Ayurvedic scheme

12 vital organs are located in accordance with the points to determine the pulse of the organs on the hands, observing the deep and superficial pulse.
In different schools of traditional medicine there are different arrangements of points to determine the pulse of the bodies. The program uses the scheme of Dr. Vasant Lad, the author of "Diagnosis by the pulse."

On both diagrams (Chinese and Ayurvedic): red stands stress syndrome (completeness), and yellow – the energy depletion syndrome (void); orange – light tension, yellow-green – slight depletion; green indicates the area of standards.

Pay attention! “Organ pulse/Chinese scheme” module was updated recently.

1. Now the distribution of energy through meridians is shown as a flexible line;
2. Text description of every channel was added;
3. The energy of meridians is shown in two graphs: of relative and absolute values of energy;
4. Paid subscription to the module was introduced.

Organ pulse/Chinese scheme
Detailed explanation of all changes and benefits of the new interface is presented in the article Update of “Organ pulse/Chinese scheme” module.

Atlas

This tab duplicates the information displayed on the chart "Meridians", but it is presented not as graphs, but as a scheme of arrangement of organs and systems in the human body. This diagram shows the current disorders in the mechanisms of regulation in a particular system or a particular organ. Around organs there is a pulsing glow that shows the state of energy in the body. Yellow marks the lack of energy (risk zone), red — excess (tension), and green marks the normal level of energy. The zone of slight exhaustion and tension, used in the "Meridians", are summarized in the standards in the "Atlas" tab. The Atlas is useful for demonstration to patients their functional status, and for professionals it is recommended to work with the tab "Meridians".

Nidana

The Nidana is designed for experts in Ayurveda. the
Nidana (SKT. Nidānam) – in a broad sense, the root cause of something; in Ayurveda-sastra – the cause of the disease, or the doctrine of causation (etiology).
Nidana contains three tabs: Subdosha, Dhatu, Pancha-Maha-Bhuta.

Subdosha

Subdosha — the analysis of the subtle components of Dosha (5 types of Prana, 5 types of Fire, 5 types of Mucus).

Subdoshas are represented by the bar chart, as well as by a sector diagram, representing Subdosha projection on the corresponding fingers during palpation.

When clicking on the bar / sector in the right part of the screen you'd get a detailed textual description for each regulation system or Subdosha.

The detailed description is provided for each Subdosha within the following parameters:
Name, etymology, general description
Properties (or Gunas)
Localization – the area of origination and concentration of Subdosha in the body, its pathways of spreading
Modern view – what biophysical mechanisms and physiological processes stand for each Subdosha.
Physiological equivalent – is a complete analysis from the perspectives of clinical medicine, Ayurveda and TCM physiology, features of metabolism and common symptoms typical for the imbalance of each Subdosha.

Dhatu (tissue)

Dhatu – energy-metabolic state of the tissues and the srotas (channels of tissues' nutrition).
For more details, read the article:

• Dhatu (tissues) – Ayurvedic histology

Pancha-Maha-Bhuta (basic elements)

Pancha-Maha-Bhuta – assessment of the status of the elements (ether, air, fire, water, earth) and their relationship (the wheel support and destruction) as an equivalent of regulation mechanisms.
For more details, read the article:

• Pancha-Maha-Bhuta (The theory of the five elements: ether, air, fire, water, earth)

Bioenergy

Bioenergy designed for a wide range of experts using Eastern practices. Includes two tabs: Chakras, Bioenergy field.

Chakras

The schematic figure of a yogi shows the seven chakras:
Muladhara, Svadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, Sahasrara.
The energy of the chakras is represented by a diameter of the circle of chakra in the body of a yogi and presented in the table on the right on the screen.
0-1,5 points — the lack of energy
1,5–5 points — norm
5-10 points — tension

Energy field

The program draws the field structure around a full-length figure of a man in schematic form. The size of this field shows resources of adaptation. Failures in the configuration of the field illustrate the lack of functional resources in one of the systems of the body. For clarity, they are highlighted in yellow.
Green represents areas associated with the functional state of organs with sufficient resources.
Accordingly, the parts of the field, beyond the boundaries of the norm, denote the systems of the body with a highly mobilized resources. They are highlighted in red. When you put the cursor to any area of the field, a window with the name of the functional systems of the body pops up.
Additionally the power of the energy field in general and the share of each of the systems are calculated.
Power of energy field is greater than 100% indicates increased resources of adaptation.

