NADI PARIKSHA
Technique of Reading the Pulse
Nadi Pariksha is the oldest procedure of Ayurveda, to
determine the psycho-physical constitution of the individual and the state of
balance or imbalance of the doshas. It is also Known as “Pulse diagnosis”.
Nadi Pariksha is based on the principal of
vibrational theory, in which the biological elements of the body i.e. Vata,
Pitta and Kapha creates vibrations throughout the body. With the help of this
technique, Ayurvedic physician perceives these vibrations and find out the
status of doshas, which are responsible for your health or illness. When the range of proportion of doshas remains within the
limit or equilibrium, it is called optimal health. When these doshas lose their
equilibrium and become imbalanced, they lead to disease.
There are many points in the body, from where physician
can easily find out the vibrational pulse. But, the the most common place is wrist
from where pulse can be checked by physician easily and clearly (for males, the
right hand wrist and for females, the left-hand wrist pulse should be taken by
the physician).
According to Ayurveda, rhythm,
amplitude and frequency of the pulse are associated with the movement of
animals.
For Example, if you have imbalanced Vata dosha, the
pulse at your wrist would be similar to the movement of the snake: fast,
irregular, empty. Your wrist would be more subtle, as the snake moves
quickly, creating irregular features.
During imbalanced Pitta, pulse would be similar to
the movement of the frog, hopping, smooth, determined. Like the frog, its movement would be
continuous "jump" into a regular rhythm and eye-catching.
And during imbalanced Kapha dosha, pulse would be
similar to the movement of the swan, slow, wide, majestic and full.
On basis of above mentioned description of Ayurvedic
pulse diagnosis and your complains, Ayurvedic physician perceives about the imbalanced
doshas, accumulated toxins, impaired organ and pathological changes of specific
parts of your body, which helps them to prepare a perfect prescription of
required medicines to you.
