What does the pulse tell you?

Many Chinese Medicine physicians feel the pulse and use it as a diagnostic tool.

A pulse is to its owner as the Moon is to the Sun. The Moon doesn't have its own light. It reflects the light of the Sun.

So does the pulse reflect the Qi of the body.

A skilled pulse reader can detect subtle notes and changes and discern a state of internal health or disease.

She talked to me about pulse in this way.
