The theory of three biological forces – dosha – is only the outer shell of a deeper Ayurvedic concept, in which each of the doshas is the quintessence of five complementary systems of regulation. They are called “subdoshas”.

Elaborating upon a theme, that we have begun in the article “A practical example of the assessment’s results analysis from the perspective of Ayurveda”. We have at our disposal several assessments of one patient. This allows us to study the dynamics of his condition in detail.

For those who have just begun learning about “Vedapulse” with this article, we want to remind that the program includes both – HRV (heart rate variability) algorithms – method recognized by the modern academic medicine, and algorithms, resulted from the traditional Ayurveda pulse diagnosis’ techniques.

In the process of new users’ training, we have found that all of them make the same mistakes. Let’s consider them with the specific case study. This material should be read by all who have just purchased a hardware-software “VedaPulse” kit and makes the first steps in the device’s mastering. Let’s look backward over earlier mistakes.

Almost every new VedaPulse user asks: ‘What does your device exactly define – vikruti or prakruti?’ And when he receives the answer that the purpose of the device is the definition of VIKRUTI, expresses sincere bewilderment: ‘How can the recommendations be made without taking into account the PRAKRUTI?’

Our partner from Brazil – Dr. Mark Sircus has published another great article about practical use of VedaPulse and how its diagnostic capabilities helped him answer some confusing questions.

While developing algorithms for VedaPulse™ computer pulse diagnosis, I was using ideas of a famous Ayurvedic doctor in the West – founder of Ayurvedic Institute and Advisor to National Ayurvedic Medical Association of the USA – Dr. Vasant Lad. And recently I had a chance to meet him in person in his Institute’s headquarters in Albuquerque, NM and to demonstrate my device.

Among the various tasks which can be solved by the digital pulse diagnosis “VedaPulse”, the analysis of 12 main meridians is included.
For understanding the results of their analysis, it’s necessary to be familiar with the basic beliefs adopted in traditional oriental medicine. In this article are set out these basic concepts. But if we usually focus on the Ayurvedic approach, in this case, the issue will be considered from the standpoint of traditional Chinese medicine.

Imbalance of the five elements in the human body can cause different symptoms in accordance with characteristics or attributes inherent in that or other element, which are called Guna Dvanda (duality of attributes). Guna Dvanda was described by the ancient physician Charaka in his text “Charaka Samhita”, where he had allocated 10 pairs of the mentioned attributes by which you can diagnose and treat patients (Frank Ros, 2005).

Dear colleagues, we start a series of articles dedicated to the new module “Nidan”, which extends abilities of the “VedaPulse” in assessing deepest and causal processes of disease development from the perspective of traditional Ayurveda.
