Diagnosis through Pulse Examination (Nadi-Pareeksha)

The art and science of examination of pulse was well developed in ancient India. Fortunately, some of the Ayurvedic literature is still available to us. A humble attempt is made here to present most of the literature on pulse in a systematic manner. The literal meaning of the Texts as far as possible has been adhered to and the basic concepts are presented in the original form. The relevant Sanskrut verses together with references are also given.
