so let’s talk about what causes the clubbing

appearance of your nail where the nail becomes thickened it becomes enlarged

it starts to create a little bit of a convexity

as it enlarges right here so this is the appearance of a club nail

but what’s behind it well there’s several things that it could be

one would be related to the heart you have maybe a hypoxic condition where

you’re just not getting enough oxygen and it’s showing up in the nails

and there’s another condition which is genetic involving

the structural part of the heart and because you’re born with that you’re

going to develop this appearance early on also the lung

if there’s a condition called sarcoidosis or

you had tb that could create this appearance

now you could also have a problem in your

gut malabsorption where you’re not able to pull in

the fat-soluble vitamins or vitamins in general

that can create that appearance it could also come from

a type of thyroid condition called graves

which is a hyper thyroid condition and it’s an autoimmune condition

and lastly it could come from your liver so if you have cirrhosis

or it could be fibrosis or scar tissue of the gallbladder or the little ducks

they’re called bile ducts and that can create a big problem with

the liver which can affect all sorts of nutrient issues

as well as structural problems throughout the body not just the nail

it can create hair problems and skin issues and as a side note

a very good remedy for this would be bile salts by the way that actually will

help reverse some of this fibrosis now i put some links down below for each
