Pulse Reading - #5089
I recently visited an Ayurvedic practitioner, and they used pulse reading to diagnose my condition. It was fascinating because they were able to tell me things about my health that I hadn’t even mentioned. Now I’m curious to know more about how pulse reading works and its role in Ayurveda. How does an Ayurvedic doctor use pulse reading to determine a person’s dosha or health issues? Do they rely on the speed, rhythm, or strength of the pulse? The doctor told me my Vata was imbalanced based on my pulse, but I couldn’t understand how they figured that out. Also, is pulse reading accurate for diagnosing serious health conditions, or is it more about understanding overall balance? Can pulse reading also detect emotional or mental health issues, like stress or anxiety? I’d love to know if pulse reading is something that can be learned, or is it a skill that only experienced practitioners develop over years of practice?
