How to regulate a deep pulse?

We all know that Chinese medicine practitioners take the patient's pulse when diagnosing a disease, because the human pulse often indicates what kind of disease the body has. After further diagnosis, Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a pulse condition called deep pulse, but patients themselves still don't understand this pulse condition very well. So, what is the best way to treat a deep pulse?

Experts say that deep pulse indicates internal symptoms. If the pathogenic factors are trapped inside the body and the Qi and blood are trapped inside, the pulse will be deep and strong, which is a sign of interior excess. If the internal organs are weak, the Qi and blood are insufficient, and the pulse is weak, the pulse will be deep and weak, which is a sign of interior deficiency.

The deep pulse must be distinguished from the approximate pulse and the hidden pulse. Both the deep pulse and the hidden pulse are located deep under the skin and need to be pressed hard to be felt, but the deep pulse is close to the tendons and bones, in the middle of the muscle, and beats evenly, while the hidden pulse can only be felt when the tendons and bones are pushed. Deep pulse and floating pulse are opposite pulse conditions. In clinical practice, deep pulse is often accompanied by rapid, slow, slippery, stringy, weak, and slow pulses.

Petechiae on the tongue are signs of blood stasis. A deep and slow pulse indicates spleen deficiency, while a thin and thin pulse indicates qi and blood deficiency.
