Have You Experienced These Symptoms?
- Frequent hangnails
- Recurrent peeling around the fingertips
- Peeling skin on the hands
- Peeling skin on the feet
- Symptoms that appear during periods of poor health
Hangnails are often thought to be caused only by dry skin.
In traditional East Asian medicine, however, the condition of the fingertips may provide clues about the body’s overall state.
When excessive heat or irritation affects the tissues beneath the skin, the outer layer of skin may begin to peel.
This can sometimes appear as hangnails around the fingertips.
Similar patterns may also be observed in peeling skin on the hands or feet.
In some cases, changes may affect hair rather than skin.
Hair on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other areas of the body may reflect changes in the body’s condition.
At our clinic, we evaluate not only local symptoms but also overall body balance and health.
