Pulse taking is the main diagnostic tool in Chinese medicine. An acupuncturist looks at the tongue and palpates the pulse before coming up with a tailored treatment plan.
How do they check my pulse? It is a question that comes up during a consultation often times. An acupuncturist uses three fingers on each wrist and palpates the amplitude, shape and jump of the patient's radial pulse, reading multiple layers of information
A skilled acupuncturist can diagnose and tell if one's body is deficient in blood, if the arteries are hardened or if hyperlipidemia is present, why someone is fatigued, the source of anxiety or insomnia, the state of organ function, if there is inflammation or infection in specific organs and parts of the body , cold conditions.
The pulse can reveal a positive pregnancy as early as 6 days after conception, and so much more....
Most amazing thing is that this technique is ancient, it has been around for thousands of years, before any imaging or blood tests were discovered.
