Koilonychia is usually caused through iron deficiency anemia. these nails show raised ridges and are thin and concave. Seek a physicians advice and treatment. Vertical Ridges are also characteristic of aging, although are not limited to the aged or elderly. The nail plate grows forward on the nail bed in a 'rail and groove' effect, much like a train rides on its' tracks. As we age, the natural oil and moisture levels decline in the nail plate, and this rail and groove effect becomes apparent. Ridged nails will improve through re-hydration of the nail plate with twice daily applications of a good quality nail and cuticle oil containing Jojoba and Vitamin E. Ridged fingernails are indicative of nutritional deficiencies. Drinking lots of water and taking a high quality multivitamin and mineral supplement along with Essential Fatty Acids, (high quality fish oil capsules, etc.), will help balance all the bodies tissues. Also, getting comprehensive blood work done by a holistic doctor may help pinpoint necessary diet and supplementation changes.
