People have long learned to determine health by the condition of their nails, skin color and other signs, and this knowledge is still practiced today in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine and throughout the world. And this is justified: nothing has changed in the human body over millennia; it is structured the same way, reacts to illnesses and injuries in the same way. By carefully monitoring our condition, we can hear in time the first manifestations of signs of a violation of a particular organ that needs protection and take action in time. And each of us can learn the simplest self-diagnosis.
It is better to do a self-examination in the morning or afternoon, but only if you are not yet tired.
It’s best to look at yourself in diffuse daylight using two mirrors to get a good look at your face and ears from all sides.
Record your observations.
Do not rush to conclusions, do not diagnose yourself and do not self-medicate if you notice any changes. See a doctor and get examined..
1. What does our face tell us?
A very pale face often occurs with anemia or impaired kidney function.
A yellow tint to the skin, yellow circles under the eyes and age spots occur due to diseases of the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder.
If the face is red, then this may be a sign of various skin diseases, as well as a consequence of magnesium deficiency in the body.
Pale pink circles under the eyes indicate problems with the bladder. Bluish facial skin is often evidence of problems with the lungs, bronchi, and heart.
Earthy-gray color and dark circles under the eyes - possible disturbances in the functioning of the kidneys, intestines, and endocrine system.
Swelling - it is worth checking the functioning of the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels.
Increased dryness of the skin indicates possible violations in the functioning of the stomach, the threat of developing diabetes mellitus, as well as a lack of vitamins and minerals.
Increased sweating - heart disease, lung disease, hormonal disorders, and a tendency to neurosis are likely.
2. What diseases can be seen on the lips?
Dark or bluish lips indicate problems with the heart and lungs.
White or pale lips may indicate anemia, problems with blood and lymph circulation.
If there are brown specks on the lips, this may be a sign of helminthic infestation.
Chapped lips: the body lacks fluid, gastrointestinal problems.
3. Looking at the teeth...
In ancient times, doctors believed that zuwould They themselves do not hurt or decay, but each tooth has a specific organ corresponding to it.
If the front two teeth on the upper or lower jaw, then most likely the kidneys and bladder suffer along with them.
A painful 3rd tooth indicates a disorder in the liver and gallbladder.
Problems with the 4th and 5th lower teeth or the 6th and 7th upper teeth indicate problems in the stomach, pancreas and spleen.
The 4th and 5th upper teeth and also the 6th and 7th lower teeth indicate the condition of the colon and stomach.
Molar 8th teeth - wisdom teeth indicate a disturbance in the functioning of the heart and small intestine.
4. Stick out your tongue
Each zone on our tongue is a projection of a certain organ, and if some organ is affected, then the appearance and color of the tongue itself changes. A normal healthy tongue should be pale pink in color, have a smooth, soft fold and well-defined papillae. If a person is not healthy, then some areas on his tongue may become discolored or reddened, change shape, and the folds may become sharp and curved.
A coating on the tongue also indicates that something is wrong in the body: the thicker the coating, the more affected the corresponding organ is. It is believed that:
if the plaque is located at the base of the tongue, it means that the person’s gastrointestinal tract is clearly impaired, and if the plaque is on the tip of the tongue or along the edges, the lungs;
redness of the tip in the middle and a bluish or purple color of the tongue indicate a weak heart;
curvature of the fold at the tip of the tongue indicates cervical osteochondrosis, in the middle - lumbar;
cracks in the tongue can signal kidney pathology, blood diseases, metabolic disorders and hormonal imbalance;
spots on right side and yellowness on the tongue indicate problems with the liver and gall bladder, on the left side and in the middle - a sign of problems in the spleen.
5. About nails...
Nails carry information not only about those diseases. that already exist or will be, but also about those that were transferred in the past. The plate of a healthy nail is always transparent, it is pale pink in color, with a small light halo at the base. Knowing this, constantly monitor the condition of your nails, do not miss changes in their color - this indicates that there are some problems in the body. A change in the shape, structure or relief of the nail indicates an old disease, perhaps one that has already become chronic or a sign of severe stress that was experienced in the past.
Too large a halo size or, conversely, its complete absence indicates certain heart diseases.
Smooth, unnaturally convex nails occur in people with serious heart and lung diseases.
Flat, with longitudinal stripes and matte white - a sign of liver disease.
White and brown transverse stripes have appeared on the nails - you should pay attention to the buds.
A triangular nail, noticeably tapering towards the base, indicates diseases of the spine.
A very elongated nail is a signal of possible diabetes.
If the nail is dotted or riddled with grooves, the body most likely lacks vitamins.
Stripes, inclusions and holes on the nail call for attention to the intestines and spleen.
A bluish or yellowish color of the nail with a transverse or longitudinal groove indicates problems with the circulatory system and poor circulation.
Nail separation occurs with prolonged use of antibiotics and with serious disruptions in the functioning of the digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
6. What does our skin say?
Rash:
on the temples - a signal of problems with the gallbladder;
on the forehead, nose, upper lip and chin - problems in the intestines;
between the shoulder blades - ENT diseases;
just above the waist and in the center of the back - problems with the liver or gall bladder;
on the buttocks - the gastrointestinal tract and endocrine system;
on the chest - problems with the lungs or bronchi are likely;
on the shoulders - problems with the intestines.
6. What can your feet say...
On the feet, as well as on the tongue, projection zones of internal organs and systems are concentrated. Impact on these points is often used in acupuncture. One of the Chinese tortures involves beating the feet with bamboo sticks.
The yellow color of the feet indicates problems with the liver and gallbladder.
Calluses, spurs and deformities in different places of the foot and toes are not always caused by uncomfortable shoes. Often, this is how diseased organs can send a signal for help.
Horny skin on the heel and toes indicates metabolic disorders, hormonal disorders, and digestive problems.
Changes in the temperature and humidity of the feet, pain - a signal to check the functioning of the cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems.
By the way you look, you can easily determine the state of your body. Identify health problems that you may already have or are just developing. All you need is just to take a closer look at yourself and your loved ones.