This tab allows to assess the overall condition of resources of the adaptation, and its local distribution between systems of the body. With this tab, it is convenient to study the dynamics of the functional state of the organism after any impact. Also, it is possible to see the whole process of body recovery, if one conducts regular assessments during rehabilitation, and then sequentially scrolls through all these tests.

Music of the heart

Designed to transform the recording of the heart rhythm in a piece of music that you can listen, save as an audio file or in the form of notes. One can use musical analysis here: to determine the percentage of consonant and dissonant harmonies, and a ratio of major and minor tonalities in the melody of the heart.

The fact that the laws of musical harmony and the laws of human health are United, has been known since ancient times (the Gandharva Vidya in Ayurveda, the doctrine of the Harmony of the spheres of Pythagoras and Aristotle in antiquity). This idea dates back to global philosophical principle — to the idea of the unity of the laws of the universe. So, the application of mathematical laws of musical harmony to assess heart rhythm looks quite naturally.

Dynamics

The module «Dynamics» has two modes and allows to track the changes of the parameters in time:

• changes in all the diagnostic parameters from one test to another;
• dynamic changes of four parameters during the test.

Online Dynamics

At the stage of recording ECG in the monitoring window (ECG) switch from the tab «Signal» to the tab «Indices» (1). Online Dynamics assesses the changes in the Total Power parameter, stress index, LF and HF in the form of graphs and bars. You can scale the axes of the graph «TP and stress index» by pressing the buttons «+» and «-» (2, 3).

Offline Dynamics

Open the patient's card. Choose the examination tab. Choose section “Results of the test” (1). Click on the «Dynamics» tab (2).

“Dynamics” tab includes 4 methods of correlation of different representations of the tests.

• linear graphs;
• bar charts;
• tables;
• user profiles.

Before analyzing the dynamics of the test, in the list of tests choose those recordings which are be presented in the graphs.

To carry out the analysis of tests' dynamics, choose the recordings which will be presented in graphs from the list of recordings.

The graphs are generated basing on two or more tests.

From the lists (1) and (2) choose parameters needed to generate the graphs. Graphs are generated automatically. You can use the button "Select all tests" (3). Save the graphs using the button "Save the report" (4).

In case the parameter’s name is not fully visible, hover it and the full name of the parameter will appear.

You can zoom any area of the graph by the selection click from left to right (see 1 in the image below).

A reverse selection (from right to left) (2) will bring all the graphs back to the full size. You can also use the option of shifting along the graph: hold the right mouse button at any spot in the graph and shift the image.

Besides, to be more convenient for reading the graphs the “Dynamics” tab includes two options: transmission of the scale of the graph to another axis and changing of the color of the graph. To use this option, choose the parameter by clicking on it with the left mouse button. Then click on it again but with the right mouse button.

The «Bar charts» tab allows to compare tests based on the parameters from the modules.

Select a group of the needed parameters (1). Then click on the bar (2) to know the quantity, the date and when it was registered.

If graphs allow you to compare the indices only visually, the table enables us to compare them numerically. Color spectrum from the "Index" tab remains the same on the background of the corresponding cell.

You can export the data into Excel table using the corresponding button in the "Tables" tab.

The "User profiles" tab allows You to create specific tables – profiles – to add different parameters to the existing indicators of “VedaPulse”.

The following options are available for the profiles: download the profile that is already formed (1), create a new profile (2), save the generated profile (3), naming / renaming the profile (4). To create a new profile select the records in the list of the tests which are to be included in the graphics. Then click "Create a profile".

After that a table with the tests will appear. (1). Fill in the field «Profile’s name» (2). Click twice on the blue cell of the header of the table. Type your parameter. (3).

Then a creation of the additional column on the right will follow. Here you can type the next parameter. Fill the table and click “Save the profile”.

