Most people don’t know the meaning of the half moon at the base of the nails

When to See a Doctor About Nail Changes

Consult a professional if you notice:

• Sudden nail color changes
• Pain or swelling near the nail base
• Nail separation
• Severe ridging or deformity
• Changes combined with fatigue or illness

Nails change slowly, so persistent changes matter more than temporary ones.

The lunula has fascinated people for centuries because:

• It’s visible yet mysterious
• It reflects growth
• It changes subtly over time

But its greatest lesson is simple:
👉 Small details can reflect long-term patterns, not instant truths.
