Pulse Diagnosis

Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis, also known as nadi pariksha, is a traditional diagnostic method used in Ayurvedic medicine. The practitioner places their fingers on the radial pulse of the patient's wrist to determine the balance or imbalance of the three doshas, or constitutions: vata, pitta, and kapha.

During the pulse diagnosis, the practitioner observes the rhythm, strength, and quality of the pulse. They pay attention to the pulse's speed, depth, and regularity, as well as its strength and intensity. By doing so, they can assess the balance of the doshas and determine any imbalances or blockages in the patient's energy channels.

The practitioner may also use their fingers to feel the pulse in different positions on the wrist, which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. This can provide further insight into the patient's overall health and identify any specific imbalances or areas of concern.

Nadi pariksha is considered a non-invasive and holistic approach to diagnosis, as it takes into account not just physical symptoms but also mental, emotional, and spiritual factors. The information gathered during the pulse diagnosis can be used to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include diet and lifestyle recommendations, herbal remedies, and other Ayurvedic therapies.

Overall, nadi pariksha is a valuable tool in Ayurvedic medicine for assessing the overall health and well-being of the patient and developing a personalized approach to healing.
