Introduction: Pulse is one of the most important diagnostic
tools used from ancient times, which needs accuracy and
focus. Unlike any other faculty of medicine, this age old science
of alternative healing is a study of energy which neither can
be measured nor be seen. It can only be palpated at the wrist.
Palpation and its interpretation bring forth the detail analysis
of energy and its patterns and thus further can be accurately
diagnose the exact illness or disorder. This is called a pulse
diagnosis because of the need of going deeper into my own
understanding and knowledge, I started researching and
studying this subject intensely and got some extraordinary
results. Following is the brief summary of my findings so far as
my research is going on at present.
The Pulse & Diagnosis Patterns: The Pulse has dynamism,
fluidity and changeability. It is multi-dimensional in depth, rate,
rhythm, strength, shape etc., reflecting the overall wellbeing in
person, identifying the state of mental, emotional and spiritual
health.
Findings: The pulse study of around 1,00,000 patients so far,
has shown me a clear, multi- layered and textured picture of
these dimensions. This led me go deeper into analyzing it
further to finally find approximately 100 definite patterns,
proving as the most effective guiding tool in diagnosing the
complete ill and/or otherwise condition of patients and help to
understand the line of treatment and prognosis of the disease.
