon-shaped nails

If the nails bend upwards like a spoon, it could be due to lack of iron in the body.

Protruding nails

If the nails start to peel off the skin, it is due to Thai Ryde's disease, glandular disease or other autoimmune diseases.

Two colored nails

If one part of the nails is white and the other is pink or dark in color, it indicates kidney and liver problems.

See a doctor if you notice changes in your nails and experience any of the above symptoms.
