Usage of three fingers in examining the pulse

It is been discussed earlier also that mind is very notorious and easily fitters here and there and easily changes in fraction of seconds. It is also the fact that mind can pay attention to one subject at one time. Mind plays a very important role in pulse investigation as we have to control its notoriousness. This nature of mind causes great difficulty in assessing the three dosha i.e. vata, pitta and kapha with one finger. It has been observed that it becomes much easier to evaluate a pulse of a person with three fingers than by one. It has been now converted into a rule that vata is established by the tip of the index finger of right-hand, placed on the radial artery next to the root of the thumb of the right hand of the patient and that pitta pulse should be studied by the touch of the tip of middle finger placed next to it and that the kapha pulse by touch of the tip of the ring finger placed to the middle finger on the artery.
