Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis

The secrets of an ancient science - pulse diagnosis

In this unique work, the world-famous Ayurvedic doctor Dr. Vasant Lad introduces us to the secrets of Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis. Starting with the distinction between the three basic types (doshas) of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, the reader gradually opens up a whole universe of diagnostic possibilities. In addition to the seven properties of the pulse such as rhythm, volume and temperature, the health of all organs can be assessed based on the seven levels. This includes complaints such as asthma, stomach ulcers, heart, kidney and liver diseases and even psychoses. An experienced therapist can even determine pregnancy from the pulse in the first few weeks after conception, determine the gender and make other statements about the unborn child. Feeling the pulse is an art that requires practice and sensitivity.

Once you have mastered it, you have a highly developed diagnostic tool that no machine can replace. Vasant Lad is characterized by impressive humility. His explanations are simple and crystal clear and can be understood and learned step by step by the Western reader. He goes far beyond the known literature and presents examinations in a level of detail that cannot be found anywhere else. A gem of Ayurvedic literature. "The work describes a unique method for assessing the pulse, which increases the sensitivity and awareness of the therapist and helps to directly perceive the deep causes that affect the body." B. Cook Lecturer at the Wellpark College of Natural Therapies.

Shakti Mat
Do you know the Shakti Mat? A guide to relaxation and health.
At the Shakti Mat it is a kind of nail mat, which is equipped with pointed studs made of hard plastic.

When you lie on it, the pressure is distributed across these many small points, which in turn stimulate the skin and the underlying tissue. This stimulation also reaches the organ and nervous systems along the meridians.
