What vitamin deficiency causes vertical lines in fingernails?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Our nails naturally develop slight vertical ridges as we age. However, severe and raised ridges can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia. Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B12 or keratin can result in fingernail ridges. Hormonal changes can also cause ridges to appear.

Does coconut oil help hair grow?
Usage of coconut oil on hair depends on hair type. In persons with oily or greasy hair/ scalp, additional application of oil must be avoided to prevent clogging of hair follicles which causes hair loss. In persons with dry or flaky hair/ scalp, any natural oils may be used in moderation to mosturize the hair.
