The Health Line starts under the little finger and goes across the palm towards the base of the thumb. The Health Line represents the health alongwith the general being of a person.
This line is called `Swarthy Rekha` in Hindi. This line relates to health but there is no fixed place of its source. This line can commence from the mount of Mars or from Life Line or from the center of the palm or from any other place but is should be remembered that this line invariably terminates at the mount of Mercury and the line which reaches the mount of Mercury can really be called the `Health Line`.
The health line varies from person to person. In some hands it is very thick while on others it is found to be thinner than hair. This line should be studied with great care. Health, sickness etc. are studied with its help. The health line denotes the health record of an individual. It has been observed that the health line does not have a definite ending point. The study of the health line divulges the health of a person and any sickness that he or she may have experienced or will undergo.
Some people may have deep and thick health lines and on the other hand other may possess thin Health lines. The clear and steady health line is the connotation of good health throughout the life of a person. A broken health line at a point signifies ill-health and if the line is broken in several places, it indicates severe and chronic illness. It has been said by the practitioners of Palmistry that the absence of health line on the palm is the connotation of an excellent state of health, robust constitution and a strong nervous system.
The practitioners of Palmistry are also of the view that the health line deals with the material well being as much as the physical and is responsible in playing a strong part in the development of material wealth. It has also been said that the straighter the Health line is, the better the health remains. The twisted and irregular health line is an indication of liver complains. Heavily marked health line that joins the line of heart and head and not found elsewhere is the sign of mental disturbance. According to Palmistry, health line can be the indication of a strong business sense as well as the strength to work hard and to make money when it is found as an undisturbed line. Depending on the shape and the depth of the health line, the acuity of the health problem varies, like, wavy health line defines potential health problems as a result of anxiety and nervousness and a broken line, tends to show poor health that will create problem in business. When it rises from the line of heart at the Mount of Mercury and runs into or through the line of life, it foretells some weakness of the heart.
In Palmistry the pale colour and broad health line are the connotation of bad circulation. It indicates of heart trouble if the line is red in colour, particularly when it leaves the line of heart, with small, flat nails. The different forms, marks and colour of this health line define various aspects of health. In this respect, Palmistry says that, the long and almond-shaped nails denote a danger of weakness and delicacy of the lungs; the same shape of nails and islands in the upper part of the health line is indicates respiratory problems and tuberculosis. On the other hand, the flat nails especially shell-shaped nails with deeply marked health line are the indication of paralysis and the worst forms of nerve diseases in accordance with Palmistry. When this line is very red in small spots, especially when pressed, rheumatic fever is indicated. Moreover the person will probably undergo biliousness and liver complaints when his health line is twisted, irregular and yellowish. When the line is found heavily marked, and only joining the Heart and Head Lines together, it foreshadows brain-fever, especially, when any islands are marked on the Line of Head. The formation of the line in straight pieces denotes bad digestion and an extra line that branches out onto the life line, defines some sort of life-threatening situation in old age.
In Palmistry, the entire study of health line considers the reading and indications of other lines also like when the Line of Life looks very chained and weak, the Health Line on a hand will naturally increase the danger of delicate health; and when found with a Line of Head full of little islands, or like a chain it clearly foreshadows brain disease, severe headaches, etc.
The study of the health line in Palmistry is the warning that may be given of approaching the condition of the health. The line is studied with great care and several other lines are deeply studied to get accuracy in the study.