The processes occurring in the human body are reflected in external qualities. As a rule, if a person is well, then his health is excellent, and vice versa. To understand whether a person is healthy, it is enough to pay attention to some signs.
Leather
A sign of good health is smooth, evenly colored, elastic skin. Healthy skin indicates that a person eats right, consumes enough vitamins and minerals and does not suffer from dehydration.
Excessive skin pallor, redness, acne, peeling may be a consequence of disturbances in the functioning of the body.
Hair
Hair healthy person should be thick, shiny, without split ends or dandruff. If the curls do not have these qualities, most likely the body lacks nutrients.
Eyes
A healthy person has a clear outlook. While the sight of a sick person often seems cloudy. Thick eyelashes and eyebrows, contrasting whites, clear irises: the main signs of healthy eyes. Changes in the color of the whites, clouding of the iris, bags and bruises under the eyes indicate some kind of illness.
Nails
The condition of your nails can also determine your level of health. Smooth, pink, hard nails indicate that a person is healthy. If spots, grooves or changes in nail color appear, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Body type
You can find out what a healthy person looks like by looking at Greek statues. These images are characterized by developed muscles, correct posture, absence of excess fat deposits. The Greeks knew a lot about physical beauty. It was no secret to them that physical activity and proper nutrition are the foundation on which human health is built.
Mental and emotional state
“In general, 9/10 of our happiness is based on health. With him, everything becomes a source of pleasure.” - this is what the famous German philosopher A. Schopenhauer said back in the nineteenth century. Mental and physical health closely related. This is explained by the fact that chemical processes, occurring inside the body, directly affect the state of the human psyche. And, on the contrary, strong emotional experiences can make changes in the functioning of internal organs.
Conclusion
A healthy person is a happy person. High spirits, confidence, calmness are signs of good health. Pleasant appearance is a consequence of health human body. Slim body, clear skin, good hair, clear eyes and a sincere smile - this is what a healthy person looks like.
There are several aspects that the concept of “healthy person” includes. All of them can be divided into three groups:
Psychological;
social;
physiological (biological).
The last factor is the most obvious. It reflects the state of the organs and systems of the body, which manifests itself not only at the functional level, but also externally.
Appearance of a healthy person
Researchers identify a number of appearance features that can be used to judge whether everything is fine or something wrong with a person’s health. Among the most pronounced external indicators are:
Skin: it should be rich in color, firm, elastic, smooth and free of all kinds of rashes; dull, reddened, flabby, excessively oily skin– a sign of violations;
Nails: first of all, they must be strong, with a smooth surface and not flake; color – pink, and in the regrown part – white or ivory;
Hair is an indicator of health nervous system and vital energy; thickness and shine are features that you should focus on; the presence of hair on the legs is also important indicator health;
Eyes: should be even, smooth, evenly pigmented and free of blemishes; spots, redness of the pupil, a yellowish color around it, bruises under the eyes and other changes may be evidence of problems with the stomach, heart, kidneys, etc.;
And the chin: in a healthy person they are well defined; this is a sign of good psychological endurance;
Shoulders: they should be proportional; shoulders one higher than the other indicate greater development of organs located on the side that is lower, or problems with the musculoskeletal system.
All these are the most obvious signs of a healthy person.
What factors influence a person’s health and appearance?
Among the factors that most strongly influence a person’s health (and, accordingly, his appearance) are the following:
Heredity;
ecology of the area of residence;
Lifestyle.
If the first two aspects do not depend on a person, then the third is completely in his hands. Maintenance healthy image life includes:
Physical activity;
compliance with the rules proper nutrition;
sleep lasting at least 6-8 hours;
refusal bad habits– taking drugs, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, etc.;
good psychological climate in the family.
Compliance with these rules is the key to a healthy appearance.
The program “About the Most Important Thing” brought me to this idea. Unfortunately, I turned on the TV late, and the program was about bags under the eyes. So I decided to search on the Internet myself to see how one can diagnose oneself based on external signs (to diagnose, of course, it sounds loud, but it will help to prompt you to think about your own well-being). And this is what I found. I’ll say right away that some things seemed to me not devoid of logic, but some made me laugh! SO:
Some internal illnesses have absolutely clear external signs. If, after a careful examination of your body, you see any of the signs described below, then this is a reason to consult a doctor for a more complete examination.
DETERMINATION OF DISEASES BY EXTERNAL SIGNS OF A HUMAN.
Let's start with human height
U tall people developed mental abilities, but they are predisposed to colds and nervous disorders. Physically and socially active short people often exhibit digestive and circulatory system. People with long and thick arms and legs are strong in mental health, they are very flexible in the social and intellectual sphere.
You should also pay attention to the shoulders: if a person has unbalanced shoulders (that is, one is higher than the other), then the organs located on the side where the shoulder is higher are weaker than those located on the side of the lower shoulder.
Sloping shoulders correspond to the feminine principle, a balanced nervous system, active physical and mental activity. People with square shoulders have a masculine character and a lot of physical health.
A person's activity depends on the length of his legs. People with short legs cannot sit for a long time - they love to walk and stand; They assimilate information better while standing. A long-legged person, on the contrary, cannot stand or walk for a long time; he has a constant desire to sit down.
Special attention should be paid to the fingers and toes:
* long fingers speak of a very emotional, receptive and aesthetic nature;
* short fingers - high resistance to others negative factors;
* the index finger is longer than the ring finger - there may be a congenital pathology of the large intestine;
* the index finger is equal in height to the middle finger and lower than the ring finger - heart or stomach diseases are likely;
* fingers equal in length indicate that their owner can perform complex manual work;
* fingers of different lengths are characteristic mainly of creative people - these people work not with their hands, but with their heads;
* the flexibility of the fingers has been lost - this means that the muscles, arteries and veins have hardened not only in the hands, but throughout the body.
Even by a person’s movements and gestures, you can understand what health problems he has:
If at walking the person bends his shoulders forward, as if protecting chest, and throws his head back, and also often clasps his hands on his stomach, this indicates diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, stomach ulcers, duodenal ulcers and gastritis.
