Abstract

The importance of Nadi Parikshas is well known and Ayurvedic doctors use them to measure various physical and mental ailments of the patient as well as Tridoshas. In traditional texts, Nadi Parikshas discuss the subject in detail with short passages. Recently, pulse wave propagation has attracted scientific attention as it is considered a favorable indicator of heart disease. However, researchers have not investigated the relationship between pulse wave measurement and Nadi Parikshas. In this review, we discuss the traditional methods of Nadi Parikshas mentioned in Ayurvedic scriptures, as well as the latest advances in pulse wave measurement. According to classical literature, pulse quality

and characteristics such as pulse strength (gati), pulse rate (vega), pulse stability (sthiratva) and arterial stiffness (kathinya) play an important role in Nadi Pariksha. In this study, these features were analyzed and compared with traditional pulse wave parameters (e.g., pulse wave velocity, pulse wave frequency variability and arterial stiffness).

KEY WORDS:- Nadi pariksha, Tridosha, Clinical Diagnosis, Traditional Practices, Arterial stiffness.
