Nadi Vigyan
Nadi Vigyan or the science of pulse diagnosis used for early detection of physical, mental or emotional imbalances in body through pulses. As per Lada Parampara, pulse examination can be done through eight different points on body, the most common one being radial pulse diagnosis on wrist. This examination helps in diagnosing any imbalance in Prakiriti doshas – Vatta (Pingala), Pitta (Ida) and Kapha (Sushumna) as well as Panch Mahabhootas – the five elements of universe.
In the hands of a Nadi Chikitsak (Pulse Examiner), the pulse can reveal any disturbance in the equilibrium, and reveal diseases before overtly symptoms are visible. This is done by placing three fingers below the wrist and measuring the radial artery – the Vata pulse is felt under the index finger, the Pitta pulse is taken under the middle finger, and the Kapha pulse is located under the ring finger. The nadi practitioner can take the pulse at other parts of the body as well, thereby gaining a very complete picture of the state of health of any patient. Early morning, with an empty stomach is the best time to take a patient’s pulse.
This technique was used to diagnose mental and physical problems in any person during the time when advanced medical technologies such as blood tests, imaging, etc. were unavailable. So as per Lada Parampara, Nadi or pulses are vibrations generated by the body, speaking about the body. Nadi Vigyan is also associated with Chakras, and with proper knowledge as well as experience of pulse reading, the body’s past, present and future health conditions can be estimated accurately. Hence, any current or incurring diseases can be diagnosed with this method, making it possible to cure diseases in early stages, or prevented before occurrence.
