Dr. Sangeeta Gupta, Dr. B. Kothainayagi

Abstract :

 Naadi pariksha or radial pulse examination is the foremost among the eightfold examination described in Ayurvedic text for the general examination of a patient and is the most revealing one1.As we know that any disease starts much before it is detected through any diagnostic tests or instruments; naadi lays a specific key to early diagnosis. Ayurveda gave special importance to it due to the fact that whole Ayurvedic Science is dependent on the concept of Tridosha i.e., basic vital life supporting  energies which are best assessed by naadi pariksha. Character of Naadi not only reveals the quantum or state of dosha, but it is also helpful in knowing certain diseases directly. If we talk about the wisdom of ayurveda, Naadi pariksha stands on first hand as a non invasive technique for early diagnosis of a disease without any physical tools in today’s world of science and technology.
