What can you know by taking the pulse? What diseases can be diagnosed by taking the pulse?

The pulse is the image that the pulse should refer to. The generation of pulse is directly related to the fluctuation of the heart, the rise and fall of heart qi, the passage of the pulse and the profit and loss of qi and blood. Therefore, the heart and pulse are the main organs that form the pulse.

Qi and blood are the material basis for the formation of pulses. At the same time, the blood flows through the veins, spreads throughout the body, and runs endlessly, in addition to the leading role of the heart, there must also be the coordination and cooperation of various organs: the lungs are towards the hundred pulses, the lung qi is compressed, and the blood can be distributed; The spleen and blood are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the blood is operated by the nourishment and control of the spleen; The liver stores blood, and the main excretes to regulate the amount of blood; The kidney stores essence, essence can produce blood, and can turn qi, and kidney qi is the driving force for the functional activities of various viscera tissues.

Therefore, how can it reflect the comprehensive information of the whole body's internal organs, qi and blood, yin and yang. When the viscera, qi and blood are diseased, they will inevitably be manifested from the pulse, showing pathological pulses, which become an important basis for diagnosing diseases.

From the pulse changes of the left and right hands, through the pulse of the floating, sinking, thin, counting, Hongda, knots, etc., we can see the situation of the five internal organs, the cold, heat, deficiency and reality of the internal organs can be manifested from the pulse, and the situation of the upper, middle and lower three focal points can be judged The most obvious should be the condition of the operation of qi and blood, and the deficiency and prosperity and decline of qi and blood are very clear.

If the "four diagnoses" are combined, a woman's pregnancy can also be diagnosed.

Through the beating of a person's pulse, it can be judged by various diseases, such as heart disease, or lack of cold in the body, or whether there is fire in the body.

Pulse taking is a commonly used diagnostic technique in Chinese medicine and is a treasure of our Chinese medicine. Because of this, some people believe that taking the pulse is a panacea and can diagnose all diseases. TCM experts pointed out that this perception is absolutely wrong, and although pulse checking is a very effective and reliable diagnostic method, it is definitely not a panacea, and some diseases must rely on Western medicine to diagnose them.

First of all, taking the pulse will be affected by the doctor's level of experience, and secondly, it has its limitations. In ancient times, it was not possible to achieve 100% diagnosis, and with the development of the times and the progress of diseases, there are more diseases that cannot be reflected in a single vein. Secondly, TCM and Western medicine are completely different diagnostic models.

Western medicine diagnosis is to determine the amount of specific substance, while Chinese medicine diagnosis is to determine the balance gap between your body and nature, as well as your own balance gap. Why is TCM mainly evidence-based and disease-based? Because evidence can reflect balance.

However, the same lack of balance can sometimes not be a perfect judgment of severity. The meaning of this sentence is, for example, if your pulse may be like a cold, but you are actually suffering from cancer, because it is possible that your cold has the same pulse as a certain cancer. This is where TCM diagnosis is inadequate.

You may be influenced by those magical stories and think that Chinese medicine can know any disease. Perhaps, a very skilled TCM practitioner can indeed diagnose most diseases by taking the pulse, but it is definitely not as fast and accurate as a direct examination. Finally, the most important point, as mentioned in the previous point, is to find out the evidence and find out that your body is unbalanced.

Therefore, use Western medicine to determine the disease, then use the pulse to determine the imbalance of your body, then use Western medicine to treat your disease, and use Chinese medicine to correct your balance, this is what we often call the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and it is an effective combination. Now there are some doctors who combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine, saying that they are engaged in the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, but in fact, the Chinese medicine he prescribes is also prescribed according to the disease. For example, if it is cancer, he prescribes you Western medicine to treat cancer, and prescribes you some so-called Chinese medicine to improve immunity, regardless of your syndrome, this kind of fake combination of Chinese and Western medicine is just a pure Western medicine.

Legend has it that there have been many miracle doctors since ancient times, and I also hope that these miracle doctors can really exist and teach the true skills of Chinese medicine. However, now some so-called miracle doctors are bragging about the miracle of Chinese medicine and exaggerating it, and these people are ruining the reputation of Chinese medicine, which is extremely detrimental to the development of Chinese medicine. Therefore, please also understand Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine when you see a doctor, understand the pulse, and treat your illness correctly.

I also believe in our old expert, and the plan he proposed always has his reason.
