How to interpret palmistry pathology

Our palm lines can also indicate our health condition. Some pathologies also have unique characteristics in the palm lines, so we can also see a person's pathological condition through these characteristics. So how do we interpret palm line pathology? Below are some related articles compiled by the editor, let’s take a look!

How to interpret palmistry pathology

How to interpret the pathology of hand lines

1. The love line starts from the ulnar side of the palm, 1.5 to 2 cm below the palmar crease of the little finger, and extends in an arc or parabolic shape to the bottom between the index and middle fingers. It is normal for this line to be deep, clear, rosy in color, and with few lines. This line mainly represents the strength of the respiratory system function.

2. The brain line starts from the radial side of the palm, from the 1/2 point of the line connecting the metacarpophalangeal crease of the index finger and the inner side of the metacarpophalangeal crease of the thumb, and extends in a parabola to the midline of the ring finger. It is normal for this line to be slightly thick, clear, continuous and rosy in color. This line mainly reflects diseases of the nervous, mental and cardiovascular systems. Intelligence level and even trauma can be reflected on this line. People with standard brain lines are usually healthy and full of energy. Those with the end of the parabola too drooping are usually thinkers. If it is too straight, it indicates that the person is stubborn and impatient. Most of the health conditions predicted by the brain line are genetic. This line mainly indicates the health of the heart and brain.

3. The lifeline starts from the radial side of the palm, from the 1/2 of the line connecting the index finger metacarpophalangeal crease and the inner side of the thumb metacarpophalangeal crease, and extends to the transverse wrist line in an arc or parabolic shape, and the arc does not exceed the midline of the middle finger. It is normal for this line to be slightly thick, clear, continuous and rosy in color. This line mainly reflects a person's physique, energy, ability, health status and disease condition. People whose starting point of this line is relatively high have strong courage, strong liver wood, and basically healthy body. Their diseases are liver wood overcoming earth or gallbladder inflammation. People whose starting point is relatively low have insufficient energy and weak spleen earth.

4. The health line starts at the junction of the thenar and hypothenar eminences (with the principle of not touching the life line) and runs obliquely towards the little finger (with the principle of not touching the love line). The length varies, and it is generally better to have no such line on the hand. In the process of palm print diagnosis, the health line is a very important line for observing the occurrence and development of serious diseases. This line is mostly seen in people who work mentally or are physically weak. When their physical condition is poor, the health line will continue to deepen, and then become lighter again when their health recovers. Having a health line is actually unhealthy, especially for patients with poor liver and kidney functions or chronic respiratory diseases, who often have deep and obvious health lines. If the health line does not touch or cut into the life line, it means there is no serious illness.

5. Obstacle line: abnormal lines that cross the main lines or auxiliary lines and have unstable positions. This line can reflect the recent physical condition. If a large number of obstacle lines suddenly appear on your hand, it indicates that you have irregular diet, stay up late or are under great work pressure recently. If a 2 to 3 cm long obstacle line appears on the palm and cuts through the love line, brain line, and life line, it indicates that a chronic wasting disease is invading the body.

6. Eight types of pathological lines

Cross pattern: It is composed of two short lines or one long and one short lines that cross each other perpendicularly. The meaning of a line appearing in the center is greater than that of a line appearing alone. The meaning of a right cross is greater than that of an oblique cross.

The cross-shaped lines indicate malfunction of an organ or inflammation in a certain part of the body. Compared with the cross-shaped pattern, the cross-shaped pattern indicates that the condition is milder, the course of the disease is shorter, and the disease is in the early stages or indicates that the condition is improving and the disease will be cured. The cross-shaped lines appear in different places, representing different disease sites. If it appears at the beginning of the life line, it means you suffered from throat disease in childhood. If it appears at the end of the life line, it indicates physical decline. If it appears on the brain line, you should prevent sudden illness. If the cross-shaped lines are dark red, it means that the disease is occurring.

Tic-tac-toe pattern: a symbol shaped like a tic-tac-toe formed by four short folds. This kind of pattern will develop into a rice-shaped pattern or coexist with a well-shaped or rice-shaped pattern.

Cross-shaped patterns are generally associated with chronic inflammation, which indicates that the inflammation lasts for a long time, changes slowly, and does not cause substantial changes. If it appears in the gallbladder area, it indicates inflammation but no stones.

Rice-shaped pattern: It is mostly composed of three or four short lines to form a rice-shaped pattern or a deformed rice-shaped pattern.

The rice-shaped lines indicate that there is qi stagnation and blood stasis in a certain organ. Appearing in the gallbladder area indicates gallstones. Appearing in the heart area, it indicates that angina pectoris will occur. It also indicates that the disease course is long and the condition is serious.

