Pulse diagnosis: Chinese pulse is an important aspect of Chinese medical diagnosis, ... the main method of pulse reading is an effective method because it is sensitive to the seeds of disorder often decades before manifestation of the disease. (Acupuncture and Moxibustion, 1987, p. 35).

CONT

The truly great discovery made by the Chinese, as regards the Chinese pulse, was that through the Chinese pulse, it is possible to read not merely the health of the organism as a whole, but that of each inner organ separately, whether it had much or little energy. (Acupuncture Therapy, 1973, p. 35).
