From times
immemorial the practitioners of Ayurveda have correctly diagnosed and
treated ailments without the help of any tests except that of the pulse.
The radial pulse is usually chosen as the site to examine the pulse. It
reveals the characteristics of imbalances, the nature of the disease and
expected prognosis.
Characteristics
of Pulse
The distinctly
different pulse movements (gati) for each dosha type are:
VATA
PULSE
PITTA
PULSE

Narrow, Feeble, Cool, Irregular
Rate is 80-100 beats per minute The placement of the index finger
denotes the pulse of Vata. When this pulse predominates, the index
finger feels the throbbing more strongly. And the pulse feels like the
movement of a snake, quick and slithery.
2) Jumping,
Excite, Prominent, Hot, Moderate, Regular Rate is 70-80 beats per
minute. The placement of the middle finger denotes the pulse of Pitta.
When this pulse predominates, the middle finger gets a stronger feel; it
is active and jumpy like the movement of a frog.

denotes the pulse of Kapha. When this pulse predominates, the ring
finger feels the strongest effect. This pulse is slow and resembles the
floating of a swan.
Examination of
Movement (Gati) and Their Conditions
The point to be
remembered here being although early morning is the ideal time for pulse
examination specially on an empty stomach, in case of an emergency, it
can be examined at any time of the day or night for proper diagnosis.