In a person who constantly fidgets and changes frequently pose, most likely back problems: intervertebral hernia or osteochondrosis.
A clear picture of the disease in people suffering from joint diseases: arthritis or arthrosis. When walking, they hardly bend their legs, take very small steps, make an effort to sit down, and even more so to stand up.
If a person tries to barely move head, and even when you need to look to the side, the whole body turns, combined with pallor - this speaks of severe headaches and migraines. But if your head is tilted slightly to one side, this may be a symptom of inflammation of the neck muscles (myositis).
The person tries to keep the body straight, and even when bending, does not bend back, but moves the entire body forward. This may be a picture of ankylosing spondylitis.
An unsteady gait and constant search for support are a sign of problems with blood pressure, vegetative-vascular distance and dizziness.
A shuffling gait with a low head and shoulders indicates deep depression.
If when walking it feels like a person is stepping on hot coals, most likely he has gout or polyarthritis.
A cautious gait with hands pressed to the body, as if the walker is afraid of touching something, speaks of some kind of chronic pain syndrome.
Trembling hands indicate vascular pathology.
But even a barely noticeable trembling heads may be a sign of cerebral atherosclerosis or neurological problems.
Too active gestures and a nervous gait, even when a person is absolutely calm, speaks of possible neuroses and psychopathy.
Retardation of movements, low mobility, stiffness of the hands are the first symptoms of a mental disorder.
Hands my hands:
Each finger and toe corresponds to specific organs and functions. Often the appearance of the fingers reflects the functioning of these organs.
Fingers:
* thumb - lungs,
* index finger - large intestine,
* middle finger - vital energy, heart and reproductive function,
* ring finger - metabolic activity and release of excess energy from the heart, stomach, intestines,
* little finger - heart and small intestine.
Toes:
* first finger (thumb) - spleen, pancreas,
* second finger - stomach,
* third finger - stomach and duodenum,
* fourth finger - gallbladder,
* fifth finger - bladder.
Identify failures in digestive system possible using palms: Open your palm and press your fingers tightly together - if there are gaps between the fingers, then something is wrong. The same disease is indicated by the presence of warts on the hands. And if you open your palm and feel pain in its center, then you can assume general mental and physical fatigue.

Eyes
WHAT IS IRIDODIAGNOSTICS?
Iridology (from the Latin “iris” - iris) is informative survey, complementing traditional analyses. By the iris you can identify diseases of the spine, stomach, heart, ovaries or prostate, diabetes, asthma, rheumatism, a tendency to schizophrenia, hereditary diseases, assess the strength of immunity, give a prognosis of life expectancy. And although it is impossible to talk about a diagnosis exactly, it is possible to identify diseases on such early stages when it is still impossible to diagnose the disease using conventional methods.
WHY DOES THE IRIS DISPLAY DISEASE?
From the anatomy course we know that the eyes are part of the brain. Everything in the body is interconnected, so the state of the internal organs is reflected by the brain in a unique sign language. The iris is precisely that part of the eyes on which the entire chronicle of our health is “written”, starting from birth.
WHAT DOES EYE COLOR SAY?
If your eyes are light, this means that you have been given strong immunity from birth. In particular, blue-eyed people find it easy to drink vodka. The roots of this phenomenon go back to ancient times, when the blue-eyed Slavs drank this traditional drink like water, which was passed on to their heirs genetically. Black- and brown-eyed people cannot do this - their livers are weaker. So, by the way, you can recognize the Tatar origin of those with mixed eye color: if 200 g makes you feel ill, then your ancestors are from the East.
If the color of the eyes changes, for example, from blue to green, this indicates illness and slagging in the body.
From birth different colour an eye, for example, one eye is brown, the other is green - says that their owner is an unbalanced type.
WHAT CAN YOU FIND OUT BY YOUR EYES?
To examine your iris, sit in front of the light and take a magnifying glass in one hand and a mirror in the other. Pay attention to:
1. Iris density
The dense iris resembles the eye of a child's doll: even, smooth, evenly pigmented, without spots. If the iris is dense in the eyes, this is a sign of excellent heredity, endurance, and strong immunity. After illnesses and operations, your health is likely to be restored quickly and completely. There is a good chance that you will live to be 80-85 years old, and maybe even 90.
A loose iris indicates “average” heredity. Under great mental and physical stress, such people may experience nervous breakdowns, excessive irritability, headaches, heart pain, and spasms. various organs, depression. But if the rhythm of your life is moderate, if you do not “throw your health to the mercy of fate,” then without special problems You will live to at least 75-80 years.
A very loose iris, in which the fibers are split and there are many “holes”, is a sign weak immunity, low degree of endurance. Even with minor stress or stress, nervous breakdowns and the occurrence of diseases are possible. But nevertheless, you have a chance to live to 70-75 years.
2. Color drawings
There is a yellowish color around the pupil - a sign of slagging in the intestines, liver, and gall bladder.
A white arc along the edge of the iris is a sure sign that you suffer from atherosclerosis. If in its upper part there is atherosclerosis of the cerebral vessels, in the lower part - of the vessels of the legs.
Half rings or rings passing through the entire surface of the iris, around the pupil, indicate that you are a sensitive person, but you hold negative emotions, resentments, and tension within yourself. The nervous and cardiovascular systems suffer from this mental stress.
Spots indicate disorders in specific organs. In order to determine where the disease “sits”, look at the diagram of the projections of the internal organs and try to determine in which organ these spots are located.
GEOGRAPHY OF THE IRIS
If you divide the iris into sectors and imagine it in the form of a watch dial, you can see your entire body. For example, on the right iris of the eye
From 11 to 12 o'clock the work of the brain is reflected; in the center of the dial, near the pupil, there is the stomach and intestines;
From 13 to 15 hours - nasopharynx and trachea;
From 16 to 17 hours - spine;
From 17 to 18 hours - genitourinary system: ureter Bladder and kidneys;
From 18:00 to 19:00 - appendages;
About 20 hours - liver and gall bladder;
In the middle between 20 and 21 o'clock - mammary gland;
From 21 to 22 o'clock - lungs;
About 22 - thyroid gland;
From 22 to 22.30 - ear.
