FINGERNAIL ANALYSIS.

Fingernail Analysis and what to look out For. Each finger reflects what is going on in specific organs, such as:

• The Thumb: Reflects what is going on in the brain, excretory system and in the reproductive organs.
• Index Finger: Reflects what is going on in liver, gall bladder or nervous system.
• Middle Finger: Reflects what is going on in the heart and circulation.
• Ring Fingers: Reflects what is going on in the reproductive organs and the hormonal system.
• The Little Finger: Reflects what is going on in the digestive system. 

I look for certain things when I read a set of nails. Let’s address them one at a time and I’ll tell you what I see most often and some possible causes (we call them “rule-outs” in the medical profession). In general, I look for abnormalities in the lunulae, color, texture and markings, shape, and pliability.

Fingernail Analysis–Nail Fungus

Sometimes I miss this, as it is commonly in the toe nails and I’m looking at the fingernails. The safest, cheapest and most effective treatment for this is to apply Vick’s Vapo Rub once a day on the entire nail. Do this every day until the entire nail grows out. Usually this takes from 2 1/2 to 3 months. Clip the nail and keep it as short as possible during this process. The Vick’s has a high concentration of camphor in it which penetrates the nail and oxygenates the area. Fungus can’t live with that extra oxygen. Many times nail fungus is a sign that the person has a deep-seated yeast infection and has had this for years.

Yeast is also suspected when the cuticles look reddish or have hang nails or people pick at them. But it can also be that they have their hands in chemicals or agents that dry out the cuticles so a good history is necessary when looking at the nails and anything else really. The story has to make sense and add up to lead you in a treatment direction.
