Whether the liver is good or not, just look at your hands! If you want a good liver person to not get old, often press 1 acupoint and drink 2 more teas
The liver is the only organ in the body that does not have pain nerves, and once the disease is detected, it is often at an advanced stage. So, is there any way we can detect liver lesions early?
In fact, to know if the liver is healthy, we only need to look at our own hands.
Whether the liver is good or not, you can know by looking at your hands
Generally speaking, if we have the following 6 signs on our hands, it means that there may be an abnormality in liver function.
01
Yellowing of the skin and nails
When liver cells are damaged, the ability to uptake, bind and secrete bilirubin is reduced, and the concentration of bilirubin in the blood will increase relatively, and the skin, nails, tongue coating, and even eyes may appear yellow.
Therefore, if you observe that the skin of your hands or the color of your nails is yellow, it means that there may be inflammation in the liver and you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
▲Note:
When the human body consumes too much carotene and cannot metabolize it in time, the skin may also turn yellow. However, this condition usually resolves automatically after the diet improves, and it does not last long.
02
Presence of "palmar liver"
The blood color of the palm becomes uneven, and the phenomenon of flaky bleeding appears at the base of the thumb and little finger in the thenar area, which is the so-called "palmar liver".
The "palmar of the liver" appears red, but when pressed with the hand, it turns pale, and when released, it turns red again.
In general, this manifestation occurs when the epidermis of the liver is ruptured, the liver function declines, or when you suffer from chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.
03
Fingernails are brittle and easy to break
The health of your nails has a lot to do with your liver. When the liver qi is sufficient and the liver blood is smooth, the nails will also be fully nourished, showing a white and translucent appearance, shiny, smooth and firm.
If the nail has uneven ridges and becomes brittle and easy to break, it is likely to be caused by insufficient liver blood.
▲Note:
When you are overworked or sleep deprived, there are also a lot of vertical lines on your nails, but they usually get better after adequate rest.
04
The green tendons are prominent
As the saying goes, "the liver is the main tendon", when the liver is blocked by liver qi and the flow of qi and blood is not smooth, there will be a phenomenon of protruding green tendons on the hands. If you are still prone to anger and women have symptoms of irregular menstruation, it is mostly due to the exuberance of the liver.
05
The base of the middle finger becomes thinner
If you have a bad liver, the middle finger of your finger will be significantly different from the thickness of other fingers. Generally, it refers to a thinning of the root, and the gap between the middle finger and the fingers on both sides is significantly enlarged.
06
Spider angiomatas appear
A spider nevus is a mole that is slightly raised in the center and surrounded by small radial vascular branches, which resemble a spider and fade in red when pressed. It is formed for the same reasons as palmar liver and is caused by a decrease in the liver's ability to inactivate estrogen.
