What palmistry says the health line reveals about frequent illness

Some people fall ill with minor or major ailments through the year. No sooner do they recover from one illness than another begins within days. Others rarely fall sick and stay healthy all year round. According to palmistry, the secret lies hidden in the palm of the hand. The health line on the palm is said to tell the whole story of a person's wellbeing.

Interestingly, those who do not have this line on their palm are considered healthier than others. In other words, having the line is not necessarily a good sign. A teenage boy or girl's palm may not show this line at all, while it may be visible on the hand of a grown man or woman. This is said to mean that the teenager is healthier than the adult.

This line is also called the Mercury line, because it runs toward the Mercury mount. Starting from the wrist or the life line and running in the direction of the Mercury mount, this line is called the health line and is said to also reflect the influence of the Mercury line. When this line begins to appear clearly, a person is advised to be careful about their health.

People who suffer from joint pain, arthritis, liver trouble, stomach or digestion related ailments, or rheumatism are often said to show this health line clearly on their palm.

If the line on the hand is crooked like a snake, it is said to mean that health does not stay good. Such people are said to fall ill repeatedly and struggle with one problem or another through the year.

If the line takes the shape of an island or looks like a chain, it may indicate lung-related trouble. Such people may also be prone to asthma.

Those whose health line is broken in the middle are said to often have stomach and digestion problems, which can also cause pain.

Meanwhile, those whose line is bent are said to have a higher likelihood of liver-related ailments or trouble. Such people are advised to take special care of their liver.