Go to the "Graphs" tab. At the bottom of the list of the parameters the newly created profile will appear. Opening it, You will see the parameters with the numbers set in the columns. The graphs will be arranged in accordance with the numbers.

If you need to add more tests, remember that it will take insertion of the numerical data into a new line in the "User profiles" tab. Graphs are built only for a fully filled parameters’ setting.

The "Save the report" option in any of the tabs - "Graphs", "Bar charts", "Tables" - allows us to save all of the graphic data of all these sections in the Word file (rtf).

After pressing the button "Save the report" there appears a window containing all of the given graphs. There is a standard set of options for the text files in the window:

• save charts to the rtf-file (Word);
• copy the selected fragment to the clipboard;
• paste from the clipboard;
• print.

VedaGenetics

The module “VedaGenetics” allows specialists of traditional medicine to select genes for a bench testing, based on the analysis of doshas, subdoshas, state of dhatu (tissues) and channel energy (the module “Organs’ pulse”).

The module “VedaGenetics” is oriented to specialists of traditional medicine, practitioners of Ayurveda, TCM, herbal therapy, dietology, naturopathy and other traditional approaches of healing who wish to expand their diagnostic capabilities using modern methods.

The program generates the list of genes automatically and it is based on the fact that it is more likely that person of this constitution type has a high possibility of polymorphism (changes) in these genes.

You should press on a gene from the list to see its description. You can form the list of genes, ticking their names. Based on the list you can “Request a consultation” or “Order genetic test” accordingly.

Tongue diagnosis

To start working with the module you need to get a new assessment done. Once the recording is completed, open the assessment card (Results - Tongue diagnosis). The module "Tongue diagnosis" consists of 2 tabs - Upload and Analysis.

Upload tab is designed for photo-registering of the patient's tongue and defining the borders of the tongue for the analysis. In the tab you can chose and click "Select image" to open the window suggesting different ways for uploading the photo: you can upload the photo right from your computer - "Upload from file"

Or you can take a snapshot from a webcam on your laptop or the outside USB webcam. Select "Webcam" and you'd see "Take photo" window open, where you can chose camera (out of the available ones), resolution (it is recommended to use the highes resolution possible), or fix the camera settings. To take a picture of the tongue click "Take a snapshot".

You can also upload the photo from your smartphone.

Click "Upload from smartphone" and the program would start serching the photo for uploading.

After you get the photo uploaded you need to define the borders of the tongue in the image for the analysis by outlining the tongue rims with the dashed border lines . Use the green regulation dot (to define the side and the upper borders), the pink regulation dot (for lower borders) and the purple dot (to define the width of the tongue tip), fixate the dashed border line on the rims of the tongue. If needed, click Rotate (each click rotates the image by 90 degrees).

Analysis - an automized algorithm developed for analysing the pathological stigmas of the body projected in the different zones of the tongue. The algorithm automatically puts the projections of body functional systems onto the tongue image. After that the specialist carries out the analysys of the pathological stigmas projected in the different zones of the tongue.

The program highlights in red and yellow the zones, that the specialist should pay the utmost attention to, taking into account the data on the current functional state of the body, provided by the ECG-recording (the specialist can choose different levels for the assessment - Organ pulses, Doshas, Subdoshas).

In the text field the specialist describes the patient's condition based on visual analysis, puts his reports and recommendations.

Note: Once uploaded, the photo will be deleted from the server and stored only on your computer.

After uploading a photo of the left and right eyes, manually adjust the position of the labels to highlight the pupil and iris. Use green dots to highlight the iris and blue dots to highlight the pupil. If necessary, use the icons to rotate the image (each click rotates the image by 90 degrees).

Note: You can take photos of the iris with a smartphone camera if it has a macro mode. It is also recommended to use special iridoscopic cameras or macro attachments on the smartphone camera. Diagnostic capabilities depend heavily on the quality of the image. Use high-sensitivity cameras with good resolution and high-quality optics.

The Analysis sub-tab displays an image of the iris with an interactive map of the projection zones applied to it, a general assessment block and a report.

The image of the iris of the eye (right or left, depending on the L/R switch) has a map of projection zones: according to E.S. Velhover and according to B. Jensen. To select a map, go to Options – Settings – Module settings – The Iridodiagnostic software module in the main menu of the program.

The program highlights the areas on the iris that you need to pay attention to, based on the analysis of the heart rate. You can disable zone highlighting by unchecking the Highlight areas check box in the lower left corner.

When clicking on the projection area, a menu is displayed – a list of possible morphological changes in the iris (lacunae of various types, vessels, rays, rings, etc., with pop-up tips). When selecting any item, a description of a possible pathological condition will be added to the report.

Two sub-tabs are displayed on the right: General assessment and Report

The General assessment sub-tab contains a questionnaire that allows to select the type, density of the iris, shape of the autonomous ring, surface condition, pupil size, presence of heterochromia, type of pupil border, as well as the presence of iridological signs that are characteristic of the iris as a whole and reflect the general human condition: toxic spots, toxic radiance, lipid-sodium ring, lymphatic rosary, dystrophic rim, white radiance, adaptive rings, acidosis. By selecting an item in the questionnaire (it is not necessary to select all items), a description of a possible pathological condition is added to the report.

Hovering over any of the items will display tips that briefly describe the artefacts, and more detailed tips are descriptions of the selected states/forms in drop-down lists.

The Report sub-tab will display descriptions of the pupil defects noted by a specialist from the point of view of iridodiagnostic.

Statistics

Automatically puts all of the data from the HRV, Spectrum, Histogram tabs into one document that can be saved in RTF format.

Recommendations

Recommendations contains tabs: Lifestyle, Herbal Encyclopedia, Aroma Encyclopedia, Supplements Encyclopedia, Diet, Yoga, Acupuncture, Massage, Biorhythms, Auriсulotherapy, EHF, Quantum Therapy, Report. The General rule for all tabs in the Recommendations is that the recommendations are generated according to the constitution (VATA, PITTA, KAPHA), which is calculated on the basis of the assessment results. Therefore it is very important to use a properly conducted assessment, which reflects not the immediate reaction to any short-term factors, but long-term functional status. In more detail the question of the constitution was considered in the article:

• Vikruti vs. Prakruti or the emperor wears no clothes!

Lifestyle

The module presents recommendations on lifestyle, taking into account constitution of the patient. It describes each of the 10 basic constitution types, including 3 monotypes (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), 6 dual types (Vata-Pitta, Vata-Kapha, Pitta-Vata, Pitta-Kapha, Kapha-Vata, Kapha-Pitta), and the 10th – balanced Tridosha type. In case of uncertainty of dual type probability, it is possible to choose lifestyle for each type. If you see several constitution types suggested by the “Heuristic analysis of the Doshas balance probability” as having the certain probability in the Balance tab, the specialist has an option of choosing constitution in the lower part of the window – “Constitutional type probability”.

Rating Tab

This section of the module allows you to create a personified phytotherapeutic recipe based on different nosological factors and the choice of medicine: Western, Chinese or Ayurvedic.

All plants get divided into three lists: Green, Yellow and Red.

• The green list - includes plants that are the most effective taking into account the constitution type of the patient.
• The yellow list - consists of plants that have a partial constitutional compliance and may be used for the patient.
• The red list - represents plants that are contraindicated for the patient as they can worsen his condition.

All the plants are divided into four categories: Tridosha plants, Constitutionally suitable plants, Partially suitable, Constitutionally inappropriate plants. For each category there is a conditional color designation displayed in the legend below the list. Regardless of the category, the plants can fall into any of the lists (green, yellow or red).

Nosological system filter contains more than 250 pathological conditions – one has an option to choose up to 2 diseases at once - for example, hypertension and diabetes.

There is also an option of additional filtering of the list – it is possible to display plants used in a particular medicine or more than one medicine at the same time (the list will include plants used in both schools).

Having chosen a plant from the main list one would see the following information in the “Methods of application” window – Botanic name, Latin name (also Sanskrit and Chinese name depending on the chosen filter), traditional and classical methods of application (decoction, infusion, etc.).

When marked with a tick in the list the plant is placed in a separate window “Herbal composition” where you form a list of plants for the patient (from any of the lists).

