Effective stones for taking care of your nails
Our nails are made up of 3 parts
- The nail tablet, a hard and compact plate of keratin.
- The nail bed (under the tablet) is pink in healthy people, because it is well irrigated.
- The nail matrix, located under the lunula (the white crescent-shaped part). It is she who produces keratin
Like hair , nails are mainly made up of keratin fibers , that is to say dead cells; we cannot therefore feed them locally.
The good health of our nails directly depends on a good diet . Dietary deficiencies can harm the health and strength of the nail. Vitamins, calcium and mineral salts (iron, iodine, silicon, magnesium, zinc) are particularly important.
The two common nail problems:
Nail fungus
Toenails are a target for fungus , particularly the big toe . If the nail takes on a yellowish or brownish color, thickens, or becomes friable, you should consult a doctor, because in addition to the aesthetic aspect, this fungus risks spreading a particularly contagious disease, onychomycosis.
To avoid the appearance of these fungi, dry your feet well , avoid walking barefoot especially in damp public places (swimming pool, etc.), choosing leather shoes remains the best prevention.
Ingrown toenail
An ingrown nail (the nail gradually sinks into the soft parts) is often due to the bad habit of cutting your nails too short , or to shoes that are too narrow . Consult a podiatrist to avoid any risk of infection.
In this article we will offer you a list of lithotherapy stones with benefits for fighting fungus and nail fungus.