Star pattern: A five-pointed star-shaped pattern formed by the intersection of multiple or more folds. This type of pattern is less common.

If five-star shaped lines appear on the lifeline or love line, it usually indicates that you are prone to sudden illness, insanity, brain injury, or ischemic cerebrovascular accident. The incidence of hemiplegia is generally very high when people are over 50 or 60 years old. However, the prognosis is good and the mortality rate is low.

Triangular pattern: A pattern shaped like a triangle composed of three short folds.

Triangular lines indicate that the condition is lighter than tic-tac-toe lines, heavier than cross lines, and is developing towards rice lines. The independent triangles are larger than the triangles formed by the main palm folds together. The triangle pattern crossing the main line is a symptom of disease, indicating dysfunction of related organs. The triangle pattern at the end of the love line indicates potential cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The condition is developing and is a sign of susceptibility to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in old age.

Checkered pattern: a pattern composed of four short lines forming a rectangle or square.

The checkered pattern is the palm print representation of various scars (caused by surgery, trauma, etc.). It has the function of protecting and enhancing the development of diseases suggested by various areas towards good health.

Island-shaped pattern: The lines are like islands, and their range can be large or small, independent, continuous, or nested, so they should be carefully identified.

Island-shaped patterns on the main line are mostly bad omens. It indicates dysfunction of related organs and possible malignant changes of inflammatory masses and tumors. The smaller the island pattern is, the more meaningful it is. An overly large island pattern only indicates that the organ represented by the area is weak.

Island patterns on the brain line indicate physical weakness, illness, head injury, and mental disorder. Island-shaped marks on the love line indicate heart disease. Island patterns on the lifeline and health line are mostly symbols of disease. Island patterns with changed color are more ominous and often indicate tumors and cancer.

Ring-like patterns: The palm lines are like rings, and there are often other patterns in the center of the ring, which can only be discovered by observing the overall situation. It is a rare species.

Ring marks are related to trauma, and severe trauma can generally leave ring marks on the palms. (Feng Shui www.azg168.cn)

How to read the pathological analysis of hand lines

How are palm lines formed?

Palm lines are a type of dermatoglyphics, which are composed of raised dermal ridges and sunken dermal furrows arranged in a regular pattern. Dermatoglyphics mainly exist on the palms, soles, fingers and toes, and are highly individual-specific and lifelong.

The dermatoglyphics of the palms are gradually formed in the early stages of embryonic development. Dermatoglyphics begin to develop during the 10th week of pregnancy, evolving from a primitive structure in the embryo called the palm pad. The dermatoglyphics begin to be visible on the skin surface at 19 weeks of pregnancy, and the pattern of the dermatoglyphics will no longer change. There are currently three hypotheses to explain fingerprint formation: the mechanical hypothesis represented by the folding hypothesis, the neural hypothesis, and the fibroblast hypothesis. There is no consensus on how dermatoglyphics are formed, but based on current research findings, genetic, developmental, and environmental factors work together to create individual-specific dermatoglyphics.

Although people have different opinions on the reasons why dermatoglyphics vary greatly, there is no dispute that once the dermatoglyphic pattern is formed, it remains fixed and basically does not change.

Palm lines and congenital diseases

Palm lines are affected by genetic factors, so some congenital diseases (especially chromosomal abnormalities) do have some relationship with abnormal palm lines.

Normal people have three obvious palmar folds (palmal nexion), namely the distal transverse fold, the proximal transverse fold and thenar fold. When the two horizontal creases on the distal and proximal sides merge into one and run through the entire palm, it is called the simian crease, which is also commonly known as the through-hand, or what people usually call a broken palm. About 4% of the normal population has syndactyly, and 50% of patients with congenital idiocy (trisomy 21 syndrome) have syndactyly. The wrinkles between the finger joints are called finger folds. Normally, the thumb has one finger fold, while the other four fingers have two. If there is only one, there may be a genetic disease. At the base of the palm, there is a trident between the thenar and hypothenar eminences, called the palmar trident or axial trident, represented by t. The angle atd is formed by connecting t with the trident at the base of the index finger (a) and the trident at the base of the little finger (d). The ATD angle of normal people in my country is about 41 degrees, while that of patients with congenital idiocy reaches or exceeds 60 degrees. In addition to palm prints, some other dermatoglyphic indicators can also indicate certain diseases, such as abnormal total ridge count (TRC), abnormal count of certain fingerprint patterns, etc. In addition to trisomy 21, genetic diseases related to chromosomal abnormalities, such as trisomy 18, trisomy 13, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Kabuki syndrome, all have different changes in dermatoglyphic characteristics. In addition to chromosomal diseases, some genetically related multi-gene complex diseases (such as schizophrenia, malocclusion, breast tumors, bronchial asthma, etc.) may also be accompanied by changes in dermatoglyphic features.

