Spots and
Lines on Your Nails
Small white spots on the
nails may indicate calcium or zinc deficiencies or calcium build-up in organs
depending on finger. For example, spots on the ring finger suggest calcium in
the kidney, on the middle finger indicates the small intestine, and if on the
index finger it could be related to the lungs.
Horizontal lines on the
nails may be indicative of digestive disturbances. Brittle nails can reflect
thyroid or kidney problems. Vertical ridges indicate chronic imbalances in the
vata dosha, which could signify malabsorption of minerals and protein as well
as vitamin B12 and iron deficiencies.
One symptom of
hypothyroidism is brittle nails (along with dry skin and hair). Brittle or weak
nails may also be caused by certain nutritional deficiencies. Calcium, iron,
silica, and sulphur deficiencies can all weaken nails. A vitamin A deficiency
may result in brittle nails and splitting of the nails.
