Nails

In Electropathy, every part of the body reflects the vital force and internal fluid balance. Though often overlooked, nails serve as a window into the condition of our blood, nutrition, and metabolism. Strong, smooth, and well-colored nails are indicators of a healthy internal system, while weak, discolored, or brittle nails may point to deeper disturbances.

Anatomy and Growth of Nails

Nails are composed mainly of keratin, a protein also found in hair and skin. They grow from the nail matrix, located under the cuticle, and are supplied with nutrients through tiny blood vessels.

• Average growth: 2–3 mm/month for fingernails

• Structure includes:

  • Nail plate – visible part

  • Lunula – the half-moon at the base

  • Cuticle – protects the root

  • Nail bed – underneath the plate

Functions of Nails

1. Protection
   Fingertips are sensitive and need shielding; nails protect them during daily activities.

2. Support
   Nails help with gripping, scratching, and manipulating small objects.

3. Health Indicator
   Nail changes often reveal nutritional deficiencies, blood disorders, or metabolic issues.

Common Nail Disorders and Their Meanings

Brittle Nails

• Cause: Nutritional deficiency (iron, calcium), dehydration, or poor circulation

• Electropathy support: S5, C1, and A3 for blood nourishment and vitality

Pale or White Nails

• Cause: Anemia, liver dysfunction, or weak digestion

• Remedy: C5 and F1 to support liver, blood, and digestion

Yellow Nails

• Cause: Fungal infection or lymphatic congestion

• Treatment: L1, C7, and A2 for detoxification and lymph regulation

Spoon-Shaped Nails (Koilonychia)

• Cause: Iron deficiency or malabsorption

• Electropathy support: S10 and G1 for digestive and metabolic support

Vertical Ridges

• Normal with age, but excessive ridging may indicate vitamin B deficiency or weak absorption

• Natural remedy: N1, A3, and S1 to strengthen nerve and nutrient supply

Biopathy & Electropathy Perspective

In Electropathy, nail issues are not treated locally only, but seen as signs of systemic imbalance. The body is supported through vital fluid balancing, toxin elimination, and organ strengthening.

Natural Nail Health Support:

• Eat protein-rich, alkaline, and iron-rich foods (like leafy greens, legumes, and seeds)

• Keep nails clean, trimmed, and moisturized with natural oils (like almond or coconut oil)

• Avoid chemical-based nail polish or removers

• Practice daily hand and nail massage to improve circulation

Nails as Diagnostic Tools

In traditional natural healing systems, nail observation is part of diagnosis. For example:
