The ancient art and science of Nadi Pariksha is used to determine a person's current state of mind, body, soul and spirit. It is employed as a diagnostic and prognostic technique to ascertain the Prakriti (body constitution), Vikriti, the status of each organ's Dosha and the impact on the Dhatus, Manas and Sukshma Sharir. It is a science that is non-invasive and aids in identifying the actual cause of a disease, not just its symptoms. There aren't many ancient works that are entirely devoted to the aforementioned subject. Ancient Ayurvedic texts such as Bhavprakash, Sharangdhar Samhita, Yogratnakara, Nadi Pariksha by Ravansamhita and Nadivigyan by Kanad all mention the concept of Nadi Pariksha. The Sharangdhar Samhita texts, which first introduced pulse diagnosis in the 13th century, highlighted the relationship between Nadi and Tridosha. Later, in the 16th century, it was mentioned once more in Shri Bhav Mishrji's writing for "Bhavprakash." However, Yogratnakara's 48 shlokas, which describe the science of Nadi, gave Nadi Pariksha its relevance in the 17th century. According to Yogratnakara, the Nadi Pariksha (Pulse Examination) tests reveal numerous ailments. There is no separate mention of Nadi in the Charaka and Sushruta Samhita. Nadi Parikshan demands a specialist with years of knowledge and the ability to read pulses in order to diagnose any condition. It is necessary to re-establish their results so that they can be used in the future because they were once widely used diagnostic tools but are not now being used in that way. Even with the use of advanced diagnostic tests, a number of issues can go untreated.