The Dosha Balance graph reflects the power of influence of the herbal composition on individual Dosha in the form of the arrows - power of influence.

The arrows pointing upwards indicate an increasing action, downwards – a decreasing one. There can be from one to three arrows or there can be none of them:

• 3 arrows – potent herbal composition
• 2 arrows – moderately acting
• 1 arrow – weak
• No arrow – neutral effect

On the index scale of the Composition value, the total utility of the herbal composition is displayed in the range from -10 to 10:

• From 5 to 10 – Herbal Composition with a pronounced positive effect. It has a balancing and harmonizing effect. As well as pronounced therapeutic effect.
• From 3 to 5 – Herbal Composition with a positive effect. It has a balancing effect on the Doshas.
• From 1 to 3 – Herbal Composition with a weak positive effect. It does not have any pronounced therapeutic effect. Effective only for cosmetic purposes.
• From -1 to до -1 – Neutral effect of Herbal Composition
• From -1 to -3 – Herbal Composition with a weak negative effect
• From -3 to -5 – Herbal Composition with a negative effect. It has a negative effect on the psychophysiological processes and the Dosha balance. It is not recommended for use.
• From -5 to -10 – Herbal Composition with a pronounced negative effect.It has a significant unbalancing effect even with short-term use. It is highly not recommended for use. Even with short-term use, it can lead to serious side effects.

The variants of the influence of the herbal composition are described in text format taking into account the current person's constitution and reflect possible effects on the body. Should be clarified that it is necessary to consider individual characteristics of a person, their diseases and sensitivity to the ingredients of herbal.

In the window “Method of herbal composition’s application” the expert adds his own recommendations for use and preparation of the plants, including by copying or dragging the information from the “Methods of application” window.

It is possible to add a new plant which is not included into encyclopedia by clicking “+” icon and filling the necessary graphs. Later on you will be able to use saved plants in other recipes by clicking “+” icon and adding the plant from the formed list. You can also edit or delete saved plants.

Saving of the report

Report of the Herbal Encyclopedia expert extension includes the following:

Aroma Encyclopedia

The Aroma Encyclopedia software module allows you to solve the following tasks:

• Compilation of customized aroma compositions;
• Formation of the list of essential oils constitutionally suitable for a particular patient, ranking of essential oils taking into account the current functional state, calculation of the power of influence of each oil on a particular patient;
• Assessment of the effect of the aroma composition on the general condition of a patient with a graphic visualization of the power of influence, a value index and a text description;
• Search for oils by the specified parameters: botanical name, Latin name, foreign names, Sanskrit. Search by description of aroma, method of production, chemical composition, as well as search by medicinal properties, impact on the psycho-emotional state, application in cosmetology, search for the compatibility of aromas;
• Description of the preparation and application methods of essential oils;
• The possibility of choosing essential oils taking into account the nosological filter for specific diseases;
• The possibility to filter the list of oils by aroma notes: base, heart, top;
• The possibility to filter the list of oils by medicinal properties;
• Automatic report creation with a completed aroma composition.

To get started, go to the Recommendations tab - Aroma Encyclopedia. The module consists of the Rating and Encyclopedia tabs.

Rating tab

The Rating tab allows you to create a customized aroma composition taking into account various nosologies.

All oils are conditionally divided into three sub-tabs of different colors, the so-called aroma traffic light: Green, Yellow, Red.

• The oils that are most effective for a particular patient, taking into account their constitutional features, fall under the sub-tab marked with a green icon.
• The oils that can be used for the patient, but it is recommended to use them together with the oils from the green sub-tab fall under the sub–tab marked with a yellow icon.
• The oils that are not recommended for this patient, which may worsen their condition fall under the sub–tab marked with a red icon.

Each oil has its own rating — a digital value on the right side. This is the potential effect of the oil on a particular patient. The higher the rating, the greater the value of the essential oil in terms of restoring human health.

Also, each oil has its own cutline. The cutline is a color representation of each essential oil, which reflects its effect on a patient, taking into account their constitutional profile:

• Tridosha

Oils with a harmonious and balanced effect (the so-called Tridosha oils or oils with a harmonious Yin-Yang balance), that are acting favorably on all regulatory systems (Dosha) positively. Generally, they have a very strong effect on the body.

