The Ancient Science of Pulse Diagnosis

Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Diagnosis) is one of the oldest and most respected diagnostic methods in Ayurveda. Its roots can be traced back to the ancient Ayurvedic tradition, where experienced Vaidyas (Ayurvedic physicians) assessed the pulse to understand the body’s internal balance before planning treatment.

Classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and later specialized works like the Nadi Vigyan describe the importance of observing the body’s natural signs to understand health and disease. Over centuries, this knowledge was preserved through the Guru–Shishya Parampara (Teacher–Disciple Tradition), where pulse examination was learned through years of disciplined study, observation, and clinical practice.

Unlike a mechanical technique, Nadi Pariksha is considered a refined clinical skill that develops through continuous learning and experience. It is traditionally used alongside detailed history taking, physical examination, and other Ayurvedic methods to understand the patient’s overall health.

At S.S Ayurvedic Ausdhalya, Dr. Bijender Singh Jaglan has devoted decades to learning and practicing this ancient science. His journey began in 1992 under the guidance of his Guru, followed by advanced learning in Bihar and Himachal Pradesh, where he further deepened his understanding of classical Ayurveda and Nadi Pariksha. Today, this knowledge continues to guide personalized Ayurvedic care for every patient.
