Acupuncture is an ancient application of ancient Chinese medical science. Many researchers today have proven and supported the therapeutic claims of this very ancient practice. Other practices when in terms of sensory awareness include the Alexander technique, but this very ancient way of dealing with illness, disharmony and bodily disorders remain very popular to this day. Note that acupressure uses the finger (usually the thumb) or the palm of the hand to apply pressure upon certain points of the body, whereas acupuncture is the use of needles to puncture certain points on the body. The procedure is totally safe with the assistance of a competent acupuncturist. Now in order to diagnose, that is assess, a certain client, pulse reading may be done. In fact, it is one of the important parts of medical diagnosis both in Chinese and Western traditions. So a competent acupuncturist would like to find out the depth, severity and organ location of the disorder by reading the pulse of the patient. Within the framework of ancient Chinese science, it is held to be possible that a person's length of time of being sick and his or her time for recovery can be determined. Twelve different pulse positions are usable, but the using the radial artery is probably the most common. Now in contrast to what the modern doctor or physician does, the acupuncturist does not palpate the actual pulse, but instead, he or she palpates for the reflected vibration issued by the pulse. This vibration can be felt along the surrounding body tissue. It is like the ripple effect - you throw a stone or rock on a pond can create ripples from where it is thrown in the water. So the "ripples" are then used as the source of information for the acupuncturist. At first apprentices usually feel nothing, but with time and practice, many have learned to feel the sensation of the ripples. So in taking the pulse of the client, the acupuncturist places his or her fingers on the wrist just a bit above the artery, and then he or she perceives the ripples that are produced. The information obtained tells something about the qi energy or life force. When the pulses are therefore known, they can be "tuned" correctly (like tuning a guitar). The skilled acupuncturist sees what pulses are off key and he or she corrects these pulses, to establish harmony and balance for the whole body.