Theoretically speaking, palm prints can indeed serve as an auxiliary diagnostic clue for these diseases. However, it is worth noting that no matter what kind of palm print abnormality, it is not specific to a certain genetic disease. We know that any diagnostic indicator has two basic characteristics, namely sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity refers to the chance of not missing a disease when diagnosing it, and specificity refers to the chance of not misdiagnosing a disease when diagnosing it. For example, if ambidextrous hand is used as a diagnostic indicator of a chromosomal disease, and in reality 2% of normal people also have ambidextrous hand, then these 2% of normal people will be misdiagnosed as patients. At the same time, the incidence rates of bimanual hand in patients with trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13 are 31%, 25%, and 62%, respectively. That is to say, according to this diagnostic method, 69% of patients with trisomy 21, 75% of patients with trisomy 18, and 38% of patients with trisomy 13 will be missed. Therefore, it is not feasible to diagnose a certain genetic disease based solely on palm print patterns. In clinical practice, genetic gene and chromosome testing is a more convenient and reliable method to diagnose these diseases.

How to read liver pathology from palm lines

1. Heart area

Located below the middle and ring fingers, it reflects the heart function

If the skin surface is prominent, high, without disordered lines, and has a pink luster, it means that the heart is functioning well and the vitality is abundant.

If there are messy palm lines in the heart area, it indicates that the heart function is damaged, and symptoms such as palpitations and blood pressure fluctuations will appear.

If rice-shaped patterns appear in the heart area, it indicates that you are prone to myocardial ischemia and angina pectoris, especially when the rice-shaped patterns in this area echo the rice-shaped patterns at the end of the wisdom line and the end of the life line, indicating the risk of stroke.

Maintenance method: The heart belongs to the bitter category among the five flavors. Bitter foods such as bitter melon, lotus seeds, celery, and kale can nourish the heart. Especially in the summer when it is suitable for nourishing the heart, you can eat more of them, which is beneficial for clearing heart fire and nourishing heart qi.

2. Endocrine region

Located below the hypothenar eminence and above the transverse wrist crease, it reflects the condition of the endocrine system.

If this area is too sunken, has abnormal spots, and has many chaotic lines, it indicates poor reproductive system function. Men often suffer from impotence, premature ejaculation, and prostatitis, while women are prone to infertility, irregular menstruation, uterine fibroids, and gynecological inflammation.

If there are island patterns, rice-shaped patterns, or triangle-like patterns in the middle of this area, it means that you are prone to gynecological diseases and should have regular B-ultrasound examinations.

Maintenance method: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that gynecological inflammation is mostly caused by dampness and heat in the body, which causes stagnation of qi and blood. Therefore, you can drink more rose tea, ginger and jujube tea, etc. These teas have the effects of clearing heat and dampness, promoting blood circulation and nourishing yin. Drinking a cup a day can effectively improve symptoms. At the same time, the diet should be light and the private parts should be cleaned with warm water every night.

4. Hepatobiliary area

The area on the thumb side of the lifeline and the angle between the lifeline and the wisdom line corresponds to the liver area of ​​the human body; the area on the left edge of the thumb and the thenar side of the intersection of the vertical line and the lifeline corresponds to the gallbladder area of ​​the human body.

If this area has no lines, is rosy, and the wisdom line and life line are rounded, it indicates that the liver is healthy.

If a large number of cross marks appear in the liver area, it indicates that long-term staying up late and irregular lifestyle have caused liver fatigue.

If rice-shaped lines appear, it indicates long-term liver depression and qi stagnation, frequent palpitations and chest tightness, accompanied by dark blue plaques, which means the liver may have been damaged.

If the liver area is enlarged, the fat under the skin is very thick, and the skin surface is raised and protruding, it indicates fatty liver.

If this area is dark and has no luster, especially when island lines appear, it is often due to breast hyperplasia caused by depression.

Maintenance method: The most important way to nourish the liver in traditional Chinese medicine is to take a nap. Sit quietly and rest for 10 to 30 minutes after a meal. This will allow nutrients in the body to flow to the liver through the blood, thereby enhancing liver function. In addition, you can also eat some liver-nourishing foods, such as seaweed, ginger and crab meat porridge, and mung bean and barley soup. Eating them every day for a month is a good way to relieve liver qi. .
