Question
Doctor, I recently noticed that my child’s fingernails do not have the moon shape, but others do. What should I do?
Answer
This indicates that the person’s Qi and blood are abundant; if the moon shape becomes smaller or gradually disappears, it means the body’s Qi and blood are declining, and the physical condition is not as good as before, so one should supplement protein. The absence of a moon shape on the fingers suggests a weak heart Qi. Lack of energy, if the arc of the fingernail’s moon shape is large? The moon shape on the nail is a sign of whether a person’s energy is abundant and healthy. I suggest checking if there are any other discomforts. If there are any discomforts, it is still advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up and treatment.
