🌿 The Ancient Science of TCM Nail Analysis
Based on over 2,000 years of clinical observation in Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM Nail Diagnosis — maps every nail to its organ meridian. Documented in the classical texts Spiritual Axis (Ling Shu) and Simple Questions (Su Wen), nail diagnosis was used by Imperial physicians alongside pulse and tongue reading as a primary diagnostic method.
Combined with Dr. Peter Guy Manners' cymatics research, CymaNails translates your nail meridian indicators directly into frequency prescriptions from the CymaTones library — delivering the exact acoustic commutations to organs your nails identified as depleted.

💅 TCM Nail Analysis — What It Reveals
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your nails are the overflow of the sinews — governed by the Liver. Every nail is the origin or terminus of an organ meridian. Colour, shape, texture, lunula and growth rate are a living 3-month diary of your Blood, Qi and Jing.
🩸
Liver Blood
Pale, brittle, ridged nails → Blood deficiency. The most common pattern in clinic.
💎
Kidney Jing
Deep vertical ridges, slow growth → constitutional reserve depleted.
🌙
Spleen Qi
Lunula size = Spleen Qi vitality. Small or absent lunulae = digestive fire dimming.
❤️
Heart Shen
Pinky nail (HT9) — the most sensitive Heart indicator. Blue tinge = Heart Yang deficiency.

Blood stasis, Heart Yang deficiency, cold obstruction. Pain, poor circulation, cold hands.

Dark / Black Streaks
Severe Blood stasis (splinter haemorrhages). Kidney exhaustion. Seek Western evaluation.
White Spots
Zinc/mineral deficiency, Spleen Qi weakness. Poor nutrient absorption.
🌙 Lunula Analysis
The white half-moon at the nail base reflects Spleen Qi and vitality. Healthy = visible on 8–10 fingers, covering ~1/5 of the nail base. Thumb lunula is always largest.

〰️ Ridges & Texture
The nail plate is a 3-month diary. Every ridge is a timestamped record of what happened to your Qi and Blood.
Smooth
Healthy ✓
Fine Ridges
Liver Blood
Deep Ridges
Kidney Jing
Beau's Lines
Acute shock
Splinters
Heart stasis
↕ Vertical Ridges
Kidney Jing deficiency, chronic stress depletion. Deep ridges = more significant deficiency. Nails grow 0.1mm/day — ridges show years of slow depletion.
↔ Horizontal Ridges (Beau's Lines)
Acute Qi/Blood disruption — illness, surgery, emotional shock. Distance from cuticle ≈ how many months ago (~3mm/month).
🩸 Splinter Haemorrhages
Dark streaks under the nail. Blood stasis in the Heart meridian — correlates with cardiovascular and inflammatory patterns.
✨ Smooth & Shiny
Liver Blood abundant, Qi flowing freely. The ideal baseline — reflects nourishment reaching the nail matrix.
📐 Nail Shape & Constitutional Type
Wide/Flat
Earth type
Long/Narrow
Wood/Water
Round Fan
Fire type
Square
Metal type
Concave
Koilonychia
⬜ Wide & Flat — Earth
Spleen constitution. Nurturing, grounded, overthinks. Lunula is primary Earth indicator.
🔲 Long & Narrow — Wood
Liver constitution. Driven, visionary, Qi stagnation tendency. Vertical ridges are the Wood nail signature.
🔺 Fan-Shaped — Fire
Heart constitution. Warm, expressive, anxiety-prone. Pinky nail is the primary Fire indicator.
⬜ Square — Metal
Lung constitution. Precise, principled, grief-holding. Cuticle health is the Metal nail signature.
🔷 Long & Narrow — Water
Kidney constitution. Deep, enduring, fear-prone. Deep ridges + slow growth = Water nail signature.
🌀 Spoon / Koilonychia
Severe Blood deficiency — Liver cannot nourish the nail matrix. Iron deficiency pattern.
☯️ Five Element Nail Reading
🌿 WOOD — Liver · GallbladderSpring
Anger / Frustration · Vertical ridges · Liver governs nails directly — Wood imbalance shows here first
🔥 FIRE — Heart · PC · TW · SISummer
Joy / Anxiety · Fan-shaped nails · Pinky (HT9) and middle (PC9) are primary Fire indicators
🌾 EARTH — Spleen · StomachLate Summer
Worry / Overthinking · Wide flat nails · Lunula size is the primary Earth indicator
🏔️ METAL — Lung · Large IntestineAutumn
Grief / Letting go · Square nails · Cuticle health is the primary Metal indicator
💧 WATER — Kidney · BladderWinter
Fear / Wisdom · Deep ridges, slow growth · Deep vertical ridges are the Water nail signature
✨ Jing · Qi · Shen — Three Treasures
💎 JING — Essence
Visible in nail density, thickness and growth rate. Deep vertical ridges, very slow growth, thin transparent plates = Kidney Jing depletion. Cannot be quickly replenished — requires rest, mineral support and tonification.
⚡ QI — Vital Energy
Visible in nail colour, lunula vitality and plate smoothness. Rosy pink nail with visible lunulae = abundant Qi. Qi responds faster to treatment than Jing — weeks not months.
🌟 SHEN — Spirit
Visible in nail overall radiance and lustre. Shen gives nails a subtle shine — the "living quality." Anxiety, emotional trauma → dull lacklustre nails despite normal colour.