The left shell is a mirror image of the right one.
Watery eyes indicate a deficiency of potassium in the body, dilated pupils indicate nervousness and anxiety. Redness of the eyes indicates a disorder blood pressure, often intracerebral.
Redness gla h, which appears during fever, indicates long-term damage to the abdomen.
Bags under the eyes are often a symptom of certain diseases. For example, they may indicate problems with the kidneys or thyroid gland. Moreover, if bags under the eyes are a consequence of any disease, then even after recovery they will not go away.
Other signs of illness in appearance person:
Double chin indicates poor digestion.
plump cheeks usually with indigestion.
If red cheeks forms a sharply limited intense red spot on the cheekbones - this means the lungs begin to collapse.
By complexion:
A bluish-green complexion is a sign of liver pathology.
Sallow complexion - in people suffering from diseases of the stomach, spleen, pancreas.
Pallor skin indicates disease of the large intestine.
A red complexion often indicates heart disease, while a white complexion often indicates lung disease.
A reddish tint to the skin of the face and body is characteristic of diseases of the heart, pericardium and systems associated with it.
Blackish tint to the face - with diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
A blue complexion indicates diseases of the stomach and spleen.
A yellow complexion indicates liver and gallbladder diseases.
A bloodless complexion with yellowness suggests that the patient has cancer.
Brown red neck indicates inflammation of the organs of the lower abdomen (if the place where you run your finger immediately returns to its previous color).
Thickened back of the head indicates tinnitus, headaches, illnesses spinal cord, mental disorders.
Redness on the bulge breasts indicates inflammation of the head or chest.
. Smell acetone from the mouth indicates liver problems
. Face glitters forehead darkish - signs of a disorder in the hormonal system.
Strong pain in a stomach, hair loss from the head and beard indicate that the spleen is diseased.
Pigmentation on the face
in a woman after childbirth indicates that the woman has a uterine disease.
Men whose testicles are affected have a dry cough and a hoarse, low voice.
Trembling language indicates a disorder of the mind.
Consider the language:
Language always bears the imprint of one or another internal organ. And it can tell you a lot about your health. It’s not for nothing that they say: the tongue is the mirror of the body.
So a bright pink, moist tongue with a thin white coating of mucus and saliva indicates that you are absolutely healthy.
A red tongue without plaque is the first sign of dehydration.
A pale tongue indicates a slow metabolism.
Grayish-purple - indicates poor circulation.
If the tongue is covered with a yellow coating, this is a sign of indigestion or other digestive disorders.
It’s not in vain that oriental medicine The tongue is considered the most sensitive “window of the body,” so to speak, a mirror of the body’s health. And through it you can influence internal organs(heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs).
Please note that fresh breath depends 70% on the condition of the tongue. And some don’t even think about it and look for problems where there are none.
By the way, if the tongue often bleeds, this means that the body urgently needs vitamin C; if it is rough, dry and has acquired a purple-red color, it lacks vitamin B2; if it is bloody-cyanotic, it lacks vitamin B3.
A healthy person has pink nails. If, when pressing on the patient's nail, the pink color, the disease must be treatable. Otherwise, the disease is at a dangerous stage.
Black-gray spots on the nail are signs of mercury intoxication.
White spots on the nail are a disorder of the nervous system.
Dirty gray coloration of nails indicates congenital syphilis.
Cyanotic or blue color of nails indicates congenital heart defects.
Yellowish nails indicate some brain disorders.
Pale nail color is usually due to anemia.
Pale red nails indicate individual diseases blood.
Dark brown coloration of the nails indicates a prolonged, severe fever.
When nails are yellow, liver disease occurs.
Greenish-purulent coloring of nails is usually due to purulent processes.
Here we come to the feet:
Various foot problems can be very unpleasant consequences for any part of the human body. Even minor foot pain that causes you to walk more slowly can lead to weight gain throughout your entire body, not to mention loss of coordination, which in turn can lead to falls and fractures. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. You can gain much more knowledge if you study the following information about our feet:
Toenails slightly embedded in the skin, leaving a spoon-shaped indentation in the toes
What could this mean? A spoon-like, almost concave dorsal surface of the ends of the toes, with nails deeply recessed into it, very often indicates anemia (that is, anemia, or iron deficiency). These signs are especially pronounced in severe cases of anemia. The reason for this is usually a lack of hemoglobin and iron-rich protein in the blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen. Internal bleeding and difficult menstrual periods in women can also cause anemia.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: unhealthy pallor may appear on the nails and on the very end phalanges of the fingers (no matter the arms or legs). Nails may be too fragile and break frequently. Sometimes a person’s feet get cold even in warm periods. These are all signs of anemia, as are fatigue, difficulty breathing, dizziness (even when you're just standing), and headaches.
What needs to be done? You need to go through full analysis blood, because it is this that will most accurately diagnose anemia. An examination by a physiotherapist will help identify the causes of the disease. The first measures aimed at curing this disease include the introduction of drugs fortified with iron and a special diet that will allow the body to replenish the lack of iron and vitamin C (which promotes faster dissolution of iron in the body).
Lack of hair on legs and toes
What could this mean? Poor circulation, which is often caused by vascular diseases, can cause lack of hair on the legs. For example, when the heart loses its ability to pump enough blood to the outermost parts of the body due to arteriosclerosis (also called hardening of the arteries), the body is forced to set its own priorities. And leg hair obviously has a low priority, which is why it starts falling out in the first place.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: Reduced blood circulation is also characterized by the fact that it becomes difficult to feel the pulse in the area of the feet (if everything is in order, you can always check your pulse by placing your hand on the inside of the ankle, just above the foot). When a person with poor circulation stands, their feet darken slightly (or take on a slight reddish color). If he lifts his leg, the foot will immediately turn pale. The skin of such people looks polished. As a rule, people with poor circulation already know that they have certain problems with their cardiovascular system. They may suffer from various types of heart disease and carotid artery disease, but may not be aware of poor circulation.
