(A) What is a half-moon mark
The half-moon mark, also known as the little sun, is a white curved mark that appears at the bottom fifth of the nail.
The nail half-moon mark is the boundary between the yin and yang meridians, and is a representative of the body’s essence, so it is also called the circle of health.
The development of the half-moon mark is affected by nutrition, environment, and physical quality. When the digestion and absorption function is poor, the half-moon mark will be blurred, reduced, or even disappear.
The condition of the meniscus shows information about the health condition of the body.
(2) The role of the half-moon mark
In Chinese medicine, it is said that the claw is the rest of the blood and the tendons, and the qi is not depleted to the liver for blood, the blood is not depleted to the kidney for essence, and the essence is not depleted to the bone for marrow.
This is the origin of essence. The essence is also the location of the vital energy. The half-moon mark is important because it shows the information about the condition of essence, blood and qi.
The role of vital energy is to
1.Moisten the five internal organs of the body.
2. Promote the normal operation of qi and blood in the five viscera and six bowels.
3, resistance to external evil (immune function).
4, longevity and anti-aging substances.
5, genetic material.
There is a saying in Chinese medicine: the essence is strong, the essence is weak and sick, the essence is small and old, the essence is dead.
This shows the importance of essence and vital energy. In our daily life, it is good for our health to restore our essence and take care of our body in time. When there is a lack of energy, an important supplement is first of all protein.
Chinese medicine says, “Insufficient essence and blood are supplemented with taste.”
This means that protein should be supplemented. Good quality protein is better in neutral, such as milk, eggs, beans, fish, black sex food (in the case of black tonic kidney), seed food, embryonic food, etc. After a month of persistence, you can see
Half-moon marks appear, showing that energy has been recovered to some extent.
