I would like to investigate the relationship between pain and Naadi (a significant parameter used to diagnose diseases in Indian medicinal procedures in Sidha, Ayurvedha and Naturopathy). Does anyone have any information on it?
I heard that, this type of investigation was mostly done by TRADITIONAL HEALERS. ,mostly they are following in Kerala areas. Traditional healers are called Vaithyars. . But Surely possible by a diagnostic tool NAADI.
Merish, Thanks for the information. But, we are trying to approach this issue engineeringly to develop an instrument. Have you ever come accross such a type?
Certainly few scientists are working on this principle and they have got some success also .Main issues are of Reproducibility and reliability.
Pls check the published works of Dr.Anirudha Joshi as well as Mr. Bharat S. Shete on Pulse diagnosis.
As per principles of Ayurveda Vata Nadi should be predominant in conditions of pain.You may get some relation between intensity of pain and pressure in Vatnadi.Understanding Nadi actually comes by experience and its not just pressure in Nadi which is felt but its movement,Rythm and relation to other nadis .Hence i will advice to first understand the entire concept of how Nadi is examined .Ideally involve some Nadi expert in your work.Look at concept of reading Nadi in its totality.Isolated approach towards Nadi may may be incomplete and can lead to failure.
Its really good work,But difficult to accomplish.
If possible contact SVYASA university in Bangalore .They are also working on this concept.