What should I do? Vascular treatment will help correct the situation lower limbs. Despite the fact that hair on the legs and toes rarely grows back, the treatment does not become less effective.
Frequent leg cramps
What could this mean? Sharp, knife-like pain in the foot - and, in essence, pinched muscles - can signal dehydration, or that you have exposed your feet to severe physical activity. If cramps occur too often, this may indicate that your diet does not have enough foods rich in calcium, potassium, or magnesium. These types of cramps are common in pregnant women in the last three months of pregnancy. This happens due to an increase in the volume of circulating blood in the body and at the same time a deterioration in blood flow to the feet.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: spasms (cramps) of the muscles of the feet and legs happen very unexpectedly; as a rule, a person can generally lie in a relaxed state. These can be either single contractions or wave-like rolling spasms that pass gradually. Often the pain from them can persist for a long time.
What should I do? Try to bend your leg and massage the area where the pain is felt. You can also try to relieve the tension by applying an ice pack to your foot, or rubbing your foot with a strong alcohol solution. To prevent cramps, you need to stretch your legs a little before going to bed. It wouldn't hurt to go for a walk fresh air. Also drink a glass of warm milk before bed - this will add calcium to your body.
Sores on the bottom of the foot that are slow to heal
What could this mean? This is the main symptom of diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels lead to damage to the nerve endings in the feet. Usually, slight peeling of the skin of the feet, small cuts, or irritation caused by uncomfortable or tight shoes is not paid attention to. If a person does not know that he has diabetes, he also does not pay due attention to these damages. Meanwhile, in his case, this can lead to catastrophic consequences (even amputation), since in diabetic patients such wounds become inflamed very quickly, spreading the infection throughout the body.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: Festering cuts that emit an unpleasant odor should alert anyone, since such signs are possible only if these cuts have not healed for a long time. Other signs that may indicate the presence of a disease such as diabetes include constant thirst, frequent urination, increased fatigue, blurred vision, excessive hunger and weight loss.
What should I do? You should immediately treat any sores or cuts on your legs and make an appointment with your doctor to be tested for diabetes. Diabetics should generally examine their feet daily. It is often very difficult for elderly people, or very obese people, to do this, and therefore there must be someone who will help them with this. In addition, diabetics should see their doctor regularly.
Cold feet
What could this mean? Very often (more often than men) the weaker sex complains about their cold feet (however, perhaps it is men who complain about the cold feet of their women!). This may mean absolutely nothing, or it may indicate the presence of certain problems with the thyroid gland. The temperature in the very center of the female body is slightly lower than in male body, which in principle makes them more susceptible to the slightest cold snap (even if they are quite healthy). On the other hand, women over forty who complain of cold feet very often suffer from problems with the thyroid gland, which regulates the body's temperature and is responsible for metabolic processes in the body (metabolism). In addition, cold feet (in both sexes) can indicate poor blood circulation.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: symptoms of hypothyroidism (diseases related to the thyroid gland) are very difficult to diagnose. Sometimes they are very difficult to identify, since their manifestation is not characterized by any periodicity or other signs by which they could be easily identified. But you need to know that these may include increased fatigue, depression, weight loss, and dry skin.
What should I do? Clothing made from natural materials that retain heat well is perfect in this case. For example, wool socks and insulated shoes. If you still feel discomfort from cold feet after this, you should consult a doctor. However, unfortunately, the doctor is unlikely to be able to identify any other cause of cold feet other than problems with the thyroid gland. In all other cases, the only explanation will be the specific temperature balance of your body.
Unpleasant-looking, thick, yellow, too even toenails
What could this mean? This may indicate that a fungal infection has spread under the nails. Onychomyco can develop in this mode for years. Moreover, this can happen absolutely painlessly. By the time it becomes distinguishable, giving unpleasant look your toenails, even your fingernails may become infected.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: nails can often have an unpleasant odor and become dark color. Diabetics fall into the category of the most vulnerable people who are most susceptible to such an infection; people with poor circulation, or people whose body is in a state of immunodeficiency (for example, patients with rheumatoid arthritis). Sometimes, when an elderly person has difficulty moving, this may be due to the fact that his infected nails have become thicker and wider, grown into the skin, and have become impossible to cut without causing severe pain.
What should be done? In this case, it is necessary to constantly be monitored by an appropriate specialist. In the most serious cases, when conventional antifungal drugs do not help, patients are prescribed additional medications to be taken orally. Besides this, it is possible professional removal neglected areas of skin affected by fungus. However, thanks to the fact that medicine is last years has made great progress in this direction, modern antifungal drugs internal use They turn out to be very effective and do not cause serious side effects (unlike drugs of previous years).
Thumb suddenly swollen to an alarmingly large size
What could this mean? Gout (a disease caused by a metabolic disorder, primarily affecting the joints) is quite possible. Yes, no matter how old-fashioned the name of this disease sounds, people still suffer from gout. And not necessarily people of very old age - most of them are not even 65. Essentially, gout is a form of arthritis (it is also called gouty arthritis), which occurs due to an excess of uric acid in the body. Uric acid, which is a natural substance, forms needle-like crystals, especially at low temperatures. And the lowest temperature in human body, of course, in the part farthest from the heart - in the big toes. “If, in most cases, when you wake up, you find that your big toe is very swollen and has a bright red color, then this can be regarded as the first signs of gout,” explains the above-mentioned Jane Andersen, MD.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: swelling; shiny (shiny) or purplish skin, along with a feeling of heat and pain in the instep, Achilles tendon, knees, and elbows. Few people get gout, although men over 40-50 years of age are more prone to the disease. In women, exacerbation of gout occurs, often after menopause.
What should I do? Contact your doctor, who will likely prescribe you a special diet that will help control your gout attacks. A good orthopedic specialist will help the patient relieve pain attacks and restore the functionality of the fingers if it has been lost.
