Few people know that proper care of your nails can not only ensure the neat appearance of your hands, but also improve your well-being, get rid of problems and even change your destiny for the better. It is not without reason that palmists and astrologists regard nails as the finest indicators of a person’s well-being and even his inherent vitality. In today's post, we will tell you when is the best time to cut your nails to improve your life, and what time of day is unfavorable for cutting your nails. So, if you're interested, let's get started.
It turns out that if you cut your nails on certain days of the week, you can improve their condition and make some adjustments to your life. Well, let's see what day of the week is best to do this.
On Monday, cutting your nails is especially recommended for those women who want to get rid of depression, various complexes, and forget about negative events and unpleasant people. Also, cutting nails on Monday improves the health of those women who suffer from urological and gynecological diseases.
On Tuesday, this hygiene helps to get rid of troubles, protect you from enemies and their negativity. It is also recommended for those who suffer from migraines and blood diseases to perform it on this day.
On Wednesday, a haircut is indicated for those who want to improve relationships with people, improve their studies, solve a problem and organize their thoughts. Also on this day it is indicated for those who have problems with the nervous system.
Cutting your nails on Thursday will increase your authority, provide you with self-confidence and allow you to realize even the craziest plans. In terms of health, a haircut on Thursday serves as a prevention of liver diseases.
But on Friday it is not recommended to cut your nails, since on this day the biochemical processes in the body slow down. Trimming your nails can trigger the accumulation of waste and promote fullness.
The best day to cut your nails is Saturday. By getting a manicure on this day, you increase your chances of getting rid of loneliness and removing part of the burden of karmic debts.
Under no circumstances should you carry out the procedure on Sunday, because on this day you are closely connected with your guardian angel, so any intervention in your body will disrupt the connection with it and the Universe. This day is meant for rest - remember this.
Few people know about such a sign as the ban on cutting nails in the evening. The sign says that if you carry it out after sunset, you can lose your financial well-being. However, if you look at the root of the sign, you can conclude that it was relevant only for our ancestors. The fact is that in ancient times, when there was no electricity, cutting nails could lead to injuries and cuts. And since cuts on the hands took a long time to heal (there was no quality medicine in those days either), it was very difficult to do manual work. It is logical that temporary failure to complete work had a negative impact on a person’s financial condition.
There is also an opinion that cutting your nails in the evening “cuts” your luck. This can also be explained by the fact that the wounds on the hands caused a lot of inconvenience and grief, which cannot be called luck.
Another sign that few people have heard of is the taboo on cutting nails at night. This sign is explained by the fact that in ancient times some peoples conducted their religious ceremonies at night. Consequently, fearing the wrath of the deities, they tried to avoid any manipulation with piercing and cutting instruments.
Now you know which signs associated with cutting nails promise us well-being, and which should be avoided.
In conclusion, we note that you have the right to determine the time when it is better to cut your nails yourself, but it is still fun to listen to the recommendations of your ancestors. Is it true, friend, that by getting a beautiful manicure on Saturday, you will attract the man of your dreams into your life? The main thing is to believe in it and always hope for the best!

The sign according to which you should not cut your nails at night did not arise out of nowhere.
Previously, when a person lived based on natural daylight, and artificial lamps were weak and expensive, manicure in the dark was a rather dangerous activity!
It was easy to cut oneself, and a minor injury caused pain during work (mostly physical) or could even lead to inflammation and suppuration, further reducing the ability to work. All this did not allow for a high income.
Today, a comfortable environment for manicure and pedicure is available to everyone. If applying makeup or cutting your nails after a hard day at work helps you relax, why not ignore the signs?
From the point of view of Muslims, it is better to perform a manicure and pedicure, as well as to get a haircut, on Friday, before preparing for prayer. At this time, hygiene procedures are especially favorable for the believer, and their regularity is the key to cleanliness not only bodily, but also spiritual.

Bedsores are the necrosis of soft tissues that occur as a result of ischemia caused by prolonged continuous mechanical pressure on them (appear more often on the sacrum, shoulder blades, heels, elbows due to prolonged compression of skin areas and disruption of blood circulation in it.
First, redness and soreness appear, then the epidermis peels off and blisters form. with deep bedsores, muscles, tendons, and periosteum are exposed. necrosis and ulcers develop, sometimes penetrating to the bone. An infection penetrates through the damaged skin, which leads to suppuration and infection of the bone.
The cause of bedsores is insufficient care for the patient!
There are 4 stages of bedsores:
1. the appearance of areas of red or bluish color (treat with 10% camphor solution, or 1% alcohol solution of r-omsalicylic acid, 5-10% alcohol solution of iodine, 1% brilliant green or a mixture of 70% ethyl alcohol.

Then apply a bandage with 0.5% potassium permanganate solution, if there is pus, treat with 3% hydrogen peroxide, cover the surface with aseptic bandage.
Reducing the length of nails is a necessary procedure that is necessary for both those with long and short nails. It can be carried out in different ways and everyone chooses the most acceptable one for themselves. The tools also vary - these can be nippers, scissors, files, or all at once. However, their health, growth rate, etc. depend on how correctly the nails were cut. In particular, if the nail is shortened incorrectly, the likelihood of ingrown nails increases.
Quite a lot of girls know how to trim their fingernails correctly. They use files to reduce the length of the nails without damaging the plates themselves. However, there are a number of rules that can make the process as fast and safe as possible. Here are some of them.
Many of the rules for cutting fingernails also apply to toenails. First of all, these are the rules of aspestics and antiseptics. Instruments should be treated with an antiseptic solution; if the skin is injured, the wound should be treated with the same solution. Hands or feet should be dry and clean, and after finishing the haircut, it is better to lubricate them with cream, rubbing it into the nail plates.
A rather difficult question for right-handers is how to cut the nails on the right hand, and for left-handers, accordingly, on the left. Indeed, it is quite difficult to process the plates with a “non-working” hand. And although some people control their non-dominant hand almost as well as their dominant hand, for others even the simplest action remains almost impossible to perform. There are several rules to facilitate this process.
Use a clipper. It helps reduce the length of the plates in just one movement. Give the required shape with a file. However, carefully ensure that the plates are the same, since often when filing on your non-dominant hand, the file is at an angle and the shape is distorted.
It is better not to use scissors, as there is a high risk of injury. In addition, it is much more difficult to give the edge the desired shape. A file is also considered an acceptable option, but the process will take quite a long time.
The vast majority of people know much less about how to properly trim their toenails. It is worth remembering that the plates on the feet are much harder and thicker than on the hands, and therefore special pedicure tools should be used to process them. Ideally, you should have two sets - for manicure and for pedicure. However, if this is not feasible, then it is necessary to use at least different scissors or nippers and files.
As mentioned above, the plates are harder, which means that in order to soften them, a longer bath is needed. So, if five minutes is enough for fingernails, then on the feet you need to take a bath for at least a third of an hour. You can add soda or sea salt to it for a more active effect on the plates.
Before we talk about how to trim your toenails correctly, let's talk about the best way to do it. First of all, it is preferable to use wire cutters. They give an even cut and cope better with a hard plate. Such a straight cut is very important when doing a pedicure, since here, on the contrary, too much grinding of the edges provokes ingrowth. If the length allows, then it is better to give them a square shape so that their sharp edges are already located above the skin roll and are visible. In the future, you just need to maintain this shape and you can avoid the problem of ingrowth.
The video clips in this article will tell you how to cut (trim) your toenails correctly, and the photo shows the result of such correct treatment. With regular and correct nail care, they will not only be healthy, but also beautiful, thereby complementing your image, which is especially valuable in the summer, during the period of open shoes.
