Diagnosis of the pulse. Chinese medicine

How much should a healthy person have a pulse? What conclusions can be drawn by probing the pulse? A European doctor can determine a limited number of diseases based on these indications. The Chinese physician, with the help of knowledge of the properties and interrelation of the pulse with the rest of the organs, can detect a much greater number of ailments. How is the diagnosis of the pulse? How accurate is it? Today we will talk about this.

Features of Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine is too different from the medical practice of the whole world, where the delivery of blood tests, urine and feces became commonplace. Here the doctor is obliged to conduct such procedures as:

• External examination of the patient. It involves the study of absolutely all parts of the body. Internal organs that are accessible to the eyes of the doctor are also inspected (throat or ears, for example).
• The sense of smell is used in conjunction with listening. Through these techniques, the timbre of the voice, the speed of speech and breathing are scanned. In the process of reviewing these parameters, the doctor has time to fix the aroma from the mouth, which also affects the speed of diagnosis.
• In a conversation with a sick Chinese doctor reveals the maximum number of symptoms.
• In the final, a diagnosis is made on the pulse. In this respect, Chinese doctors have no equal. They believe that the normal pulse per minute equals four or five beats per breath or sixty to eighty beats in 60 seconds. These indicators are able to tell the whole patient's medical history, as well as predict the future state of health.

Rates of heart rate depending on age

How much should a healthy person have a pulse? An experienced physician, long and skillfully practicing pulsodiagnostics, is obliged to know the pulse rate in both an adult and a baby, further treatment will depend on this. And they differ significantly and average equal to the following values.

Basic parameters of pulse

Chinese diagnosis of the pulse is based on seven parameters:

• Rhythm. Pathology is an arrhythmic pulse, an experienced doctor can determine the cause, even over time intervals between shocks.
• Force. If the pulse is weak, then this does not mean a malfunction in the body. But the indicator can tell about the reasons for the impact. And most often they are hidden in other organs that have failed.
• The tension in the pulse manifests itself either as a relaxed state of it or as tight. However, both the first and second versions do not talk about something good. On the contrary, it is either a lack of a certain substance in the body or its stagnation.
• Speed divides the heartbeat into several tempos: slow, frequent and normal. A slow rate is inherent in such a characteristic as the cold in the whole body. A frequent pace is often accompanied by fever. And only with a normal heartbeat, the person will have a normal body temperature.
• Depth highlights the surface pulse and deep. But in order to decipher the meaning of each type, it is necessary to take into account the force with which the blood is pushed out. The jerks can be strong, thin and weak.
• The form is divided into two types. It can be slippery and smooth. These versions will tell about the accumulation of excess fluid in the body. The roughness or roughness of the tremors will tell you about the state of the blood. The flat pulse speaks of the stagnation of some processes, and the wavy one - about the violation of the body's defenses.

Important aspects for practicing Chinese pulsodiagnosis

Chinese medicine for a very long time worked on the issue of pulse diagnosis. On its formation as an independent direction in medicine, thousands of years have passed. And during this time it became clear that the most accurate information can be obtained only from the radial artery located on the wrist. It happened because the pulsation on the neck is considered too amplitude, and the pulse on the leg is too far from the heart.

In order to become a worthy representative of diagnosis based on the pulse, the doctor will have to perform the following actions:

1. Fingers, and in particular, their pads, should be extremely sensitive. Therefore, we will have to train for a long time in this respect.
2. Curb and learn a computer program that corresponds to all the maneuvers that the fingers and palms of the doctor perform.

Combinations of pulse positions for the left hand

In order to read the information from the pulse, the doctor must feel three positions. Each of them is responsible for a certain pair of organs. Variations, versions and disagreements on the subject of organ dipping were mass. Disputes continue to this day, but the most common on the left hand was the following combination of positions:

• The first is responsible for the activity of the intestine and heart;
• The second helps diagnose liver and gallbladder pathologies;
• The third is the point of Yin with the bladder.

Arrangement of positions for the right hand

• The first tells about the condition of the lungs and large intestine.
• The second contains information about the stomach and spleen.
• The third is appointed responsible for the Yan point and the organs associated with it (that is, female sex).

Liability of palpation

The indications of each individual parameter or a combination of them demonstrate the correct functioning of the organism from within. The main way of making diagnostic manipulations is palpation. In other words, the pulse and the area approximated to it are professionally felt or pressed by the fingers of the doctor and his palm. It is considered that the upper part of the pads on the fingers is more sensitive to the functioning of dense organs, such as:

• spleen;
• lungs;
• pancreas;
• liver;
• a heart;
• Kidney.

And the lower part took responsibility for the sensation of the hollow organs of man. It:

• The gall bladder;
• stomach;
• bladder;
• intestines.

Additional impact on the final diagnosis

To listen to the pulse is not enough, it needs to be understood. After all, the compilation of a complete diagnostic picture is affected not only by a combination of certain parameters. The final diagnosis is influenced by factors such as:

• The phase of the disease. In the early stages of a terrible disease can have a similar symptom with some ordinary cold. However, it is on the basis of heart rate readings that the physician is able to put together the external manifestations of the disease and those manifestations that reflect the pulse. Only in this case the picture becomes more saturated and clear.
• The time of day is largely reflected in pulse shocks. In other words, in the morning the illness may not manifest itself, but in the evening it reaches a peak, and then the pulse behaves in a different way. A professional may suspect a certain disease on the background of previous forms of examination (conversation, external examination or sense of smell). Then it is his duty to repeat listening to the pulse in the evening time - the suspicion is either confirmed or not.
• The behavior of the pulse depends on the weather conditions. When the heat rises pressure, the pulse increases, which can camouflage the main symptoms or prevent them from manifesting to the fullest. A physician practicing Chinese diagnostics should take into account the individuality of each patient and his personal dependence on the weather.
• Chronic ailments of each individual patient. The fact is that their availability involves periodic treatment. Throughout this time, the body will be exposed to medication, and it, in turn, can significantly affect any parameter of the pulse.
• The habitat has the most serious effect on the pulse. It is about the level of observance of hygienic and sanitary norms in a person's home. If, for example, a person's body is in a dirty state for a long time or, on the contrary, it is too often subjected to bath procedures, this affects the pulse accordingly. The specialist is able to recognize and evaluate all the probabilities of changes in the pulse.
• Climatic conditions - a significant factor for the work of the body as a whole and the pulse in particular. After all, the frequency, depth, rhythm and other parameters of the pulse are too sensitive to the prolonged influence of high humidity, drought or severe frost. An experienced doctor will take into account the longest place of residence of his patient.

Benefits of Chinese medicine based on listening to the pulse

Diagnosis of the pulse has many advantages:

• Possibility of localization. The doctor is able from the whole heap of information received from the pulse, to identify the root cause of a malfunction in the body and diagnose the focus of all health problems.
• The basis is taken by human energy as a biomaterial. A professional determines its stagnation or shortcomings, points out problem areas and gives recommendations on how to deal with the problem.
• The patient's condition is evaluated at a specific point in time, without a discount on previous problems or their absence. The accuracy of the current assessment of vital activity is very high and that is why it is so highly valued.
• Forecasting the state of health of a person, the specialist does practically unmistakably. Taking into account the patient's medical history (this doctor is also able to determine by pulse) and a capacious picture to date, conclusions regarding the future state of health and become the basis for recommendations.
