FuXinShun Qinghai province hospital of traditional Chinese medicine

China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        We fingernail root have a whitish half moon, known as the half moon mark. Recently the network have legend: normal link hands should be 8 ~ 10, each link area accounts for about one 5 of the same nail, color are the elapse that suckles white; From the link can see people health level, such as link to reduce or disappear, only thumb a link or even no fingers that body virtual body cold; In addition to thumb and forefinger, middle finger, ring finger have link outside, little finger also have link, and the link area is greater than the same nail one 5, for the heat KangCheng; Crescent area is less than one 5 of the same nail, it means the energy shortage; Crescent suddenly tarnished, reducing fine, disappear, will suffer from consumptions, cancer, etc.; Crescent is more than five points at that time, many for myocardial hypertrophy, Month tooth-colored ash easy anemia, tired weakness; Crescent pink, and a body color points not clear, easy to diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc.; Month tooth-colored purple easy dizziness, headache, cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc.; Month tooth-colored black, in serious heart disease, cancer or heavy metal poisoning, etc.

        Although these in the strengthening of human understanding, expand the diagnostic horizons and improve diagnosis and treatment effect has certain value, but are lack of theoretical basis, research to explore.

        By saying the lack of Chinese medicine theory support crescent moon. Hope link belongs to the traditional Chinese medicine in the inspection of the local inspection at onyx category. "Element asked · the generation article" has "the bar person, all belong to the day." "Liver of close, muscle also, its glory claw also." Is that there is a close relationship between nails and liver, liver advocate storing blood and drain, liver blood enough nails, ruddy, liver blood deficiency is nail withered, these literature did not mention link.

        The hand hole hand cut make a diagnosis and give treatment "describe observes the onyx: nail for more than the reinforcement, liver advocate muscle, hope onyx can not only sensing hepatic disease, still can reaction general condition. Normal nail color reddish, smooth bright, with hand pressure, relax the color immediately recover, showed that blood enough, smooth meridians. Onyx pale abodes for liver blood deficiency, spleen, kidney Yang deficiency; Onyx color black people main blood stasis and pain, if black and KuGaoZhe more for fierce wait; Claw methyl red red many main hot, red and purple main hot poison ablaze, or rheumatism turn heat, bizu meridian; Claw methyl red purple and dark or crimson color for fever injury cloudy, occurs in fever later; Onyx yellow, the reason for the hot and humid fumigation, in jaundice, its colour and lustre is bright for shun, dull hysteresis a long illness for Yin yellow; Onyx blue many main cold syndrome, blood stasis are visible, if the disease for a long time and see claw green and prognosis. The book also did not mention link.

        The TCM diagnostics "on toes at only the following description: twin acute finger, cannot unbend person, is a chicken claw wind. Refers to the toe joint swelling deformation, flexion and inconvenience, system rheumatism long setting, kidney and liver insufficiency caused by. Plantar skin violet black, run flow with water, incarnadine not fresh, taste smelly pain play, for gangrene. No mention link.

        The self-test or impediment of nails based article saying a day only to link the description: nearly a root place deck has a white half-moon area, called arc shadow, also called a half moon, health ring and other name. Arc shadow color depends on cell layer thickness, old thick nail bed nets within the capillary almost entirely through not, therefore, present white.

        Thus it can be seen, about the link to health conditions have indicating value of the content in the thousands of years of Chinese medicine in the classical medical almost no records, the value of the diagnosis and therapy of natural is not high, but it is not worthless, from the link can see human blood state, general can reflect whether human body under sub health or health state, as for the body which part of sub-health or state of health, at present cannot give a reasonable explanation.

        The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine any single diagnostic method are not independent diagnosis of diseases, single diagnostic method received disease material although most is true, but there are also many is false, so the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis of disease have to bits of pulse from disease, bits of disease from vein. The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine thinks, cold pole like hot (true winter vacation heat), heat very like cold (really hot false cold), large actual we shape (real false virtual), to empty filled syndrome (true false real). Illusions are often appeared in the condition of crisis, if not careful examination, will be confused by appearance, easy misdiagnosis, of the crisis. Illusion appear, many in the arms and legs, skin and complexion, and the internal organs, blood, body fluid and other internal performance can often truthfully report the disease essence, the differentiation of symptoms and signs should be in the card, tongue like, pulses as the main basis. To give an accurate diagnosis, must close and four diagnostic methods, QuCuQuJing, eliminating the, comprehensive analysis. Hope link belongs to the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine inspection of local inspection at onyx category, be inspection "leftover material", in the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine is valuable, but independent diagnose disease is still not enough.
