I think we call a cold pulse "tight" and a heat pulse "rapid" and a normal pulse "moderate"
Hope that helps!

when taking pulses you can assess the thermal nature of the qualities present
cold- manifests with a side to side vibratory quality
heat- will manifest by the wave consistently hitting at the same spot when felt.
my understanding is that these conditions are more clinically important in exterior invasions and most often felt in the right distal position.
my questions are:
will the pulse quality always either be hot or cold, do in between states exist? does this establish a thermal continium?
is there a normal, healthy thermal condition of the pulse?
is there a traditional descriptive term for a cold pulse? and the heat pulse?