Loss of sensation in both feet
What could this mean? Lack of sensation in the feet, or, conversely, a tingling sensation in the heels, may indicate the presence of a disease such as peripheral neuropathy. Damage to the peripheral nervous system cannot be ruled out. This is how the body transmits information about disorders from the brain and spinal cord to the corresponding part of the body. Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by many things, but the two most likely are diabetes and alcohol dependence (current or past). In addition, this may be the result of chemotherapy.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: A tingling or burning sensation may also be felt in the hands and may gradually spread to the palms and down the body (legs). Because of the decreased sensitivity that often accompanies this condition, these tingling sensations may be similar to those felt when putting warm wool socks on bare feet or wool gloves on hands.
What should I do? It is imperative to consult a doctor so that he can accurately determine the cause of this disease (especially in cases where alcohol is clearly not the cause). In general, peripheral neuropathy has no current treatment, but there are a large number of painkillers and antidepressants that can relieve pain and relieve symptoms.
Damaged skin between toes
What could this mean? ABOUT rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory disease connective tissue with predominantly vascular damage) or osteoarthritis (arthritis with damage to the articular ends of bones). These diseases are felt primarily in small joints, such as, for example, the knuckles.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: pain accompanied by swelling of the fingers and numbness (loss of mobility). As a rule, in the presence of this disease, the pain is symmetrical, that is, it occurs simultaneously in both big toes (or in both index fingers hands). Rheumatoid arthritis often develops unexpectedly (unlike degenerative arthritis); attacks of pain may appear and also disappear unexpectedly. Women are approximately four times more likely than men to develop this disease.
What should I do? In order to assign correct treatment, in the case of this disease, a detailed examination is always required (as in the case of any other joint disease). There are many therapeutic techniques and medications to relieve pain and restore joint functionality in rheumatoid arthritis; although the most successful option is when, thanks to an early diagnosis, it is possible to avoid deformation of the limbs (with this disease, the big toes often begin to grow incorrectly).
Toenails are dotted with dimples
What could this mean? In almost half of cases of psoriasis, people's nails indicate the presence of this disease. As a rule, we are talking about a large number of small holes - deep and not very deep. More than three-quarters of people with psoriatic arthritis (a disease similar to psoriasis, but affecting the joints in addition to the skin) also have pockmarked nails with small holes.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: the nails of a sick person also become thicker (both on the feet and on the hands). They may have a brownish-yellowish tint, and may be characterized by orange-pink patches. The joints of the fingers closer to the nails are usually covered with dry, red, inflamed skin.
What should I do? Specialist intervention and serious treatment are required. Thanks to the achievements of modern medicine, there are now many medications and techniques that can successfully treat both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. In many cases (especially if treatment was started in the early stages of the disease), the nails and the skin under and around the nails are restored.
Impossible to rise on your heels
What could this mean? Drop foot (or as it is also called, foot drop) is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a lesion peroneal nerve. It is characterized by the inability to lift the foot, which seriously complicates walking. This can also signal certain damage to the spinal cord - then the problem may be located far from the foot: in the back, forearm, or even in the cervical vertebrae. Often, the reason that a person cannot raise his toes while walking or stand on the back of his foot may be chemotherapy administered with certain medications.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: pain in the feet and numbness are possible, but not necessary. Sometimes the pain spreads upward, striking top part thighs, or the lower part of the spine, where the pinched nerve is located, the cause of which may be, for example, a vertebral hernia. Sometimes a sick person drags their feet when walking, although it has rarely been observed that the disease affects both lower limbs at once.
What should I do? It is necessary to inform the doctor about all unpleasant and alarming symptoms. Drop foot may be permanent or completely reversible, depending on the causes of the disease and treatment methods.
Dry, flaky skin on the feet
What could this mean? Dry, flaky skin on your feet should be much more of a concern for anyone than dry, flaky skin on your hands or even your face. The fact is that this may indicate the presence of athlete's foot - a fungal disease in which the skin of the feet, initially dry and flaky, subsequently becomes inflamed and blisters. When these blisters burst, the infection spreads further throughout the body. This disease is often called "athlete's foot", referring to the fact that it is more likely to catch this infection in places such as the floor of a locker room in a gym, or in a swimming pool.
Additional signs that indicate the presence of this disease: Athlete's foot usually begins to appear between the toes. The fungus can then spread to the soles of your feet and even to other parts of the body (such as the armpits or groin). The affected areas itch, and scratching causes the infection to spread very quickly throughout the body.
What should I do? Mild cases of infection can be cured on your own by simply washing your feet more often and drying them. And in the future, you should try to avoid moisture, for which you need to put a special anti-sweat and odor powder in your shoes and even in your socks. If there is no improvement within two weeks, or, on the contrary, the infection begins to spread further, then you need to consult a doctor who will prescribe other ointments or medications for internal use.
Toe color changes
What could this mean? In cold weather, the so-called Raynaud's phenomenon, or vibration disease (a disease in which the tone of the blood vessels) leads to the fact that the toes turn white, then acquire a bluish tint; then they gradually turn red and only then acquire their natural color. For a reason that is not yet fully understood, periodic spasms of blood vessels occur, which, in fact, cause such a riot of colors.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: in the presence of this disease (Raynaud's phenomenon), a similar “play of colors” can also be observed in other parts of the body. The nose, fingers, lips, and earlobes can change colors. They feel cold to the touch and there is a tingling sensation. Women are at greater risk of developing this disease than men, especially those who live in cold climates. Raynaud's phenomenon usually occurs in people under 25 or after 40. Stressful situations can also provoke the occurrence of this disease.
What should I do? It is necessary to consult with a specialist in order to choose the right drug to dilate blood vessels. Proper treatment will help eliminate or mitigate the symptoms of the disease.
