High-Amplitude, Bounding Pitta Pulse
A rapid, forceful, and leaping pulse felt strongly under the middle finger, indicating acute inflammation, high fever, and systemic toxicity.
Description
The Ayurvedic practitioner uses three fingers to feel the radial pulse, assessing the specific rhythms associated with Vata, Pitta, and Kapha energies. Originating thousands of years ago in India, this method detects early signs of systemic fever and immune activation. It provides a holistic view of how the viral infection is affecting the patient's constitution.
