Different marks on the Mounts on the palm of a person, one can predict the disease he is prone to suffer.

Usually when a patient is examined by a doctor, the doctor used to examine the flow of blood on the nails by holding the finger and pressing the tip of the finger. If the blood flow in the nail is less it indicates the person is anaemic. If the colour of the hand is yellowish, then he is prone to Jaundice. If the palm as a whole is red in colour it denotes that the subject is suffering from high blood pressure. If the palm is bluish it denotes that the patient’s blood is poisoned.

The age at which the death of a person will occur can be predicted by the following method. Take a blunt needle and start pricking the Life line from the beginning of the line. After one prick, you will see blood i.e. red colour at that spot. Thus you go on doing it on the length of Life line. At one point there will be no blood and a white patch will appear. This is the year the year the person will die. The age can be determined as usual with the help of Fate line.
