If there is an island on the Lifeline and many horizontal lines on the Moon Hill, it indicates that the uterus is weak. The little finger is bent, the ovarian function is insufficiency, and it is difficult to have a child.

6. Liver disease:

People with liver disease have lighter blood color on the palms, with dark red or purple spots. The three talent patterns (heaven, earth and man) are mostly yellow or brown.

The health line is vague and shallow, with forked lines. The Mount of Venus or the Mount of the Moon is red, with red, purple, and brown spots.

8. Mid-stage liver cancer:

The palm is purple-red overall, with darker spots and a yellowish hue. There will be divergent lines converging at a future point in time. It indicates worsening of liver disease. You must quit smoking and drinking and eat in moderation. Thorough treatment may require months of patient recuperation. The branch line will disappear.

The wisdom line becomes shallower, with a break in the middle and becomes thinner. There is an obvious millet-like protrusion at the gathering line where the lifeline turns downward. This is a sign that long-term liver disease is turning into cancer. It can appear many years before liver cancer. If appropriate and adequate treatment is given, cancer can still be prevented.

10. Rheumatism:

People with slippery palm muscles often suffer from rheumatism. Finger joints are swollen and painful. If the starting point of the love line is in pairs, the person may suffer from gout. The raised muscles of the Venus Hill and the Moon Hill are very thin and lack strength. The end of the lifeline is split into two strands with spreading ends, indicating problems with walking in the late stage of rheumatism. The little finger and ring finger cannot flex and extend freely and are always bent. This is due to rheumatic nerve palsy. Dark purple spots appear around the wrist and below the Moon Hill, usually indicating rheumatic lumbar disorders. Similar tones may also appear on the inside of the ankle.

A common symptom of heart disease is that the palms are reddish in color. Depending on the severity of the disease, the color may deepen or turn dark purple or bluish-white. The lip color will also be similar to the palm color. Heart disease often causes swollen palms and numbness of the fingertips, while tadpole-shaped fingers are mostly caused by congenital heart disease.

If there is a cross pattern in the center of the palm, and if the cross roughly divides the palm into four quadrants, the heart is normal. If the cross pattern moves downward and the quadrants are unevenly divided, there may be heart defects. The love line is unclear and appears wavy or twisted. There are many short vertical lines under the love line. There are several diagonal lines between the love line and the life line. The end of the lifeline is in the shape of a delta. Heart disease caused by smoking or excessive absorption of soot, with dark spots of dust scattered on the palms. When pericarditis occurs, the fingers on the left side often feel painful.

If these messy lines are concentrated in one part and become concave, the person will feel very tired, like to stay in bed, and have a tendency to bleeding attacks. The heart line is lowered, and there is a lot of space above it (the heart line is below the dotted line). On the contrary, if the love line is located upwards, it is mostly glandular diseases, such as weak stomach, rheumatism, etc. The raised part of the Mount of Venus is too hard and has varicose veins (blue veins are visible). The base of the middle finger appears star-shaped or gray and foggy.

If the starting point of the lifeline is scattered, you are prone to asthma. People with asthma usually have muscles in their palms that lack blood, are thin and prone to wrinkles, and the wrinkles often slant toward the little finger. There is a small vertical line at the beginning of the lifeline, and wrinkles spread out towards the base of the thumb. There are also clusters of small lines on the wisdom line, which then extend downward, but because the attack hinders physical and mental development, there are breaks in the extension process.

How does TCM diagnose diseases through palmistry?

Seeing health through palm lines belongs to the category of hand diagnosis

In fact, it is not nonsense to predict health through palm lines. Its basis comes from traditional Chinese medicine. According to Chinese medicine experts, Chinese medicine theory believes that the human body is an organic whole, and each part is closely related to the internal organs, meridians, qi and blood throughout the body; the physiological activities and pathological changes of the internal organs, qi and blood, and meridians of the body must also have some signs manifested externally and reflected in a certain part. The palms of the hands have abundant blood circulation, concentrated peripheral nerves, and six meridians running through them. They are closely related to the brain, heart and other internal organs, and each internal organ can basically be found in a corresponding place on the hands. Palm lines are therefore regarded as a window for observing a person's physical condition, and can most sensitively reflect the physiological and pathological conditions of the internal organs and tissues of the human body.

Experts say that palm diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine mainly relies on observing the changes in the lines and color of the entire palm to understand the occurrence and development of the disease; while looking at health through palm lines focuses on observing the health status of the body by studying the innate texture and acquired changes of the palm lines. It can be seen that judging health through palm lines falls into the category of hand diagnosis. However, there is a difference in the diagnostic methods between the two. Hand diagnosis adopts the traditional method of looking at the left hand for men and the right hand for women, that is, observing women by looking at the right hand and observing men by looking at the left hand; palm print diagnosis believes that the left hand represents the innate and the right hand represents the acquired, so both men and women need to observe both hands at the same time.

What organ diseases can be seen from palm lines?

Palm print medical theory believes that the texture of a person's palm is not chaotic, but an orderly combination of 14 lines and 8 abnormal patterns, which correspond to the internal organs of the human body. Some of the lines on a person's palm are inherited and remain unchanged; some of them change with the body's acquired physiology, pathology and even emotional changes. By studying the changing patterns of these palm lines, people can understand the health of their body at any time.

