Name/Title

Pulse rest of jade

Description

Chinese jade pulse rest used in diagnosing medical conditions by noting variations in the pulse rate and intensity. Below Wang Shu-ho (fourth century) Ancient Chinese physicians made pulse diagnosis an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. There were twenty-eight different pulse patterns to be determined at eighteen different locations, six on each wrist occupying three different positions. It took between five and ten years of supervision in order to learn this diagnostic tool, and few “masters” were able to reach the highest levels of proficiency.
