Multiple specifications of the pulse:

1) The pulse is different for different people...and accordingly, a perfect pulse...and what may be normal and normal for one person may be a sick condition for another person. Therefore, the basic normal pulse of each person must be known through extensive experience. Without this, a healthy, normal pulse may be misunderstood; He proceeds to treat the person from an imaginary condition... which may cause a disease instead of curing the original ailment. As an example, some people, in their normal state of health, have an active and rapid pulse as reflected in the measurement of the wrist pulse or what is called the radial pulse... while the pulse of other people is characterized as immediate while they are in their normal condition. And if an attempt is made to tone or stimulate the pulse of any of these two types of persons by tingling in specific points of the body, then a disease may result for each of them ... An example of this is that the African Negro is white, which is considered a satisfactory condition.

2) When all the superficial and internal pulse sites have an active and always full pulse, then the condition is called in Chinese “full bloody yin and yank”. Full blood yen.

3) If the surface and internal impulses are weak, it is called "weak yin and total yang". In the same way, there can be "weak total yin" and "weak total yang".

4) If the pulse in position (1) of the previous table is more dynamic than in position (3), then it is said that the “yank” is more vital than the “yen” and vice versa.

e) If the pulse in the left radial vessel is stronger than that of the left radial vessel, it is said that there is an increase in the yank. If it is the other way around, it is said that there is an increase in the "yen".
