First of all, the texture of the middle finger. If you touch your middle finger, if the meat is tender and elastic, it means that the liver is functioning normally. Because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main tendon, which is closely related to the health of tendons and muscles. If the middle finger is floppy or stiff, it may indicate a problem with liver function and needs attention.
Secondly, the color of the middle finger. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to the comprehensive observation of tongue coating, face color, etc. to judge the health status of the liver, and the color of the middle finger can also provide some reference. The middle finger is pale red and the flesh is fresh in color, indicating that the liver has good blood circulation and vigorous liver qi. On the other hand, the middle finger is dark red or pale, which may be related to poor blood circulation in the liver. Therefore, liver health is closely related to the color of the middle finger.
Finally, the elasticity of the middle finger. Bend your middle finger back and quickly return to erection indicates that the liver is functioning normally. Because the liver stores blood, it is closely related to blood circulation, the liver qi is comfortable, and the middle finger has good elasticity. However, if the recovery of the middle finger is slow or not complete, it may mean that the liver function is impaired.
