How to tell your health from your toes?

Traditional Chinese medicine can tell whether a person is healthy from the shape and color of his or her fingers and fingernails. Similarly, Chinese medicine can also tell whether a person is healthy from the shape of the feet, the color, shape, and appearance of the toenails, the degree and emphasis of the force applied by the toes and soles, and the length of the toes. So, how can we tell whether a person is healthy from his toes?

Foot posture

Observing the posture of the feet can also help diagnose diseases. When lying prone, a normal person's toes will be in an inward-facing "X" shape; if the left toe turns outward, there may be a problem with the left side of the heart; if the right toe turns outward, there may be something wrong with the right kidney and heart.

When lying on your back, a normal person's heels should be touching each other; the toes should be pointed outward in an "X" shape. If the toes are unnaturally extended and pressed downward, this person's lungs will have poor elasticity and will be prone to emphysema.

Toenails

A healthy person's toenails have a white half-moon shape that occupies 1/5 of the length of the toenails and is pink in color, like cherry blossom petals.

If there are vertical stripes on the toenails, it means that you are in a state of extreme fatigue and your body functions are low;

People whose big toe nails curl upwards have eye fatigue easily, or have myopia or astigmatism;

If all five toenails are curled, it means you are under considerable mental stress.

Toe push

When walking, the soles and toes exert uneven force, which also has a specific meaning. For example, if the sole on the big toe side is worn and becomes noticeably thinner, such people may be prone to liver disease; if the sole on the little toe side is worn more obviously, the person may have heart disease; if the sole on the heel is worn more obviously, it suggests kidney problems.

Toe shape

Generally speaking, people with long and big toes and broad, thick and big feet tend to live long, while people with thin and short toes and narrow, thin and small feet tend to die young.

Since the little toe is the origin of the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, people with thick and thick little toes tend to have abundant kidney qi, while people with thin and thin little toes tend to have weak kidney qi.

The color, shape, and appearance of toenails can indicate whether the body has any disease, and the walking posture can also tell whether the body is healthy. Looking at the feet can tell you about your health. If we all know a thing or two about this, we can observe our toes in daily life. If we find any problems, we can correct them in time or seek medical treatment in time.
