Nail Analysis Accepted By The Medical Mainstream

Dr. Lad talked often about how much you can learn by looking at a person’s nails.

Diabetes, heart attacks, hyperthyroidism… it’s all there, with simple noninvasiverugna patrakam (physical analysis).

Now, Medscape has published a comprehensive article on this very subject, 40 some pages long, where the following are discussed:

• Overall vitality;
• Inner emotional state;
• Cerebral dominance;
• Occupations and hobbies;
• Medical history;
• Nutritional status;
• Cardiovascular function;
• Rheumatic conditions; and
• Dermatologic problems.

Lots of good information here!

I was so happy to see this article. Not only does it give plenty of really helpful tips, with pictures, it is a strong confirmation of Ayurveda‘s validity.

You will need to sign in to view the article but it is quite worth it.
