Self-hypnosis
is a great technique for stopping a nail-biting habit
because most of the biting and skin-picking is done
subconsciously and automatic. Most people don't realize that
they are actually biting until the fingers are already in
the mouth. Damaged bitten nails and cutis is usually very
ugly and gives a bad impression of the person. Stop
biting your nails
Hypnosis
for Nail-biting
Some
children and adults do this, especially when they are
nervous. But it is not a healthy habit. Here's why:
Fingernails have a couple of big jobs to do. They protect
your fingertips and make it easier for you to collect tiny
things, like loose threads.
They are
also close when you have an itch that needs scratching. But
when you bite your nails, your nails are not there to do
those things, and biting, you break the skin and may bring
germs into these openings in the skin. In fact, some people
bite their nails and cuticles down so far, they bleed! When
bacteria invade, they can cause infection. Speaking of
germs, there are germs under your nails, so when you bite,
these germs can enter the mouth.
Think of
all the material, so repulsive, that you touch all day. You
do not want those nasty germs that enter the mouth. Ask your
parents, and other family members or friends to tell you and
warn you about biting your nails.
You can
also help keep your nails trimmed and looking good - so
good, that you do not want to chew on them! The causes of
nail biting range from nervous stress, to nail fungus, and
the first symptoms of a child nail biting problem are quite
obvious: the red sore cutis.
Eat foods
rich in calcium and magnesium to your nails will repair and
grow well.
