Judging the physical condition by observing the hand shape

Watching the hand

Although the shape of human hands has evolved for millions of years, it has not changed much. This refers to the overall shape of the palm and fingers. The shape of a person's hands is constantly changing for each individual, but it is difficult to detect for those who do not pay attention. This tiny change in shape can predict disease, and it will definitely be beneficial to those who are good at using it.

The shape of the human hand has not changed much despite millions of years of evolution.

1. Bending

The fingers of a normal person can move flexibly and can bend and extend freely. When you have certain diseases, the normal movement of your fingers can be impaired. At the same time, the bending changes of different fingers can also indicate different diseases. For example, if the thumb is not able to move and is difficult to bend, it may indicate high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc.; if the tip of the index finger is bent and the gaps between the fingers are enlarged, it indicates the presence of spleen and stomach diseases and liver and gallbladder diseases; if the middle finger is bent, it may indicate heart and small intestine dysfunction; if the ring finger is bent, it may indicate urinary system diseases; and if the little finger is scoliotic, it may indicate digestive tract dysfunction.

2. Clubbing

Finger clubbing refers to fingers that are thick and club-shaped at the end. It is caused by pulmonary ventilation dysfunction, low blood oxygen saturation, and long-term chronic infection, which leads to hyperplasia of connective tissue at the end of the finger joints, causing the end of the finger to be thick, swollen and clubbed. It is common in diseases such as emphysema, pulmonary suppuration, pulmonary tuberculosis, congenital tetralogy of Fallos, bronchiectasis, cor pulmonale, silicosis, pneumoconiosis, and cirrhosis.

3. Swollen fingers

This type of swelling is non-inflammatory, the skin is natural in color, simple swelling without redness and pain. The reason is swelling of the finger tips accompanied by muscle and tendon atrophy and movement disorders, which may indicate collagen system diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, progressive muscular atrophy, etc.; the other is swelling of the finger joints, with obvious swelling in the middle and not obvious at the two ends, that is, fusiform swelling, often accompanied by swelling and pain in adjacent joints and flexion and extension movement disorders, indicating the presence of rheumatoid activity.

4. Fat and thin

The palms and fingers of a normal person are well-proportioned and have no difficulty in moving. If you feel your fingers are thick and swollen, or feel hard and swollen in the morning, it indicates kidney disease, such as chronic nephritis, chronic pyelonephritis and other diseases. If the entire palm is swollen, thickened, and the fingers are short and thick, and there are protrusions of the frontal bone, mandible, and frontal bone, it indicates the possibility of a pituitary tumor. If the fingers and palms are too thin, in addition to those who are thin due to dehydration caused by gastrointestinal diseases, they are also seen in cervical spondylosis, damage to the spinal nerves, cranial nerves, ulnar nerves and other neurotrophic disorders causing muscle atrophy, and accompanied by finger and wrist movement disorders.

The palms and fingers of a normal person are well proportioned and can move smoothly.

5. Movement disorders

The fingers and palms have an inherent movement, and are normally flexible and agile. You can also self-diagnose diseases by observing their shapes when they are still and in motion. For example, when you are still, stretch your arms and close your eyes. Normally, your hands and arms are straight and motionless or move slightly. People with severe neurasthenia, lateral sclerosis, hyperthyroidism, and cerebrovascular disease may experience trembling fingers, shaking body, and unstable standing. If there is damage to the ulnar and radial nerves, or limb paralysis caused by cerebrovascular disease, the person will be unable to move, or may have wrist drop and finger deformities.

There are two knuckles on the fingers that protrude outwards. Some people have thicker ones, while others have smoother ones.

People with high knuckles are thoughtful and cautious. They will not argue with others face to face, but will seize opportunities to do surprising and bold things.

People with a higher first joint tend to be methodical and organized, meaning they do what they say without delay. People with a higher second joint like trivial details and have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

People with very thick first and second joints are usually cautious, quick to react, and have the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

As for people with smooth knuckles, they are smart, sensitive, and quick in doing things, but it is difficult for them to get satisfactory results.

Palmistry thumb

The thumb shows a person's strong or weak judgment ability. People with big and thick thumbs have noble character, good health and longevity, and often hold leadership positions. Because people who move their hands while chatting with others are very alert and not easily deceived, people who move their thumbs while apologizing to others do not mean it sincerely. As for babies who still hold their thumb between the other four fingers a few days after birth, it means that their physical condition is extremely weak.

Palmistry Index Finger

It refers to the quality of a person's reputation, ambition and sensitivity. People whose index fingers are thicker and longer than other fingers have strong self-confidence and ambition, and are politically savvy. Therefore, they often occupy leadership positions and have the qualifications to succeed in their careers.

Palmistry middle finger

The middle finger is the longest among the five fingers, and it also reflects the strength of thinking. People whose middle fingers are thicker and longer than those of ordinary people are cautious in their actions, not good at social activities, and prefer a quiet life of thinking alone. However, if this happens to women, and there is a descending line from the second joint, it indicates infertility.

Palmistry ring finger

The ring finger represents the material desire of artistic temperament. People with very long ring fingers are extremely greedy for luck and addicted to gambling. Especially those with thick and long hair not only have the temperament of an artist, but also have a smooth environment and ample food and clothing.

Palmistry: Little Finger

The little finger shows whether one has social skills. People with thick and long little fingers are usually very intelligent, eloquent, and have good social skills.

The length of the little finger is based on the standard of reaching the first joint of the ring finger. If a woman’s little finger is very short, it means her uterus is very small and she lacks luck in having children.
