What Is Pulse Diagnosis?

Pulse diagnosis, also known as Nadi Pariksha in Ayurveda, is a diagnostic technique that involves assessing the pulse to gain insights into an individual's health. It is based on the understanding that the pulse is not merely a measure of heart rate but also reflects the state of various organs and systems in the body. By palpating specific pulse points on the wrist, a trained practitioner can detect subtle variations in rhythm, depth, and quality, which provide valuable information about the individual's constitution, dosha imbalance, and overall well-being. Pulse diagnosis is used in Ayurveda to identify imbalances or disturbances at a deeper level, allowing for personalized treatment plans that address the root cause of health issues.
