Pulse diagnosis is one of the
diagnostic methods. Pulse palpation means to feel the patient's
arterial pulse from the Chinese doctor’s three fingers’ tips to
detect the disease conditions. It is one of the important diagnostic
method of TCM. The pulse condition is associated with the functions
of Qi, Xue, five Zang and Six Fu organs. Therefore, pulse-taking
will help to locate the natural diseases and conditions such as
decrease of vital Qi. Any pathogenic factors will interrupts the
pulse conditions. From the pulse reading, we are able to respect the
prognosis of the diseases and strength and violent factors. The
pulse diagnosis provides the treatment direction for the Chinese
medicine practitioners. However, the skill of pulse taking requires
extreme technique and practice.
The heart is in charge of blood
circulation and pushes the blood flowing all over the body. In TCM,
although the heart produce the blood and control the circulation, it
still need to coordinated with other internal organs, San Jia, Qi,
and Zing- Ye to complete her functions. It frequently see in the
most of Text books such as spleen Qi keep blood inside the blood
vessels, lung Qi to help the distribution the blood, kidney Qi to
supply the original Qi force, liver Qi store the blood and smooth
the blood, and pectoral Qi to give the energy to push the blood. The
kidney qi also is called Yang Qi which includes the stomach Qi and
Zhong Qi. The Yang Qi force the blood through the jing Mai,
therefore the pulse beats are created. Jing Mai likes the blood
vessels. It also conducts the Qi and blood, which make the blood
sufficiently penetrate the entire body. So the Mai Qi produce the
pulse beats, the mai Qi are not only replenished by the kidney
essence and Qi but also stomach essence and Qi. Jing Mai Qi also are
divided into two parts: Ying Qi and Wei Qi. Ying Qi can produces
blood, and Zing-Ye. It circulates inside the Jing Mai and nourishes
the entire the body. The Wei Qi circulates outside the Jing Mai and
protects the whole body such as a function of immune systems. The
Ying Qi id Yang and Wei Qi is Yang charactertic.
