Do not repeatedly immerse your hands in water that
contains detergents and chemicals such as bleach or dish soap; this results
in nail splits and absorption of chemicals and toxins into the body through
your skin.
Wear cotton lined gloves when doing housework such as dishes and
laundry or when using furniture polish. This protects your hands and nails against harsh
chemicals.

Nail self diagnosis
Nail changes may signify a number of disorders elsewhere
in the body. These changes may indicate illness long before any other symptoms appear. Please
do REMEMBER- everything you see on the outside of your body, is a
reflection of something going on inside. Inside of it. Inside your
body.
Unusually wide, square nails can suggest a
hormonal disorder.
Brittle nails signify possible iron
deficiency, thyroid problems, impaired kidney function, and circulation problems.
Brittle soft, shiny nails with a moon may
indicate an overactive thyroid.
Dark nails and/or thin, flat, spoon-shaped
nails are a sign of vitamin B12 deficiency or anemia. Nails can also turn gray or dark if
the hands are placed in chemicals (most often bleach) or a substance to which one is
allergic.
Deep blue nail beds show a pulmonary
obstructive disorder such as asthma or emphysema.
Greenish nails, if not a result of a
localized fungal infection, may indicate an internal bacterial infection.
Black, splinterlike bits under the nails can
be a sign of infectious endocarditits, a serious heart infection; other heart disease; or
a bleeding disorder.
A half-white nail with dark spots at the tip
points to possible kidney disease.
An isolated dark-blue bank in the nail bed,
especially in light-skinned people, can be a sign of skin cancer.
Nail beading (the development of bumps on
the surface of the nail) is a sign of rheumatoid arthritis.
Nails that chip, peel, crack, or break
easily show a general nutritional deficiency and insufficient hydrochloric acid and
protein. Minerals are also needed.
Ridges can appear in the nails either
vertically or horizontally. Vertical ridges indicate poor general health,
poor nutrient absorption, and/or iron deficiency; they may also
indicate a kidney disorder. Horizontal ridges can occur as a result of severe stress,
either psychological or physical, such as from infection and/or disease.
If the white moon area of the nail turns
red, it may indicate heart problems, if it turns slate blue, then it can indicate either
heavy metal poisoning (such as silver poisoning) or lung
trouble.
White nails indicate possible liver or
kidney disorders or/and anemia.
White nails with pink near the tips are a
sign of cirrhosis.
