- Pulse taking in Chinese Medicine can tell us a multitude of things about your health. Here are 3 things we are checking and what they mean!
#1 Rate:
* A fast pulse indicates excessive heat in the body. This pulse is often present when there is a fever, an inflammatory condition, or increased stress on the nervous system.
* A slow pulse indicates a cold condition or could point to a particular body system that is functioning in an inefficient or sluggish way. This pulse is often present when there are problems with blood circulation, cold hands and feet, etc.
# 2 Strength:
* A strong pulse indicates excess of some kind in the body. This pulse is often present with stress, anger, high blood pressure, and headaches.
* A weak pulse indicates a deficiency of some kind in the body. This pulse is often present with fatigue, weakness, insomnia, low blood pressure, and depression
# 3 Width:
* A thin or thready pulse indicates “Blood deficiency” or “Fluid deficiency.” This pulse is often fatigue, weakness, insomnia, nutrient deficiencies, and sub-optimal digestive absorption.
* One of the most typical wide pulses is called a rolling or slippery pulse – this one feels something like small beads rippling underneath the fingers. This pulse indicates food stagnation in the intestines, or a build-up of phlegm somewhere in the body. This pulse is often present with a variety of digestive problems and sinus/allergy congestion.”
