A normal nail must be rosy, smooth and glossy, firm and arc-shaped with clear lunula which tells you if you are energetic and healthy. The more energy you have, the whiter the lunula is, on the contrary the lunula is poor in vague. The lunula tells the disease of a person in the color change or disappearing crescent. In general fewer lunula on the fingers results in less energy, poor health conditions, weaker immune system and tiredness. The thumb lunula is the most visible but not with every person it indicates that the physical energy is insufficient and the disease is about to come.
