What are the ancient principles of pulse reading? What do you know?

The Chinese medicine pulse is a very familiar way to see the disease, but now the phenomenon of Chinese medicine pulse is not very common, and very few people know the principle, so we will have to understand what is the principle of pulse? What is the pulse of the pulse?

What is the principle of pulse

The so-called pulse diagnosis, is to take the pulse, commonly used pulse diagnosis. It is a method for doctors to touch the patient's arteries with their fingers to check the pulse and understand the changes in their condition. Wrist inches mouth, hand Taiyin lung meridian where the original point, is the intersection of the pulse, can reflect the physiological and pathological changes in the internal organs. When taking the pulse, let the patient sit or lie on his back, and the arm should be at the same level with the heart. Commonly used three different finger force to observe the pulse, generally using floating, in the search, and then press the method.

The pulse is closely related to the activity of the heart, as the heart innervates the blood vessels, and the heart beats, discharging blood into the vessels to form the pulse. Pulse diagnosis is one of the four major diagnostic methods of disease, and should be summarized and corrected in conjunction with the patient's other symptoms so that the talent achieves outstanding function.

The TCM practitioner evaluates the pulse primarily by touching the inches of the pulse, which is the image indicated by the pulse. The pulse is caused by the beating of the heart and the rising and falling of the qi, and the profit of the pulse meridian is directly related to the surplus and deficit of qi and blood. Pulse diagnosis is the clinical practice of Chinese medicine, and the process and content of the examination are missing. Pulse diagnosis is important because it can convey physiopathologic information from various parts of the body, providing an important basis for diagnosing diseases.

Currently, the pulse at the inches is the most widely used method in clinical diagnosis. The main feature of normal pulse is 4~5 breaths, equivalent to 70~80 breaths per minute. They are unyielding, neither too big nor too small. They are calm, relaxed, smooth and powerful, able to touch the ground in three parts and sink continuously. These characteristics are called stomach, shen and root in pulse diagnosis. Pulse diagnosis is a diagnostic method in Chinese medicine, also known as pulse taking. Different diseases can be distinguished according to different pulse signs. The general evaluation of the pulse can be categorized into flat, floating, and sinking pulse, and also into slippery, generalized, and fine pulse.

The patient's condition is then identified.

Self-study Chinese medicine pulse, 3 knowledge points to be clarified first

First of all, it is necessary to know that Chinese medicine only uses three fingers to evaluate the pulse. In some TV shows, it is clearly wrong to use two fingers to judge the pulse because they have not done their homework satisfactorily in this area. If you make a mistake at this point, there is no way to move on to the next process, which is that you need to know how many fingers you need to evaluate your pulse.

The next thing we need to do is find the right inches. Speaking of inches, many of you may be wondering what they are. Chinese medicine actually divides wrist inches into three parts, which is where our three fingers press. It is important to realize that the left inch represents the heart, liver, and kidneys, and the right inch represents the lungs, spleen, and kidneys. This is also very important for assessing the pulse. If you don't know it, you can't confess your condition even if you learn to take the pulse, so it's still important to know it.

After all, it is important to know that the left hand and right hand should follow the principle of pressing on the index finger, taking away the middle finger and putting the ring finger on the foot. This order must not be wrong. Apply pressure from light to heavy, and don't use too much force at first, or you won't be able to check the condition. If you practice regularly, you will gradually become proficient in judging the pulse.

Many people also have a question about the principle of pulse diagnosis in Chinese medicine. How is it possible to know the basic condition of a patient and the trend of the disease just by assessing the pulse?

It is important to realize that the pulse is directly related to the frequency of the heartbeat, the heart's vigor or weakness, and the surplus or deficit of qi and blood. These three changes directly determine the change of pulse shape. Therefore, we can determine a person's health status by evaluating the pulse, and understand the truth and changes of diseases by evaluating the pulse.

For example, the heart is the dynamic organ of the pulse, and the beating rate of the heart can reflect pathological changes in the heart, such as coronary heart disease and dysfunction of the blood supply to the heart. If the pulse becomes thin and shallow in position without exertion, then you can know that the patient may have gastrointestinal symptoms, as the pulse of patients with gastrointestinal colds can appear this way.

Through the above general understanding of pulse diagnosis, we can realize that Chinese medicine is really very erudite and complex. However, Chinese medicine has been emphasized since ancient times and must play a great role. So you can learn more about Chinese medicine in general, such as evaluating the pulse as described above, so that you have a basic understanding of the changes that occur in your body.
