I saw this article on the Internet, and the author combined his personal experience to analyze the principle of pulse control, which impressed me deeply, and I will share it with you to learn together. Here's what he said: For a beginner, it is indeed a challenge to feel the pulse diagnosis on its own. I had spent almost six or seven years studying Chinese medicine, but I had no idea what I was doing about my fatty liver problem. It wasn't until the 8th year of studying pulse diagnosis that a miraculous thing happened that made a difference.
One day, my mother told me that my grandmother always felt a foreign object in her mouth. I took her pulse, and it was unusually strong, hard to the touch, and beating more than 100 times a minute. According to my analysis, if an 80-year-old person is healthy, the heart should beat slowly, generally no more than 70 beats, and it should not be so forceful. There's only one explanation for thatThere may be heat in the body of the elderly, and such a strong pulse indicates that the pressure in the blood vessels is increasing, which raises another question? Is it real heat or false heat. Another metric caught my attentionThe pulse is too hard, and the hardness of the pulse indicates that the blood vessel has lost its elasticityThis is undoubtedly an indication of false heat.
The pulse of both hands is strong, but the upper head is the most powerful, which Chinese medicine calls demure and powerful, and I wonder what this situation is? The pressure of the blood compresses the blood vessels, and the blood pressure above is the most powerful, and above is the brain。I shuddered in my heart, could it be a cerebral infarction? I immediately asked my grandmother if you have a headache, and he replied a little, with a buzzing sound in his head, as if someone was talking to me. I checked the information, combined with the pulse and symptoms, and found that it was exactly the same as what Zhang Xichun described, Zhang believedThe pulse of both hands is as strong as possible, which is a sign of cerebral infarction in traditional Chinese medicine
This gave me more confidence that it was a mild infarction and that it had not yet occurred. So I asked my mother to take my grandmother for a check-up, and my mother went with my uncle. After the doctor's examination, I asked my mother to go out and talk to my uncle, and when I came back, my uncle took a CT report and said that this was a small piece of blood in the basal area of the brain, and if it took a longer time, it would have a stroke, so we should take care of it carefully, and sighed as we spoke, how did you find out? Hearing these words, I was happy next to me, and it turned out that the pulse was like this.
These days, I have a better understanding of the pulse. All the while, I wondered what it was. Until one day, while waiting for the traffic light on the road, an idea suddenly broke into my mind, what determines the life and death of a person? Is it visceral failure? Or is it cancer? I don't think so. Many of the things that really kill people all over the world are acute diseases, such as the stroke I suffered, from the perspective of Western medicine, the stroke is caused by the blockage of blood vessels, and it dawned on me. It turns out that the key to human life and death lies in the health of blood vessels, and the blockage of blood vessels is the empirical evidence, and the weakening of blood vessels is the evidence of deficiency, and other internal organ diseases and other diseases are just the final results of vascular regulation. The heart is used to transport blood, and the blood circulates through the blood vessels, continuously transmitting energy to the whole body, forming the five internal organs.
I immediately understoodThe pulse is actually probing the condition of blood vessels, and it is also the basis for studying energy. Therefore we have to put our hands on the radial artery, if the blood flow is too slow, the pulse will become stagnant. When the body is undernourished, smooth muscles weaken and blood vessels stiffen, which are all reactions of blood vessels. The ancients may not have known these scientific principles, but they hit the nail on the head to the essence of the disease.
Imagine a patient, tossed by the disease for a long time, suddenly the face is ruddy, the doctor feels the pulse, the pulse is strong and fast, a quack doctor said that the person is very healthy, but the famous doctor on the side is thoughtful, and also reached out to touch the pulse, the result is the same as the former, and then he pressed it hard, and found that the patient's pulse has no ** power, indicating that the heart is weak, even if the pulse is strong, the heart is barely supported, dying, the famous doctor shook his head and sighed that the general trend has gone, and then the patient with a ruddy face began to pant and quickly died. This is a typical life and death ** scene, it seems that now it seems that the life and death of medical skills is not mysterious at all, after a period of thinking and practice, I gradually mastered the way of pulse diagnosis.
Why is the pulse in the left hand strong but the right hand weak? At this time, I fully understood that there is a saying in Chinese medicine, which is often regarded as a metaphysical superstition, but I have been searching for various scientific materials to try to sort out its truth. Until one day, I suddenly saw a dynamic CT of the heart, and I was shocked, I didn't expect the heart to be so rapid and so powerful when it drained blood. Since most of the heart is on the left, I suddenly realized, since the left side of the force is strong, energy problems are generally not found on the left, what you may find is usually the problem of blood, the problem of blood is nothing more than blood stasis and blood deficit, if your blood drainage is strong enough, blood stasis and blood deficit will be accelerated and amplified, just like a stream of water is pushed by a strong force, if the water trickle is weak, it is not because of the lack of power behind it, but because the water source is too little, maybe this is what the ancients called the main blood of the left handThe right side, on the other hand, is usually farther away from the heart and is less powerful than the heart to expel blood, making it suitable for detecting energy problems. There is no advantage in proximity, and once the pulse is weak, it is an indication of insufficient cardiac and muscle dynamicsIs the root cause of the lack of qi in Chinese medicine the left blood and right qi?
A line is divided from the middle of the body, with the aorta leading to the heart on the left and the main vein running parallel to the right side. Clinically, it is common for the left side to be healthy and the right side to have problems, but is this not related to these two important blood vessels? Many years later, I read Mr. Hu Xishu's writings and found that his views were very similar to mine, and he also thoughtThe heart is located on the left side and is the source of the left blood and right qi。I suddenly realized,The core of the pulse is soft and elastic, and the powerful impact of the heart, if it acts on a blood vessel that is not elastic, can be fatal and can easily lead to the rupture of blood vessels. Therefore, the ancients often said that the pulse should be gentle and steady, and its essence is softness, and after understanding this, I gradually began to master the technique of pulse. I realized that the slowness and strength of my left hand indicated that my liver and gallbladder were vigorous, and that there was stasis and weak pulse in my right hand, indicating that my spleen and stomach function were insufficient, and the lack of spleen and stomach function led to the accumulation of liver and gallbladder, and finally formed the fat described by Western medicine, and the liver metabolism disorder.
It turns out that only by mastering the pulse can we gain insight into the essence of the body, so I worked harder to learn the pulse, because I wanted to go deeper into more things, such as what kind of person is prone to sudden death, which kind of person is prone to tumors, which kind of person has a lot of water, all this is just science, the pulse is not an illusionary thing, it is actually very simple.
