Nail Reading - Chinese Palmistry

Nail Reading (指甲相)

The nails are considered small windows to health and fortune. Their shape, color, texture and growth pattern all carry information about your physical constitution and life quality.

Nail Shape (指甲形状)

Round nails: Health, vitality, good digestion. These people have strong constitutions and good energy. They recover quickly from illness. Optimistic and positive in outlook.
Square nails: Stability, practicality, discipline. These people are organized and reliable. They build steady careers and maintain stable health. Less creative but more practical.
Long oval nails: Intelligence, sensitivity, artistic temperament. These people are creative and thoughtful. They may have weaker constitutions but strong mental energy.
Thin pointed nails: Nervousness, anxiety, high stress. These people carry tension physically. They need to learn relaxation techniques and reduce mental pressure.

Nail Color (指甲颜色)

Rose or pink: Good circulation, strong heart, overall good health. This is the healthiest nail color.
Pale or white: Poor circulation, possible anemia, low energy. Eat more iron-rich foods and improve sleep.
Blue or purple: Serious health warning. May indicate heart or lung issues. See a doctor immediately if nails are consistently blue.
Yellow: Possible liver or thyroid issues. Reduce alcohol, process foods and toxins.
Vertical white lines: Nutrient deficiency, stress, overwork. Take rest and improve diet.

Nail Texture (指甲质地)

Smooth, glossy nails indicate good health and balanced nutrition. Rough or brittle nails suggest poor diet or hormonal imbalance. Nails with horizontal ridges indicate periods of severe stress or illness. Growing nails steadily is a sign of good fortune.

"The nails grow from within. What is inside the body shows on the surface."