• Constitutionally suitable

Constitutionally balanced oils are the ideal oils for the patient (taking into account their constitution). The list is formed individually for each patient after the VedaPulse assessment.

• Partly suitable

Partly constitutionally suitable – some properties of oils may enhance constitutionally related tendencies to the course of diseases, but collectively these properties of oils, when used in combination with other oils, will have a beneficial effect on the patient. The list is formed individually for each patient after the VedaPulse assessment.

• Constitutionally incompatible

They will increase the Dosha imbalance in a particular patient if used. The list is formed individually for each patient after the VedaPulse assessment.

For each category there is a conditional color description displayed in the cutline below the list. Regardless of the category, oils can fall into any of the lists (green, yellow, red).

The nosological system filter contains more than 250 pathological conditions. Filtration of oils according to the nosological principle allows a specialist to take into account both the constitutional and the properties of oils for the pathogenetic therapy of diseases. This provides a more optimal approach to the configuration of the aroma composition, taking into account the existing chronic pathology of a patient.

There is a possibility to choose two diseases at the same time – for example, hypertension and diabetes mellitus.

The program allows you to filter the essential oils depending on the aroma notes: base, heart and top.

When you click on the oil from the main list, the following information will be displayed in the Aroma oil application methods block: botanical name, Latin name, traditional and classical methods of application.

When the oil is ticked in the list, it is placed in a separate Aroma Composition block, where the specialist forms a list of oils for a patient (from any of the lists).

In the Method of application block, the specialist can add their own recommendations on the methods of application of oils and aroma compositions, or copy the method of application of one of the aroma oils, which will be common to all selected oils, and adjust it.

The Dosha Balance graph reflects the power of influence of the aroma composition on individual Dosha in the form of the arrows - power of influence.

The arrows pointing upwards indicate an increasing action, downwards – a decreasing one. There can be from one to three arrows or there can be none of them:

• 3 arrows – potent aroma composition
• 2 arrows – moderately acting
• 1 arrow – weak
• No arrow – neutral effect

On the index scale of the Composition value, the total utility of the aroma composition is displayed in the range from -10 to 10:

• From 5 to 10 – Aroma Composition with a pronounced positive effect
• From 3 to 5 – Aroma Composition with a positive effect
• From 1 to 3 – Aroma Composition with a weak positive effect
• From -1 to до -1 – Neutral effect of Aroma Composition
• From -1 to -3 – Aroma Composition with a weak negative effect
• From -3 to -5 – Aroma Composition with a negative effect
• From -5 to -10 – Aroma Composition with a pronounced negative effect

The variants of the influence of the aroma composition are described in text format taking into account the current person's constitution and reflect possible effects on the body. Should be clarified that it is necessary to consider individual characteristics of a person, their diseases and sensitivity to the ingredients of essential oils.

A generated composition can be saved by clicking on the Save aroma Composition button. It can be used later for another assessment using the Upload Aroma Composition button.

The Save report button allows you to save the generated aroma composition and information about its influence on a person's constitution to a separate file.

Encyclopedia Tab

The Encyclopedia tab consists of two sub-tabs: Description and Clinical aroma therapy. It contains a multiparametric search and a filtering system based on the medicinal properties of essential oils.

For more convenience of working with the Herbal Encyclopedia and Aroma Encyclopedia modules, the function of Automatic search when entering has been added. The function allows you to see all possible options that meet the search criteria when searching after clicking on the Search button or immediately while typing (relevant for slow computers).

The Description sub-tab is devoted to the description of essential oils and includes: the name of the oil, the Latin name, the foreign name, as well as the ability to search for the plant according to the above items, the description of aroma, method of production and chemical composition.

The section contains: an illustration, a description of aroma, information about the methods of production essential oil, as well as parts of plants used to produce oils, the substances that make up the essential oil are indicated.

In this section you can search by two filters: Search by name (botanical, Latin, common and foreign names) and Search by description of aroma, method of production and chemical composition.

The Clinical aroma therapy sub-tab is devoted to the description of the application of essential oils in clinical aroma therapy.

