The reason why there is no half-moon on the nail

What’s the matter if there is no half-moon on the fingernails? What does the half-moon on the nails represent? It is actually an indicator of your health. Especially for female friends, fewer crescents often mean that your qi and blood are too weak. However, Yueya Shao also divided the situations into many categories. We will introduce in detail what health problems may occur if there are fewer crescent moons and how to regulate it. So please read on.

What exactly is a crescent mark?

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 half-moon marks

1. Quantity

The best number of half-moon marks on both hands is 8 to 10.

2. Form

The area of ​​the half-moon mark should occupy one fifth of the nail.

3. Color

The best color for the half-moon mark is milky white. The whiter the better, indicating stronger energy.

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

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. Traditional Chinese medicine does have records that the white crescent can be used to determine whether a person's heart function is good. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver stores blood, and the quality of blood circulation will directly affect the function of the heart. The liver's essence is concentrated on a person's fingernails. 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. The liver opens to the eyes, governs the tendons, and its essence is in the nails. This shows that the strength or weakness of liver blood can affect the growth and decline of nails.

1. Less half-moon marks

The fewer half-moon marks there are, the weaker your energy is and the colder your constitution 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 the half-moon marks, the colder the skin is. No half-moon marks is a cold type.

The cold type indicates that the Yang Qi in the body is weak while the Yin and cold are strong.

Such people have poor organ function, slow circulation of qi and blood, easy fatigue, lack of energy, poor absorption function, pale complexion, cold hands and feet, palpitations, drowsiness, easy to catch colds, repeated colds, and gradually their energy and physical condition decline, and they may even suffer from phlegm and dampness stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, phlegm and dampness nodules, and are prone to tumors.

(2) Hot type: Anyone with a half-moon mark on the little finger is 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. But in the case of illness, the Yang Qi is relatively strong. People of this type have hyperfunctioning organs and may have red face, getting angry, irritability, constipation, anger, dry mouth, large appetite, not afraid of cold, hyperactivity, and even high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and susceptibility to stroke.

(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. Half-moon mark area

(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 lunula suddenly becomes dark, shrinks, or disappears, it is often an indication of a wasting disease, tumor, or bleeding.

Children do not have half-moon marks before they develop.

If adults have too much nightlife and sex, the half-moon marks will disappear and be difficult to grow back.

(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 are energetic, have a 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, and can easily cause anemia and fatigue.

(3) Pink: Indistinguishable from the color of the nails, it indicates decreased organ function and excessive physical exertion, which can easily lead to diabetes, nail dirt and other diseases.

(4) Purple: This color can easily cause poor cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood circulation, insufficient blood and oxygen supply, and lead to dizziness, headaches, and cerebral arteriosclerosis.

(5) Black: more common in severe heart disease, tumors, or long-term medication causing drug and heavy metal poisoning.
