How to read health through fingers

March 20, 2023
We have probably all heard of what Chinese medicine calls "looking, smelling, asking and cutting". In fact, even if you are not a professional TCM doctor, amateur players can also observe the changes in the body to determine whether their own body has problems, so that they can make adjustments to the problem. In fact, this process of self-testing is the "diagnosis" of Chinese medicine, but, to achieve the amateur diagnosis only need to know a little skill on it.

Thumb

Among the meridians taught in Chinese medicine, the thumb corresponds to the lung meridian, and the lung meridian corresponds to the human organs of the heart and lungs. If the first knuckle is significantly shorter than the second knuckle and does not bend easily, it is important to take care of heart diseases such as stroke and headache. If the lines between the two knuckles of the thumb are scattered and messy, you should pay attention to head health care, as such people are more likely to suffer from head diseases. If the thumb is thin, pale and bent, it is easy to produce problems like neurasthenia, headaches and insomnia.

Index finger

The index finger is next to the thumb, and it corresponds to the large intestine meridian, which corresponds to the organs of digestion such as the stomach and intestines. If there is a disease in the digestive organs, it will be reflected in the index finger. On the contrary, some small features on the index finger can also tell the health of the digestive system. For example, if there are a lot of loose lines at the root of the index finger, it means that the body has been consumed too much and the body's resistance is weak. You need to avoid overworking and strengthen your body resistance.

Middle finger

The middle finger is in the middle of the five fingers and corresponds to the pericardium meridian, which corresponds to the organs of the body: the liver and the five viscera. The three knuckles of the middle finger should preferably be symmetrically distributed. If the second knuckle is long, it means that the body's ability to metabolize calcium is weak and needs to be protected against dental and bone diseases. If the middle finger knuckles are bent, the five fingers are together, and the middle finger is obviously leaking light, this tells us that the body's circulation function is poor and the intestinal tract function is also poor.

Ring finger

The ring finger is between the middle finger and the little finger. This is because the ring finger corresponds to the Sanjiao meridian, which corresponds to the body's respiratory system and lungs. If the first knuckle of the ring finger is significantly thicker than the other knuckle, it is important to look for endocrine disorders. If the whole ring finger is too short, the kidney function may be poor. All of these require more attention.

Little finger

As the last of the five fingers, the little finger corresponds to the small intestine meridian, but it takes on the heavy responsibility of corresponding to the function of the human genitourinary system. If you observe the little finger, if you find that it is too short, you may experience back pain, dizziness and tinnitus; if the little finger is not only short but also has curved knuckles, this is most likely a sign of sexual and reproductive disorders. The above mentioned five fingers, self-testing health condition, can only be a way to assist. If you find that your fingers have these problems, you can go to the hospital for a systematic and comprehensive examination. To prevent missing the best time to treat the disease.
