Fingers: The wisdom of finger shape and color in predicting health

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that most of the human body's twelve meridians converge at the fingertips. Therefore, once a person becomes sick, the signals of the disease will be reflected in the fingers through the nerves, blood vessels and meridians.

(1) Look at the shape and color of the fingers. A normal person's fingers are plump and rosy, they are flexible to move, can bend and extend freely, and the five fingers are coordinated. The palms are light red or pink, bright and lustrous, and the complexion is even. Once the fingers become deformed or clumsy, the palm becomes darker or lighter, or even other colors appear, there must be something wrong with the health condition.

(2) Deformation of fingers. The obvious changes that occur in a person 's fingers are the manifestation of changes inside the human body at the fingertips.

A thumb joint that is short and too rigid to bend is common in high blood pressure headaches, heart disease, and stroke.

The index finger is flat and curved, with large gaps between the knuckles and scattered lines, which is often caused by spleen and stomach dysfunction due to liver disease.

A flat and bent middle finger with loose joints indicates weak heart and small intestine functions.

The ring finger is flat and bent, with loose joints, which is common in urinary system diseases and neurasthenia.

Side bending of the little finger and dry skin on the palm are common in people with imperfect digestive function.

The inability to quickly and repeatedly touch the thumb and index finger (a normal person's touch speed is quite fast) indicates the possibility of cerebellar movement disorder.

If the index finger mound (i.e. the base of the finger) is bulging more than other mounds (i.e. the base of the finger), it often indicates the possibility of cerebral hemorrhage.

If the fingers are drumstick-shaped (i.e. the fingertips are thicker than the knuckles, like drumsticks) and high, it indicates that the person may have congenital heart disease or serious lung disease, such as chronic pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, cor pulmonale, etc. This is due to long-term chronic hypoxia and hyperplasia of connective tissue at the fingertips.

When the wrist droops and becomes weak, or the knuckles become like bird claws, it is called claw hand. It is a progressive muscular atrophy of the hand caused by damage to the radial and ulnar nerves in the forearm.

Swollen finger joints, skin atrophy, and muscle tendon atrophy are common in collagen diseases.

The finger joints are swollen, small at both ends and thick in the middle, like a weaving shuttle, and are flexed and stiff, unable to straighten, and painful. The pain worsens with activity. This is common in rheumatoid arthritis.

After a phalanx fracture heals, the finger cannot bend at all. If the lesion is in the thumb, it cannot touch the other four fingers. This is called phalanx healing disease, a rare hereditary bone disease.

Stand upright with your eyes closed, stretch out your hands, and spread your fingers. You can see your fingers trembling slightly, which is a sign of hyperthyroidism. The subcutaneous tissue cells of the fingers become dehydrated, and the skin on the palm of the fingertips becomes wrinkled and shriveled, as if the hands have been soaked in water for a long time (called washerwoman's hands). This is common in acute gastrointestinal diseases, severe and frequent diarrhea, vomiting, etc.

(3) Fingers change color. Discoloration of fingers can also reflect problems in the human body.

A pale, thin and weak index finger suggests insufficient heart blood function or anemia.

A pale and thin ring finger indicates poor kidney and reproductive system function.

A pale and thin little finger is common in cases of digestive and absorption disorders, constipation, diarrhea, etc.

Pale and cold fingertips on both hands may indicate chronic gastrointestinal disease.
