Homeopathic Remedy Diagnosis According to the shape and color of Nails etc From BOUKO LEVY M., Homeopathic and Drainage Repertory

Introduction:

The nails are a living tissue that reflects the organism's regenerative strength.
 The nutrition of the nails is in direct relationship with the nervous and endocrine systems and their composition can be compared to bone which starts from a viscous form to finish with a hard consistency.
 Examination of the nails should be an essential part of any complete checkup.
 The finger-nails write of the conscious and active life, the toe nails tell of the family and unconscious history.
 In addition to the classical constitutional diagnosis, nails exhibit the inner energy and the metabolism of the organism.

They can sometimes change very quickly during an acute disease.
 In general, low potencies are taken 1 to 3 times a day, and high potencies, once a month, as needed.
