Hand diagnosis

First little history to the hand diagnosis...
First investigations of the hand - as means of creative expression, like also as mirrors of the interior life - date over 5000 years back. Probably the old Chinese began already 3000 years before our time calculation with the hand study. From there arrived the Chirologie probably to India. The ways of the old India developed the field of activity of the hand analysis within a more comprehensive science of physiognomie, hands, chest and feet than characteristics for the interpretation of the nature and the fate of humans. Over it 4000 years old recordings exist.
The "hand read art" is still today in the whole middle east an outstanding science, which is taught at the universities. It continued to spread and reached over Greece our culture area finally. The Greeks called it Chirosophie , that means hand wisdom. Also Aristoteles (384 322 before our time) is to have written papers over hands, among other things for Alexander the large one, delivered under the title "Chiromantia". Already to the time in the Chirosophie a medical and a psychological direction were differentiated. It became clear by the Chiromantie, differentiated between which art and science of the future interpretation from the lines of the hand. Also Hippokrates and Galen operated medical hand diagnostics.
Even in the Bible is reference to the meaning of the human hand:
"God created indications and seals in the hands of all sons of humans, on that the sons of humans their works know (Hiob 37/7)."
In all religions symbol-pregnant hand movements, prayer forms, Mudras (hand gestures) are, as well as to Segnungen by the hand.
In the 1. Millenium of our time was "hand vintages" world-wide as an art recognition, until the church settled it in the Heidentum and in the year 315 with papal spell under menace of the Exkommunion occupied. The next 1000 years went the Chirologie into Europe into the underground.
In Europe the awaked interest in the hand diagnosis again in the Renaissance. Thus among other things Paracelsus ( 1493 1541) contributed to its renewed reputation. Of 1650 1680 it is at the universities of Leipzig and resounds its own chair for Chirologie to have given. At the same time the parliament in England forbade the application of the "hand read art" by law and the age of the so-called clearing-up let it completely into oblivion finally turn out.
The hand read art enjoyed, as we sees, in the east at all times higher reputation, than in the west, where religion and science fight it always.
Since that 18/19. Century wins it now in addition, with us increasingly in seriosity, which is connected intended with the scientific research for finger marks, hand characteristics and personality, disease character on the nails as well as genetic abnormalities and their indications in the hand.
Immanuel Kant noticed 1770, "the hand was the outside brain of humans", and not least C G. Jung recognized only in recent past the value of the hand diagnostics for physicians, psychologists and educators and recommended its study. The naturopathy white these experiences is already enough to use.
Hand diagnosis in nature welfare practice
Medical psychological hand diagnosis is an entireness diagnostics with consideration of all aspects of the hand. Statements can be met to assessment, constitution, drive, psyche, loads and disease arrangements.
Are regarded:
- Palpation findings: 1. Impression (also handshake!), Turgor, temperature, mobility
-
Nails: Color, form, size of, consistency, nail moons, grooves, marks, strips
The hand illustrates a snapshot of the physical condition. Hand mouldings and hand mountains permit conclusions on the character, whereby the mountains can exhibit also disease characters. The fingers stand for the personality and have an organ purchase. Knotige or curved fingers are symptomatic for chronic illnesses. The condition of the skin is characteristically changed when some illnesses.
Fingernails make the diagnosis possible of disturbances of the endokrinen glands, cycle problems or anemia.
Hand lines correspond with internal organs and their correspondences within the emotional range. All organs are settled as on an organ clock on the lebenslinie.
For a secured diagnosis different characteristics must agree. Disease characters are like also in the iris diagnosis only signs of a disturbance in the equilibrium of body, soul and spirit, which do not have to lead inevitably into the illness. They indicate constitutional weaknesses, which manifest themselves with far existing imbalance physically. A punctual prophylaxis is made possible by recognizing.
An exact analysis of the hand characteristics lets safe statements about meet to what extent genetic plants fulfill themselves.
Examples:
Good health
In order to be able to meet the statement "good health", the majority of the characteristics must be present.
Weakness of the breath organs
A conversion of damaging life habits lets defect characters disappear!
Control of the therapy process makes possible for us.
End the conclusion I would like to again stress that only one characteristic is never sufficient to the diagnosis. So a "fusion" of the head and herzlinie is to be observed for example with the Trisomie 21 (down syndrome). This 4-Finger-Furche is however also with healthy persons. Most famous representative of this characteristic is to have been among other things John F. Kennedy!
For me the hand diagnosis remains still fascinating and perhaps also after 10 years could I you for this topic likewise inspire?
