Nadi pariksha refers to pulse assessment in the Ayurvedic tradition. Practitioners describe pulse qualities using the language of doshas and other traditional concepts.
Limits of the method
A traditional pulse interpretation should not be presented as more reliable than a person’s reported symptoms, diagnostic tests or a medical examination. It does not establish the cause of a condition by itself.
Remote appointments
A video consultation allows discussion of history and reports; it does not allow the practitioner to physically feel a pulse. An in-person assessment should be arranged where an examination is necessary.
