How to treat a weak pulse

From ancient times to the present, Chinese medicine has been very famous, and traditional Chinese medicine is even more magical. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes pulse diagnosis and massage. It is generally said that a deep and thin pulse is caused by weak qi and blood. Some people always feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and their sleep quality is very poor, and they are prone to nightmares. These are all manifestations of a deep and thin pulse. You can take Chinese medicine for conditioning, or you can use the most commonly used acupuncture and cupping in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. The following is a detailed introduction.

Feeling the pulse is one of the four diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. Palpation is divided into pulse diagnosis and massage. Pulse diagnosis is mainly based on the Cunkou method in later generations, and is divided into twenty-eight pulses based on the position, number, shape, and strength of the pulse in order to detect internal diseases of the body. Symptoms include chest tightness and pain or left chest pain that comes and goes, palpitations and shortness of breath, insomnia and nightmares, limb fatigue and weakness, or difficulty digesting food, or feeling full after eating, thin white tongue coating, petechiae on the tip of the tongue, and a deep and slow pulse or a deep and fine pulse. Thin pulse indicates deficiency of both Qi and blood, various kinds of fatigue and fatigue, and also dampness diseases. A thin pulse must be distinguished from a faint, weak, or moist pulse. Although a thin pulse is as thin as a thread, it should be obvious and have clear rise and fall; a subtle pulse is extremely thin and soft, seeming to be there and not there; a weak pulse is deep, thin and soft, and requires hard pressing to be felt; a moist pulse is floating, thin and soft, and its position is superficial. Thin pulse and surging pulse are opposite pulse conditions. Clinically, thin pulse is often accompanied by rapid, stringy, moist, deep, and astringent pulses.

Deep pulse: one of the pulse conditions. The pulse is deep and does not respond to light pressure, but can be felt only when pressed hard. "Pulse Classic": A deep pulse is insufficient when lifted, but excessive when pressed.

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.

Thin pulse: The pulse is as thin as a thread but should refer to an obvious pulse condition. Also known as small vein.
