Vertical ridging of nails

March 12, 2006

Does anyone know the cause of vertical nail ridges? I used to just have them on my thumbnails as long as I can remember---but now all my nails are like that. I'm certain it's some sort of diet insufficiency but have no idea what. Mineral imbalance maybe? Thoughts?

The book: Prescription for Nutritional Healing by James and Phyllis Balch says on page 251 that lengthwise grooves or ridges may indicate a kidney disorder and is associated with aging. An iron deficiency may also cause ridges.

Re: Vertical ridging of nails

So far in responses I've got zinc, potassium and iron deficiency--also low thyroid. Of these I have low thyroid and iron deficiency--I think the two go together. So at this point I'm leaning in that direction.lynn sheer <bigotterwv wrote:

LET me try again to post these sites.

And:

It should not be a big problem to see why something is

not quite right with fingernails, hair, skin or

anything else. Look to what you PUT IN to your body

and look to cleansing the colen.

hypothyroidism... This is common among those that are hypothyroid. I

here it often on the various thyroid boards I'm on. I'm not low on

iron... so its not that for me and I have deep ridges on all my

nails... I have to keep my nails short because the ridges tend to

split once they grow much. The ridges are real thin.

You mentioned diet and colon cleansing. With hypoT one has such slow

metabolism... it could very well be because we are not absorbing the

nutrients or cleaning our colons as we should.

On the Ayurveda list someone mentioned it was due to Zinc deficiency, but I have plenty of zinc and still have ridges - i felt it was partly hereditary and partly a slight arthritic condition in the thumb bases which reduces blood and nerve supply & Qi to the nail bed.

that sounds more like it to me
