Pulse diagnosis takes a few minutes, usually at least one minute each side. A common responses by patients experiencing pulse diagnosis for the first time is that it seems like a long time to take the pulse.
We are not just feeling the beats of the pulse - ie counting the pulse rate - the practitioner is feeling ALOT more than that.
Each finger position of the practitioners fingers on the pulse, relates to a different part of the your body.
The system of herbal medicine Marie practices relies heavily on the pulse, up to 80% of the diagnosis can be made just from feeling the pulse.
In Chinese Medicine there are around 28 different kinds of pulses – these are different shapes, speed, length and depth. There are also 3 different positions on each wrists, 3 different depths as well as different organs represented on each wrist – so it’s much more complicated than simply counting the number of beats per minute. It takes years of attention to study and practice to become skilled enough to ascertain the right information.
