Abstract

Objectives This study is designed to examine the relationship between healthy state (完實無病) of Sasang constitution and pulse wave (脈波). Methods The subjects were 100 patients who were diagnosed with Sasang constitution and underwent pulse analyzer test. The status of urination, defecation, perspiration, and digestion was classified as good, intermediate, and poor. The power, depth, speed, and roughness of pulse waves (脈波) were analyzed. Results Patients with poor digestion had relatively powerless pulse wave (無力脈). Soeumin patients had a higher rate of poor digestion compared to other constitutions. Soyangin patients had a higher rate of poor perspiration compared to other constitutions. Soyangin with poor defecation had relatively choppy pulse wave (澁脈), and poor perspiraton had relatively slippery (滑脈). Soeumin patients with poor digestion had relatively powerless pulse wave (無力脈). Conclusions The pulse wave of poor healthy state (完實無病) is an expression of a pathological syndromes (病證) caused by lack of or damage to healthy energy (保命之主). It was concluded that the pulse analyzer can be used to evaluate healthy state (完實無病).
