It is believed that the eyes are the mirror of the soul. But doctors consider nails to be a mirror of the human body. Throughout our lives, nails continuously grow at a rate of 0.1 millimeters per day. Nine months are needed for their full recovery (from root to tip).

The appearance of dents, furrows and spots speaks of various types of diseases of the body, poisoning, lack of certain substances, especially vitamins, etc.
Thin right furrows appear if a person has a habit of biting his nails, and also in the presence of a lot of care, in case of great fear or exhausting work. The single furrow that appeared on the surface of the nail indicates that some inflammatory process or trauma is taking place in the body. Crossing furrows are formed during severe diseases and operations and during mental stress.

Some of them break the gloss of the nails and cause inflammation. Gloves should be used in this case.
