Patient's question:
Number your pulse and say male left, female right, how did it come about? Can you do it at home? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The first time you asked what kind of help you wanted: Tell me how to number your pulse.Doctor's answer:
When taking the pulse, whether it's for men or women, both hands need to be used to feel. It's not as simple as "left for men and right for women," and this viewpoint is not part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The right and left hands represent different organs and their corresponding pulse characteristics. It's not easy to learn quickly if you're not trained in TCM, and even those who are trained may not master it fully. So, this isn't something that can be explained simply or quickly. If you don't have the conditions to learn it in a short time, you should first buy a book on the basic theory of TCM and read it. This is the most fundamental step. The above advice is for the question "How does the 'left for men and right for women' pulse-taking method come about? How should one take their own pulse?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
