Abstract

Pulse occupies a very significant role in diagnosing the state of a person, be it health or disease. There have been so many classical manuscripts written on pulse by Unani scholars which are of great clinical importance. There are several factors that provide the inherent pulse. These factors are the vital power of the heart itself, the elasticity of the artery, and the resistance, or urge, of the force of the pulse. These factors will not provide variation in the pulse, but together they are responsible for the normal pulse in any person. But there are a host of non-essential factors that may produce changes in the pulse such as as age, season, changing temperament, bathing, exercise etc. This paper descriptively discuss the causes of pulse, types of pulse, Nabḍ Murakkab (compound pulse) and its causes, effect of various factors on pulse as well as the application of all of the above as described by the Unani scholars.

Keywords: Pulse, Unani, Nabd? Murakkab.
