Re: [PulseDiagnosis] Re: Was halusinogenic drugs: Now Hesitant Pulse
Hi Will. Looking back thru the discussion, I can see you all are speaking, identifying the specific use of the term, from Mr Hammers view. I'll look and maybe learn a thing or two, and not cloud the water. Thanks.

Hi Mystir -
I think it is important to highlight that the hesitant pulse under discussion is specific to Leon Hammer's nomenclature. It does not correlate with the choppy pulse (se mai) - a word that is translated as hesitant by the New Essentials and the California Acupunctu re Board. I think that you are referring to the choppy pulse (se mai), but I am not certain. Can you affirm that?
That might be closer. As I see it, and learned it, its not an uncommon term,.. the hesitance is when feeling the rythym, the breakover wave is late and strong, hesitant, not lacking power, but held back.Differenty in the wiry pulse, as the wiry pulse isn't late, and its trail edge is sharp too. It can be in many positions, rarely kidney.
Like this, the beginning of the wave holds back, then quickly pulses, because there is energy, but it is restrained emotionally (best), or physically (hidden organ failure). How to tell the difference is the art. But you guys are the geniuses, I'm just adding a couple words.

Lon Yes. Hesitant wave can accompany any other pulse qualities, not necessarily Tight. Tight on Uniform Impressions would suggest systemic yin defic, while the...
