Pulse Diagnosis
Checking pulses dates to thousands of years ago, back to the origins of Chinese Medicine. Pulse taking in Oriental medicine differs widely from western pulse taking. While practitioners in western medicine look for rate and rhythm of the pulse, acupuncture practitioners check for over 24 qualities on 12 different pulses.
Through this method, the acupuncturist is able to analyze one's overall health as well as the health of each meridian specifically.