Palm print diagnosis and treatment has a wide range of applications. It can observe a person's physique, intelligence, sleep quality, and mental state, reflect respiratory system function, liver and kidney function, and the health of the heart and brain, and indicate neurological, mental, and chronic wasting diseases, cardiovascular system diseases, and chronic respiratory system diseases. Even if the human body shows slight signs of illness, abnormal symbols will appear on the palm lines, especially the lesions of the internal organs will be reflected in the palm line symbols in a timely manner.

Palm print diagnosis and treatment has practical value

Palm print diagnosis is undoubtedly a very simple and convenient way of self-diagnosis, which can objectively play a role in health prediction. Experts hold a positive attitude towards this, believing that individuals can use palm print diagnosis and treatment to self-examine and self-discover, understand their susceptible physical constitutions, understand the ups and downs of their bodies, and to a certain extent, be able to foresee and prevent illness before it occurs, adjust bad living habits in a timely manner, and regulate their bodies systematically. Especially for people who are in sub-health condition, it has a positive effect of warning and correction.

More importantly, palm lines can reflect physical illness in advance. Since many chronic diseases have a certain incubation period, if they are not discovered in time, the best time for treatment will be delayed. Palm print diagnosis and treatment can help patients see the hidden dangers of certain diseases in advance before the disease shows obvious symptoms. Even if it cannot be fully identified, it at least rings the alarm bell for people, provides precious time for treatment on a macro level, and brings a turning point to health.

Don't be superstitious about palm print diagnosis

Experts also remind that although palm print diagnosis and treatment has certain practical value, it is not a panacea. Compared with other diagnosis and treatment methods, it has its limitations and blind spots, especially for pancreatic, blood diseases, thyroid diseases, etc., which are difficult to detect. Individuals should be cautious about this and not blindly believe in palm print diagnosis and treatment, and should not give up routine physical and medical examinations.

Especially for ordinary people, when using palm prints for self-diagnosis, they can often only see the signs from the surface, and the results of self-diagnosis can only be used as an auxiliary means to judge health and diagnose diseases. To accurately judge their own health and pathological conditions, they still need to rely on formal medical testing methods. Life science is the most complex science. Only by treating it dialectically, utilizing it rationally and exploring it constantly can we master health.

How to tell illness and health from Chinese palmistry

First, judge whether the body functions normally from the color of the palm

1. Ruddy and shiny - normal, good body function

2. Dark and withered - no energy, poor immunity

3. Pale and bloodless - Qi and blood deficiency, women often have anemia

4. Excessively rosy and lustrous - high blood lipids, blood sugar and blood viscosity.

Secondly, the colors of different areas on the palm are different, and the properties they represent are also different.

1. White – represents inflammation

2. Red: represents severe inflammation or bleeding spots

3. Cyan - indicates poor circulation

4. Brown: indicates old age or chronic disease

5. Black: represents critical illness

The above picture shows that different parts of the body are represented by different colors of palm lines, which will indicate different diseases.

Third, the blue veins on the palm are small veins, which also represent different health information.

1. The fewer blue veins appear on your palms, the healthier your body is.

2. Blue veins on the side of the thumb indicate insufficient blood supply to the head, resulting in frequent headaches and dizziness.

3. Blue veins at the base of the thumb indicate sclerosis of the heart arteries. The thicker the blue veins, the longer and more serious the disease course, and the patient often feels discomfort in the precordial area; the thinner and shallower the blue veins, the shorter the disease duration, and most patients usually do not have obvious heart discomfort, but they will feel a little chest tightness when they are tired or in a bad mood, which will get better after rest.

4. Blue veins on the outer side of the thenar eminence indicate irregular heartbeats, with heartbeats that are not consistent, and sometimes premature beats, palpitations, and panic.

5. Blue veins at the bottom of the thenar eminence indicate that the body is cold and damp, which has affected the heart and joints, and is also accompanied by back pain and joint pain.

6. If there are blue veins on the outside of the index finger, and the blue veins are long and dark in color, it means that you had poor health when you were a child, did not eat well, had severe malnutrition, weak digestive function, malnutrition, often got sick, and had a very weak constitution.

7. If there is a blue vein in the middle of the middle finger, it means you often suffer from headaches and dizziness. If there are blue veins on the outside of your thumb, it means that you have suffered from headaches and dizziness since childhood, which is mostly caused by congenital deficiency resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain.

8. Blue veins at the base of the middle finger indicate cerebral arteriosclerosis.

9. The appearance of blue veins on the outside of the little finger indicates congenital kidney deficiency. When they are young, they are prone to bedwetting, and when they grow up, they will also have kidney problems, and their waist and legs will feel weak and sore. Similarly, the longer and deeper the veins, the more serious the condition.

10. The area below the middle finger and above the palm is the neck. If blue veins appear, it means there is a problem with the thyroid gland, or there is chronic pharyngitis or what Chinese medicine calls plum pit qi, which is a sign of blocked meridians in the neck.

11. Blue veins appearing on the thenar and inside the lifeline indicate an allergic constitution, prone to drug and food allergies, and prone to skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis.
