Hand: Health Analysis using Nadi Detection – A Pervasive Approach
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
In modern world the chronic diseases like cancer and its types, diabetes, obesity, heart strokes etc are much dependent on surgical treatments where the analysis is done only after scanning the body, X-rays or through the medicinal tests by pills. But in ancient India, the saints also called as Vaidyas used to analyze the condition of human body by understanding and reading the Nadi which is nothing but the human pulse. Nadi Vaidyam is an ancient Indian Ayurveda methodology for diagnosis through the human pulse. Through this nadi vaidyam, Vaidyas understand accurately both the physical and mental condition of the human body and its imbalances very precisely. It not only identifies the symptoms but also finds the root cause of health issues. Nadi Vaidyam prewarns about potential health hazards. It gives an insight for enhancing the human health in accordance with the elements which are prevailing in body. Various dreadful diseases like cancer, obesity, infertility, diabetes, paralysis, hypertension, mental disorders, skin diseases and severe joint pains can be detected by this Nadi Vaidyam[1]. In ancient days, Vaidyas used to know the condition of the body just through the pulse of the human being and they were succeeded in treating the people. As the days passed on, the usage of pulse diagnosis has become almost to an end. The benefits of this are accuracy, faster, efficiency, future prediction, money savior and no pain for scanning, blood test etc., The modern technology which is more dependent on the surgical treatments on the body may not cure the root cause of the disease. The disease can be cured if it is known in early stages of attack. Technology should provide the services that help the common people to live happily for long tenure. People usually want to be in their place and be independent for as long as they can [2]. It is thereby essential to develop a device that provides the health condition of the person very accurately and quickly without consulting the doctor. Nadi Vaidyam can detect energy blockages through pulse points and through which one can understand what the problem is. The best time to check the pulse is in the early morning, physiologically the least active time of the day. Three fingers are used to check pulse points, the middle, index, and ring, with the index finger placed closest to the wrist crease. At first, the three positions are palpated simultaneously, initially, lightly, then with medium pressure, and finally more strongly. After this, each position is checked separately. Different systems are used whereby the pulse at each position is identified with certain organs. When the pulse is taken, attention is given to the frequency, amplitude and quality of the pulse. A normal pulse is distinct, discernible to the fingertip upon medium pressure, and can still be palpated with the application of heavy pressure.
