🕉️ Your wrist holds secrets about your body, mind & soul.

Ayurveda’s ancient science of Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis) can reveal imbalances, diseases & even mental states - just by feeling the pulse.

Here’s how Rishis mastered this timeless art 🧵👇

1️⃣ Nadi = Pulse.
It reflects the movement of Prana (life force) through the body.
Ayurvedic doctors use 3 fingers on the radial artery:
Index → Vata
Middle → Pitta
Ring → Kapha
Each finger feels a unique rhythm.

2️⃣ Pitta Nadi:
Felt under middle finger
Strong, hot, forceful, high amplitude
Moves like a frog
Indicates metabolism, digestion, fire element.
When imbalanced → acidity, anger, inflammation.

3️⃣ Vata Nadi:
Felt under index finger
Fast, feeble, cold, thin
Disappears on pressure
Moves like a snake
Reflects air & space elements.
Imbalance → anxiety, insomnia, joint pain.

4️⃣ Kapha Nadi:
Felt under ring finger
Deep, slow, broad, wavy, cool, regular
Moves like a swan gracefully
Represents water & earth elements.
Imbalance → lethargy, obesity, mucus disorders.

5️⃣ Charaka Samhita says:
“The pulse mirrors the dance of doshas within.”
Just as modern medicine uses ECG/HRV, Ayurveda used the pulse as a diagnostic window into the body & mind - centuries ahead of time.

6️⃣ Benefits of Nadi Pariksha:
Detects dosha imbalance before disease manifests
Identifies root causes, not just symptoms
Gives personalized diet & lifestyle guidance
Connects physical & mental health

7️⃣ Modern science is catching up:
Studies show pulse analysis correlates with autonomic nervous system states - stress, digestion, rest.

What Ayurveda called Vata, Pitta, Kapha, science sees as variations in heart-rate patterns.

Pulse is not just a beat.
It’s the language of your life-force.
Rishis needed no machines.
Just their trained fingertips.
And they could diagnose what even AI struggles to decode today.
