Not necessarily. It varies according to the treatment of each disease in each specialty.

For example, orthopedic joint dislocation, reset the external fixation after rest can be, the importance of pulse is relatively low. Skin diseases in general scabies, with some kill scabies external medicine can be, the pulse is not very meaningful. But for the vast majority of internal medicine, women and pediatrics diseases, really need to take the pulse, otherwise it is difficult to grasp the scale.

I do not need to take the pulse, see the person to know the disease, touch the skin to know the disease, tongue diagnosis, hand diagnosis, face diagnosis, back diagnosis, touch diagnosis, pulse, experience diagnosis, etc., are a good Chinese medicine practitioner has. The longer the years of experience, the more cases, experience in treating the sick hand to cure the disease. There is no such thing as crazy talk.

Chinese medicine practitioners must of course take the pulse! The diagnosis of Chinese medicine emphasizes on looking, smelling, asking and cutting! By looking at the patient's physical signs, skin color, the state of the five senses, mental state; listening to the patient's speech wheezing walking sound, smell the patient with or without body odor, including breath, body odor; ask the patient's discomfort and pain and related to diet, stools, sleep, etc.; put the patient's pulse condition. Through the four treasures to collect the patient's information, comprehensive analysis, to find out the cause of the disease, dialectical analysis of the patient's pattern, for the prescription of drugs to lay a precise foundation! So that the diagnosis is accurate and the treatment is effective! Therefore, Chinese medicine diagnosis pulse is a must!

I am a Chinese medicine practitioner and know the importance of pulse diagnosis ...... came to a female patient complaining of dizziness, no other symptoms! After pulse diagnosis, it is recommended to do an early pregnancy test ...... reference-based ......

The Four Diagnostics and Eight Syllabi are the guiding programs for identifying and treating illnesses in TCM.

This is a question I happened to have watched, and Master Ni Haixia's video talks about it, according to Master Ni Haixia

Attention to the four diagnostic Wang Wenqianqie, the actual diagnosis is also in accordance with, Wang Wenqianqie order, in an actual diagnostic process, most do not need to put all the diagnostic procedures all the implementation of the end, some and look and know, if the pillow can not be determined to use the smell, the smell diagnosis can not be determined, and then with the questioning, questioning can not be determined, and then finally cut the vein of the way to determine.

According to Master Ni Haixia, a good idea would be to rarely use pulse cutting for diagnosis, as the vast majority of stages can be fully determined by the first three modalities, and only the more complex etiologies are encountered by pulse cutting.

Judging from the Chinese medicine practitioners we have encountered so far, such masters are very few in reality, so it creates an illusion for us, as if we pay attention to the way we must cut the pulse to make a diagnosis!

Chinese medicine diagnosis is called the Four Diagnostic Harmonizations, looking, smelling, asking and cutting.

The relationship between the four can be "with" or "or". If one or two or three of them can be determined, then there is no need for a fourth diagnosis; if not, then all four diagnoses will come, which is the relationship of "with".

As long as the face-to-face visit, then we strongly recommend that the pulse must be taken, even if the other several diagnostic can be determined, then the final pulse "audit" is not better?

But sometimes patients call WeChat to ask about the disease, then you can not take the pulse, then you have to lack a door, the good thing is that you can also look at the face of the tongue through WeChat, and it is not too far from the topic.

The so-called diagnosis is to make a judgment by all kinds of information that can be explored, of course, the more information the better.

The four diagnostics, masters can diagnose a person's condition by looking, sniffing and asking. Masters look at the color, look at the shape, look at the eyes, look at the tongue, look at the hair, etc.; smell, listen to breathing, listen to talk, listen to coughing, etc.; ask, ask the patient's pain, feeling, life rules, listen to the patient's complaints, etc.. Cutting the pulse is the last diagnosis, will not speak, deaf and mute, etc. with it. Of course, will cut the pulse, can cut the pulse is also considered a good diagnosis of the doctor.

Chinese medicine practitioners do not necessarily need to take a pulse to cure a disease!

If your condition is simple and mild, and you can accurately grasp your condition by other methods, you may not take your pulse. The reasoning is very simple, to determine whether you are male or female, I through you have a throat joints, beard, hairstyle, clothing, speech and demeanor, a glance can judge accurately, there is no need to let you take off the bottom to check the genitals, and even less need to slice with a magnifying glass, microscope observation.

Of course, taking the pulse is also important and sometimes necessary. There are only four words in Chinese medicine for diagnostic means, looking, smelling, questioning and cutting. Cutting, i.e., taking the pulse and cutting and pressing. When looking, smelling and asking three diagnostic methods can not provide a comprehensive diagnostic basis, especially when the condition is complex, serious and variable, certainly must take the pulse, not only that, but also must be 4 diagnosis and reference, in order to accurately reflect the condition. The reason is also very simple, to determine your gender, if you are a yin and yang person or a demon, then, just rely on the general ordinary conventional methods will not be enough.

Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners are generally required to take the pulse when diagnosing a disease. Of course, certain conditions without pulse can be. This is not a contradiction.

More than happy to answer this question, I'm Lichigo, follow me to discuss more together!

Chinese medicine, which has a history of many years in our country, emphasizes the four aspects of "looking, smelling, questioning and cutting":

First of all, it is the "look" diagnosis, by looking at the patient's qi, face, body condition and the condition of the tongue, then this is the "look" diagnosis.

Next is the "smell" diagnosis, through the smell of the patient's nostrils, smell the patient's body odor whether there is a difference, whether it is a normal smell to identify the individual's physical condition.

Again, it is a "questioning" consultation, in which the patient is asked and answered to find out more about the patient's condition, any pain, discomfort, and so on.

Then the fourth diagnosis is to touch the patient's body through finger cuts, to cut the pulse, to cut the pressure and pain, and so on.

Therefore, pulse-taking is the "cutting" diagnosis of the four diagnoses of Chinese medicine, and it is the most important part, because through the "cutting" diagnosis, we can know the patient's condition most clearly, for example, we watch TV dramas in which the most familiar happy pulse is confirmed through pulse-taking (cutting diagnosis)!
