When we take your pulse we look for the rate and speed of course, but also for the quality your pulse has. It may feels like a tight wire under our fingers and often means you are stressed. Or it may feel like a small thread and often tells us you are deficient and need to be tonified.
You also may notice our 3 fingers kind of playing piano on your wrists. In chinese medicine, each wrist has 3 pulse positions and each corresponds to an organ. Your right wrist tells us a lot about your Lungs, digestive system and your reproductive system and your left one tells us about your stress level (liver), emotions (heart) and overall constitution (kidneys). The pulse is like the tongue observation, a great tool of Chinese medicine and helps us make a good diagnosis for a better treatment.