Severe pain in the feet when walking
What could this mean? A stress fracture (that is, a fracture of the bones of the foot or, as it is also called, marching foot), if you do not consult a doctor in time and do not receive a correct diagnosis, can be the cause of such pain. Discomfort can be felt locally, on the sides of the feet, above the soles; or your entire foot may hurt. These fractures - they occur quite often and unexpectedly - can cause another serious problem. We are talking about osteopenia (a disorder of osteogenesis), when the density of bone tissue decreases, and, accordingly, its strength. This is most often observed in women after 50 years of age. Sometimes this can be caused by poor nutrition, vitamin D deficiency, problems with calcium absorption, or anorexia.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: very often a person can walk for a long time on such feet; the pain is simply unbearable. However, some people with a high pain threshold may not know about these fractures for years because they rarely see a doctor.
What should I do? Any pain in your feet should make you immediately go to the doctor. Of course, if you made a multi-kilometer forced march for three days over rough terrain and in bad shoes, then the cause of the pain is clear even without a doctor. However, if such pain occurs, for example, in a woman about 55 years old who mainly does sedentary work, then, of course, an examination of the bones of the feet is required. A regular x-ray can reveal the cause of such pain and enable the doctor to prescribe the correct treatment, which should undoubtedly help.
Thickening of the terminal phalanges of the toes
What could this mean? When terminal phalanges the toes thicken significantly, the fingers lose their natural flexibility, acquiring unnatural, we can talk about the presence of the so-called drumstick symptom (it is also called Hippocrates’ fingers, since it was the great ancient Greek physician who first described this phenomenon 2000 years ago). These symptoms may indicate the presence of various chronic lung diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis, or even lung cancer. Also, the causes of the drumstick symptom can be heart disease, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (the so-called Crohn's disease) and others.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: the fingers undergo the same changes as the toes. All fingers may be affected, or only some.
What should I do? Treatment depends on the underlying causes of the disease. This means that only a doctor can prescribe treatment. In addition, during the treatment process, it is necessary to regularly see a specialist so that he can correct its entire course.
Shooting pain in heels
What could this mean? Plantar fasciitis (heel spur) - name inflammatory process connective tissue (fascia) that extends along the plantar part of the foot. In this case, there is abnormal tension in the tissue at the site of attachment to the heel tubercle.
Additional signs indicating the presence of this disease: Pain begins in the morning, when you take your first steps, and often intensifies during the day. It is usually concentrated in the heels (one or both), but can also be felt on the top or back of the foot. The reason for this may be strong physical activity - running or jumping, but not only. Sometimes this is observed in those people who walk a lot barefoot; wears old shoes or light flip-flops; this can affect people who are rapidly gaining weight; or those who are forced to walk a lot on small stones.
What should I do? If the pain persists for several weeks, or even intensifies, you should definitely visit an orthopedic doctor. Switch to shoes with low but firm (supportive) soles during treatment. The treatment itself may involve wearing special shoes and taking medications that will help relieve inflammation.
BAD SIGNS IN THE PATIENT.
Loss of speech with hiccups in severe illness.
The appearance of parotid tumors in paralyzed patients.
Blue spots that appear with fever.
Pain in the groin with fever indicates a long and severe illness.
Bleeding on the opposite side of the body, such as bleeding from the right nostril, usually occurs with a diseased spleen.
Beating and pain in the jugular vein during fever ends in dysentery.
SIGNS OF IMMEDIATE DEATH IN A PERSON (Horror!!!).
Sudden loss of vision due to severe illness.
Bleeding from the mouth, nose, ears, eyes, genitals, rectum during a long illness.
If a seriously ill patient has changed skin color, the shine of the eyes is lost, they wrinkle ears, nostrils flatten, breathing becomes impaired.
The appearance of black pimples on the tongue during acute fever.
When patients are already weakened, they cannot see, cannot hear, their lips, eyes or nose are twisted.
Cold, transparent and tight ears.
Bluish, cracked tongue.
Black or yellow tongue.
Blue lips, eyelids or nose.
If in tuberculosis patients the sputum thrown into the fire spreads the unpleasant smell of burnt meat.
If tuberculosis patients experience hair loss.
Various tips (Smile - especially the last tip!!!).
The patient will have an unfavorable course of the disease if he falls ill during the spring or autumn equinox, as well as during the summer or winter solstice, that is, June 22 or December 22.
The most favorable time for surgical operations is during the new month.
Unfavorable time for surgical interventions- full moon, and especially unfavorable - the first quarter after the full moon.
In order to determine whether you have protein in your urine, you need to urinate into an enamel mug, put it on low heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and see if white flakes appear in your urine, it means your kidneys are sick (protein coagulates when heated).
To determine the presence of sugar in urine, our ancestors did the following. We urinated near an anthill. If there was sugar in the urine, then ants crawled towards it.
Here are some other signs of specific diseases:
1. Signs of diabetes mellitus:
- brown or black pigmentation in the armpits or back of the neck is a signal that you have a fairly high risk of developing diabetes;
Small red dots on the lower leg are a sign of diabetes;
Dark or bluish spots on the toes are a sign of advanced diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus occurs as a result of a lack of the hormone insulin, resulting in an increase in glucose levels in the blood. Diabetes mellitus can lead to vision loss, myocardial infarction, stroke, renal failure and even amputation of limbs. Usually, diabetes occurs in overweight people, so try to get rid of extra pounds.
2. Thyroid gland dysfunction.
If you have very dry, flaky skin, cracked heels, and active hair loss, these may be signs of a low thyroid function - hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism entails hormonal imbalance. A blood test for thyroid hormones will help clarify the situation.
Sometimes, signs of thyroid disease don't look like symptoms at all. dangerous disease, but on the contrary, as signs of a person bursting with health. We are talking about the peculiar behavior and appearance of a sick person: he becomes active, more cheerful, his eyes sparkle, and there is a perky blush on his face, besides, he loses weight and looks slimmer.
Upon closer observation of such a person, it is noted that the shine of his eyes is by no means healthy, and weight loss occurs rapidly and uncontrollably. This occurs as a result of increased thyroid function. Due to an imbalance of hormones secreted by the thyroid gland, thyroid diseases develop.
Common signs of thyroid disease may include the following:
When hormone levels increase: sharp and sudden loss weight, rapid heartbeat (cause of tachycardia), tearfulness, hand tremors, increased sweating, irritability.