There are two filters in this sub–tab: a search by medicinal properties, and a separate filter - a search by the impact on psycho-emotional state, application in cosmetology, compatibility of aromas. The main feature of this sub–tab is the ability to search for essential oil by its medicinal properties. The list contains more than 60 classic properties of essential oils (hepatoprotection, aphrodisiac, adaptogen, etc.).

Supplements Encyclopedia

Supplements Encyclopedia provides an extended description of each supplement, including methods of application and contraindications.

All the supplements get sorted into three lists according to suitability for the patient:
• The green list – an ideal suitability — supplements fully compensating the imbalance of Doshas present in the patient.
• The yellow list – optimal suitability — supplements appropriate for the dominating Dosha only, without taking into account duality of the constitution.
• The red list – contraindicated supplements — usage of these supplements would only worsen the imbalance of Doshas.

Each supplement is rated in the list by certain number in CU. The higher the rating number of the supplement the more influence it has in terms of restoration of the balance.

There is a system-nosological filter provided in the module that allows to choose up to 2 nosological groups of disorders at once (press “+” to add another group). Once nosological groups are chosen all the suitable supplements in the list get highlighted in bold type.

When clicking the name of the supplement in the list, you would see its description displayed in the field on the right.

You can create a list of drugs you choose by ticking their names in the list, thus adding the drugs to the "Description and recommendations" field.

Thermal therapy

Software module ‘Thermal therapy’ is designed to provide individual recommendations on the optimal temperature and humidity mode (comfort zone) and the mode of steaming in a steaming room, based on the current psychophysiological state of a person and his constitutional features.

You can find the module in the ‘Recommendations’ tab in the main menu. The module contains two sections:
- ‘Temperature and humidity mode’
- ‘Steaming mode’

‘Temperature and humidity mode’

For choosing the optimal temperature and humidity mode, or ‘comfort zone’, there are 9 modes presented in the two-axis plane (X – temperature axis, Y- relative humidity axis) - each mode represents different combinations of humidity and temperature as well as a ‘Balanced’ mode with the sum of humidity and temperature close to 120.

Each mode has its own name, reflecting the nature of the environment you get with the mode.

The ranges of 9 modes are defined as follows:
Russian stove (30-50 °C, 20-40%)
Desert (50-70 °C, 20-40%)
Sauna (70-90 °C and higher, 20-40%)
Subtropics (30-50 °C, 40-70%)
Russian sauna (50-70 °C, 40-70%)
Extreme (70-90 °C and higher, 40-70%)
Hammam (30-50 °C, 70-90%)
Tropics (50-70 °C, 70-90%)
Superextreme (70-90 °C and higher 70-90%).

When hovering the cursor over any mode, the section would get selected and a help-window would appear, containing the characteristics and a brief description of the selected type of a steaming room or a mode.

In accordance with the type of constitution of a person identified by pulse diagnosis, one or more optimal ranges of humidity and temperature would get selected with the boundaries highlighted by points.

Thus, the selected temperature and humidity mode helps to eliminate the imbalances detected during the pulse diagnosis in the best way, as well as being the most comfortable for the patient. At the same time, you get recommendations on the duration of the exposure to different temperature and humidity modes.

‘Steaming mode’

For choosing the optimal steaming mode, there are 5 zones allocated in a two-axis plane (X axis – tension of the regulation systems, Y axis - level of vital energy) represented by different combinations of regulation systems indicators and the level of vital energy. The point corresponding to the patient’s condition (highlighted in a circle) falls into one of these zones.

Each zone corresponds to a certain steaming mode with the name, reflecting the nature of the steaming chosen:
- ‘Intensive steaming’
- ‘Active steaming’
- ‘Classic steaming’
- ‘Energy balancing steaming’
- 'Energy restoring steaming’

When hovering the cursor over any mode, a help-window would appear, containing the characteristics and a brief description of the steaming mode.

The recommendations offer a variety of brooming techniques, including simple movements, impact techniques, vortex movements, contact, non-contact, massaging and other complex movements, as well as their frequency, amplitude and the force of impact. In addition, recommendations on the choice of contrast procedures are given.
