Philippe Sionneau a écrit : Ecoute, c’est une approche totalement différente d’aborder la pathologie et l’acupuncture. Au départ, il faut se faire violence pour ne pas se laisser influencer par nos propres habitudes. La grande difficulté est l’évaluation entre le diamètre de cùn kǒu (寸口) et rén yíng (人迎).

Philippe, voici quelques pistes de compréhension d'Edward Neal.

In terms of the interpretation of these pulses, it is a little subjective, to me twice as much is 'somewhat more', four times as much is 'clearly more' and three times as much is in the middle. It is not written in the classics, but my own experience is that these different pulses also have a qualitative difference, two times stronger maintaining a similar quality as the underlying pulse, three times as much having a stronger and 'rounder' quality and four times as much having a harsh and abrupt quality. If the situation is unclear we can augment our diagnosis by assessing specific channel related symptoms. If all else fails and the situation is equivocal you can do a 'trial treatment', testing one meridian and then another.
