[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

Nails are made from keratin, a protein found in the skin and hair. Living cells in the fingers make the protein, which is then pushed towards the ends of the fingers where it hardens. Several factors, including age, environmental abuse and disease, can contribute to weak, brittle nails but there are ways to strengthen them using natural methods.

A protein-rich diet is important to maintaining nail health, since our nails are made from it. If you eat meat, eggs, or other protein-rich foods regularly, there’s no need to worry. But if you don’t eat meat, add these vegetarian protein sources to your diet, such as quinoa, beans, and meat substitutes like tofu and seitan.

The B-vitamin Biotin promotes healthy cell growth and helps the body metabolize protein-building amino acids. Swiss researchers found that patients with brittle nails who supplement with 2,500 micrograms of biotin for six months increased their nail thickness 25 percent. Take 300 micrograms of the vitamin four to six times a day. A supplement is the easiest way to get Biotin into your diet. But if you prefer to get your vitamins the natural way, you can find Biotin in foods like swiss chard, eggs, wheat germ, whole grains, and salmon.

Zinc is another nutrient active in helping the immune system function properly, it plays an important role in the formation of your connective tissues. Zinc is a component of hundreds of enzymes in the body, some of which regulate the body’s ability to make new proteins that will become building blocks of healthy nails. Oysters are rich in zinc, as are pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, lamb, beef, and oats.

Keeping your nails on the shorter side will also help. If you’re having trouble with weak nails, consider cutting down the length while you build up their strength. Shorter nails are less prone to breaking. Trim nails to a squarish shape with slightly rounded sides. Just make sure to file down your nails in one direction, and don’t saw them back and forth, which can cause your nails to split and peel.

The cuticle has a very important purpose to serve: It seals the area at the base of the nail. So when you cut or remove the cuticle, it breaks that seal of protection, leaving you vulnerable to bacteria and the possibility of infection. Cutting your cuticles can also lead to nail problems, such as ridges, white spots, or white lines. If you really need to, you can gently push the cuticles back with a wooden orange stick after getting out of the shower, then massage them with a cuticle cream.

Make cuticle oil and nail salve part of your daily routine. You wouldn’t go to sleep without moisturizing your face, so why should your nails be any different? You can use a mix of almond and avocado oils to keep cuticles and nails hydrated while you get some sleep. If you are interested, I have on Etsy a nail strengthener cream made with essential oils.

Protecting the nails from harsh weather, water, and impact can keep them from splitting or breaking. Avoid using your nails as tools. Even something as quick as opening a soda can or scratching off a price tag puts pressure on the weakest part of your nail, the tip, and can contribute to peeling and breakage. Also, refrain from biting your nails.

Wear gloves when submerging hands in water for extended periods, like while doing dishes. Water can actually weaken nails. Frequent exposure to water can encourage bacterial growth, which can weaken and damage nails.

The one thing that every expert agrees on: Once you hit on the combination that works for you, you’ll be rewarded with stronger, healthy nails.
