What is Fingernail Diagnosis?
Low dietary intake of essential fatty acids, protein, vitamins and minerals can reflect in the nails. There are also some medical conditions that can cause the nails to be abnormal.
What Health Conditions can Nail Diagnosis Indicate?
Low iron intake can cause the nails to become spoon-shaped as well as possible yeast or fungus.
A lack of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids in the diet can cause the nails to become ridged and brittle or it could mean an early adrenal gland issue
Low dietary intake of zinc can cause white spots in the nails or a thyroid gland problem
Lack of silica can cause the nails to become flaky or soft
A Magnesium and calcium deficiency can cause ridges in the nails or mean osteoarthritis
Clubbing nails or the nail bed is elevated, could mean an underlying lung or breathing problems, such as asthma or allergies
What is Tongue Diagnosis?
Tongue diagnosis dates back several thousand years and has been used by practitioners of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine as a diagnostic tool to help in the diagnosis of disease. The Tongue is a valuable marker, just like the fingernails, to determine the health of the 5 systems in the body: heart, liver, lung, spleen and kidney.
What Health Conditions can the Tongue Indicate?
Specific health conditions can be detected and we use tongue diagnosis to identify areas of disharmony or imbalances. We look at the tongues color, shape, surface and coating. For example changes in the tongues color may indicate the following:
Pale = Excess cold, especially if thick white coating. Spleen qi deficiency, especially if thin white coating. Blood deficiency, especially if dull, pale face and lips
Red = Excess heat, especially if there is a thick yellow tongue coating. Yin deficiency, especially if tongue body is thin and coating is thin, absent or peeled.
Purple = Stagnant qi (energy flow of the body). Stagnant blood if dark purple tongue body and/or red spots on the tongue.
Why should you have this test?
The insights gained here by your practitioner will be put together with a comprehensive case history, a thorough chiropractic, physical, orthopaedic and neurological examination and the results of other diagnostic tests performed. All these tests help us to build a greater picture into your underlying causes of disease and poor health. Only you must make the committment!
