Time required for pulse examination

The minimum time mentioned for pulse examination is said to be 30 beats. A beginner who is learning and observing this sign must take his full time in observing the pulse before speaking any thing in front of the patient. In contrast to it a well practiced ayurvedic practitioner may take a very short time in coming and reaching to the diagnosis. In this manner 3 counts have to be taken, leaving the hand completely at ease before a second examination is under taken. The time taken for testing the pulse can not be restricted in a rule as it depends upon many conditions like tact and skill of the physician
