TCM Diagnosis & Assessment
Active Modality
Overview
Reading radial pulse qualities at multiple depths and positions to gauge overall Qi strength and metabolic balance.
Clinical Description & Benefits
Pulse Diagnosis involves feeling the radial pulse at three positions on each wrist (Cun, Guan, Chi) at three depths (superficial, middle, deep). By sensing the speed, width, strength, and shape of the pulse, the practitioner can evaluate the energy of the 12 meridians and diagnose internal patterns.
