The principles of Ayurveda follow the natural way to diagnose diseases and bring back balance to the body. Pulse diagnosis was initially identified in the 13th century highlighting the correlation between Nadi and Tridosha. However, Nadi Pariksha gained its significance during the 17th century. It gives a deep insight into a patient’s body type (prakruti, classified under vata/ pitta/ kapha) and the various imbalances (vikruti) in the body and mind. It provides a holistic solution based on the person’s prakruti/ vikruti and prescribes corrective lifestyle, diet, and wellness supplements. The diagnosis is non-invasive and does not require the use of medical equipment, machines etc.

More background of Ayurveda & Nadi Pariksha
The concepts of universal interconnectedness, the body's constitution (prakriti), and life forces (doshas) are the primary basis of ayurvedic medicine. Goals of treatment aid the person by eliminating impurities, reducing symptoms, increasing resistance to disease, reducing worry, and increasing harmony in life.
According to Ayurveda we are made up of the five elements and individual consciousness (jivatman). These five elements (maha bhutas) are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space and the combination of these elements give rise to three doshas, which is VATA, PITTA & KAPHA. The doshas are the psychological and physiological tendencies found in all of us.