When hormone levels decrease: general weakness, fast fatiguability, decrease blood pressure, hair loss, slow heartbeat, swelling and weight gain, dry skin.
The normal functioning of the thyroid gland affects the body's metabolism. When the function of the thyroid gland changes, metabolism increases or slows down. Thyroid disease is a common phenomenon. In many cases, it occurs unnoticed by the patient.
A sign of thyroid disease can be a complete change in a person's character and behavior. For reasons unknown to him, he becomes restless, conflictual, and aggressive. A person is easily offended, becomes whiny, and uncompromising. A person with a thyroid disease becomes fussy, finds it difficult to sit in one place, and worries about something all the time.
His appetite does not change; sometimes, on the contrary, it even increases. At the same time, his body weight becomes inversely proportional to his appetite - he eats enough, but his weight is rapidly decreasing. It is difficult for a person to explain his excessive emotionality. He cannot cope with his absent-mindedness and loss of concentration.
In conversations, he often gets lost in his thoughts and constantly changes the topic of conversation. A person with a thyroid disease often suffers from dizziness, it often seems to him that there is not enough air, he is in a pre-fainting state. A very characteristic sign of thyroid disease is swelling of the lower part of the neck and the appearance of an unnatural shine in the eyes.
If the gland itself begins to increase in size, then this phenomenon cannot go unnoticed by a person. In this case, they appear characteristic features diseases of the thyroid gland: girdling pain in the neck, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, and the voice becomes hoarse. A dangerous sign development becomes cervical lymphadenitis, which may cause malignant formation in the body of the thyroid gland. In such cases, you should immediately contact an endocrinologist.
3. Celiac disease.
Pustular rashes on the buttocks and flexor surfaces are very often a sign of celiac disease. Celiac disease is gluten intolerance. Gluten is a protein found in all grains except buckwheat, rice, corn and millet. With celiac disease, almost all internal organs can be affected. A blood test for certain antibodies can confirm or refute the diagnosis.
4. Disease of the circulatory system.
If you have bruises on your body that are not associated with injury, this may be a sign of a circulatory system disease. The diagnosis is also verified by taking a blood test.
But do not forget that an accurate diagnosis and, especially, treatment can only be established by an experienced doctor!!!

There is no need to confuse the two concepts:
- Mental disorder;
- Mental illness.
Get upset everyone can, due to hormonal levels, changes in the body, a bad situation, total bad luck and many other factors and reasons.
The main indicator of “upset” is temporary.
With illness everything is much worse, here “temporality” is replaced by “timelessness”. cure mental illness almost impossible.
If a person is sure that he is Napoleon, this is forever. At best, it can be stuffed with drugs, given a course of electric shock treatment and turned into a vegetable. But the vegetables are simply silent and do not move. That's why we don't know what's in their heads.
To determine in advance whether a person is sick, you need to know the main signs of the disease. We will talk about this in the article.
Drastic personality change
We all change little by little, and our environment, time, experience and interests change us. This is normal: a person loses something, gains something.
But if in an instant a person has changed dramatically, then this is an alarming signal.
For example, the bank clerk who left work like this and came to work the next day in a Pokemon costume. Of course, this could be a joke, an answer to a lost argument, or a costume party.
If there are no visible reasons for a radical transformation, there are hidden motives.
You don’t know about them, but if a person is not just in a Pokemon costume, but considers himself one, then the matter is serious. Let him get into the role and prove his artistry to everyone, but soon his passion should end.
If the fuse does not end, this is clearly the first sign of mental illness.
At first, it may seem that a person has neglected his responsibilities and his daily functions. He simply forgot that he was supposed to do something and did not remember at all how to do it.
A bank clerk who comes to work, but when he sees the reports that he only completed halfway through yesterday, comes into complete stupor. He doesn't understand how he did it yesterday. He has completely lost his skill.
Absurd ideas
All the signs need to be taken by the company, and not pulled out one of them and draw hasty conclusions based only on it. This applies to this feature. The absurdity in an idea can be seen by the surrounding society if it is simply not mature enough to understand such an idea.
They say about many geniuses that they were born before their era. The world was not yet ready to accept their ideas.
Consequently, such people were considered not just eccentrics, but madmen, sorcerers and devils.
- In my time Giordano Bruno made a number of discoveries that were ahead of the era in which he lived. He said that stars are the suns of other galaxies, and there are an infinite number of galaxies in the universe. Only after 300 years, a monument was erected in honor of the legendary scientist at the place of execution.
- Galileo was the same, but lived to be 77 years old, since he renounced his discoveries in time. He denied that the earth was round and revolved around the sun, which at one time was motionless.
- A Nikola Tesla? Only recently have people started going crazy about electric vehicles, but it was invented almost a hundred years ago. Tesla died in 1943 in complete poverty, leaving 300 inventions to his descendants.
An infinite number of examples can be given, we think that the essence is already clear. We cross out geniuses born in a different age from this attribute.
A clerk in a Pokemon costume wanders around the office, greeting every folder, report and colleague with a blank stare. Then he will start offering crazy ideas. He brushes off objections and says that he came up with a spell.
But it is possible for a healthy person to distinguish absurd ideas from those that do not lack meaning.
Deepest apathy
It is characteristic of a healthy person. The main thing is to retreat into yourself for a while and come out on time and full of strength.
It happens that a healthy person confuses day with night. There are certain reasons for this. But when a person sleeps during the day, stays awake at night, eats every 10 minutes or does not eat for days - this may be neurosis, but in combination with other signs - a mental illness.
Hostility
Hatred of everything and everyone. When everything said and done, and not said and not done, enrages you.
Mentally ill people hate everyone because everyone does not fit into the reality of the sick.
Hallucinations
They can be both auditory and visual. A person sees something and hears something. There are mediums, psychics and sorcerers who have this ability. They hear the voices of dead people and see ghosts. It's another matter when a person talks to an imaginary friend.
A sick person does not understand what death is. He plays. For example, he may decide that he is flying away tomorrow, so today he must say goodbye to everyone, complete all his business and distribute things.
