Pulses and psychic? - Pulse Vs the Hara

[Guest guest]

Pulse taking is a practiced art which is open to anyone, and incredibly,

does not

require any inborn aptitude or special powers.

 

On another tack, one keeps running into this question, is the Hara a

better arbiter of illness than the

pulse profile.

 

For one thing pulses are ever changing, running in wax and wane on the 3

x 6 positions on each

wrist, which in practice is really just 3 into 2.

 

The Hara remains steady, is manifest enough to give a rough reading,

which can be refined

with more detailed palpation.

Dr Holmes,

Both are good. It is fascinating to treat according to the pulse and then

recheck the abdomen or vice versa, treat according to the abdomen and feel

that the pulse has changed.

 

Apart from being good for the Px, it is also lots of fun to see these

changes take place right there in clinic. A practitioner then knows the

effectiveness of the treatment and can also teach themselves more about the

pulse if good on the abdomen or more about the abdomen if good on the pulse.

 

Both are like widows, allowing different views of the Px.

Best wishes,

Hara is the tummy, anterior abdominal wall. Extends from costal margin

to inguinal

ligament and to the sides to a vertical line from armpit to ilium.

 

There are many thoughts as to what represents what; I have a homegrown

version

which works for me. I like the simplistic, easier than falling off the

chair approach:

 

On mid line from where sternum ends to the pubis:

Above navel - above downwards: HT ST SP

Below navel - above downwards: SP K BL

Around navel - 1 cm or so - K

Around navel again - .5 cm or so outside K - SP

 

To the sides of the mid line:

R of navel - LU

L of navel - LV

 

Getting the 5 E bearings:

LV at L of mid line or navel

HT at mid line topmost position

SP at circle around navel about 1.5 cm

ST at middle of line above navel

K at circle around navel about 1 cm or so

BL at bottom of mid line abutting the pubis

 

GB huh?

On chest wall, 2 to 3 inches below and to the R of R nipple

SI? 3 to 4 cun below navel

LI on horizontal line at navel at 2 inches either side

In practice look for it a cun below text location

 

Signs:

hollowed, full, pencil like feel, indurated, discolored, hot, cold,

freezing.

 

Commonest signs:

pencil at ST

hollow below navel - K weakness

hollow just above pubis - UB

 

Kiiko's signs:

2 cun below and 2 cun to the lateral on L of navel - LV stagnation, Oketsu

2 cun below and 2 cun to the lateral on R of navel - LU stagnation, Oketsu

 

Discoloration:

small very red macules abdomen above navel below costal margin - surefire LV

brown spots - trapped Heat

white spots - LU Empty

 

All above is Hara diagnosis, somewhat off the cuff, but very workable in

clinic.
