Is it Safe?
Pulse diagnosis is a technique used in traditional Asian systems of medicine including traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda). Practitioners of these systems of medicine check the pulse for strength, speed, and other qualities. They believe that certain pulse qualities indicate energy imbalances in specific organs or areas of the body. Treatments are often guided based on these pulse qualities.
There are no known safety concerns. However, don't rely on pulse diagnosis to identify or diagnose medical conditions instead of getting a check-up that uses modern methods of diagnosing disease.
