Nadi Pariksha: The great diagnostic tool that everyone must take.

In the world of holistic health, Nadi Pariksha is a powerful tool. Many people are curious about what this ancient practice reveals. Let’s explore the details of Nadi Pariksha, uncover its secrets and share insights that go beyond the usual understanding. Join us on a journey where ancient meets modern and Nadi Pariksha whispers wisdom for holistic well being

The details of what all are revealed during Nadi Pariksha is mentioned below:

  1. Every aspect of the human organism, the Body, Mind etc. is understood during the Pulse Diagnosis.
  2. Apart from understanding the Cause of the current ailments, the Diagnosis tracks the disease back to its origin. Even subtler levels of causal factors like emotional issues or specific thought patterns of the individual, that manifest into physical ailments subsequently are understood.

Nadi Pariksha is undertaken to understand the following aspects of an individual:

  1. Helps to ascertain “One’s Original Constitution at the time of Conception” (Prakruti). This forms the basis of deciding the basis and structure of the individualized Healing process.
  2. Helps to understand “One’s Current Constitution as against the Original Constitution” (Vikruti). The diagnosis ascertains the deviation that the body and mind have taken as compared to its original constitution. Also, it enables one to understand the prognosis of ailments that have arisen during this transition from Prakruti to Vikruti.
  3. Nadi Pariksha successfully tracks down the altered state of the mind. This is very important as the science of Ayurveda believes that a major part of human ailments are psychosomatic. This is so because the only way the Mind can express itself is through the body. Therefore, the body works to a very large extent according to the dictates of the mind.
  4. The analysis of the Doshas, the subtle entities of the psycho–physiological body. Any alteration in the Doshas can lead to the understanding of the disease process. The doshas like Vata, Pitta & Kapha and their sub-units help in understanding:
    • The movement of energies and the working of the nervous system, circulation as defined by the pulsation of the heart, and the movement of nutrition to various tissues in the body.
    • The metabolic process and the process of bio-transformation in the body govern the activities of Digestion, Absorption & Assimilation of Nutrition.
    • The assimilating and binding functions through the help of bodily fluids, which includes the Proper and Healthy formation of Muscles, Bones, Ligaments and Tendons etc.
  5. The study of the health of various types of tissues in the body like Plasma, Blood, Muscle, Marrow, Bone, Nerve and reproduction.
  6. The health of the Chakras or the subtle energy wheels in the body that correspond to the glands in the physical body is ascertained. Chakras relate to and control certain physiological processes in the body.

After doing the Nadi Pariksha, other forms of examination are taken up. This is done to cross-examine the correctness of the Pulse Diagnosis. These various methods are highlighted as under:

  • NAILS The shape and size of nails reveal the type of constitution a person belongs to. For example, small nails with serrated edges (bitten by a person due to anxiety or nervousness signify a Vata nail.  Pitta’s nails are slightly larger with a slight curvature in the middle that resembles a semi “D” shape.  These nails when pressed at the top will reveal a slight yellow tinge in the centre. A Kapha nail is usually large.  These nails normally will be whitish. The surface of the nail is usually large.

Indications: Vata nails have vertical lines that look like deep serrations or ridges. Pitta nails, apart from having vertical ridges (not always necessary) can also have reddish lines along these ridges starting from the bottom of the nail and running towards the top. Kapha nails may have a larger curvature in the centre owing to the larger surface area.

  •  TONGUE – The tongue reveals all the organs of the body and particularly reveals the aspects of Digestion and Assimilation of food. It reveals the kind of digestive disorders and which of the 3 doshas were responsible or are in a state of imbalance. the type of ailment is also revealed.
