is why in the Chinese system circulation is called Triple Heater. What is Triple Heater? Triple Heater is

and kapha with functional integration. When the Chinese

system speaks about Triple Heater, in the Ayurvedic system one can think about triple doshic functional integration which governs circulation and is felt in the deep pulse.

Kapha affects circulation because the pulsations created in the heart are carried to the periphery, to the capillaries, due to the functional integration of tridosha. Kapha doesn’t allow the impulse to die. When kapha is not carrying suffi-cient impulse, the person will have poor circulation in the head. The scalp will be cold, the tip of the nose will be cold, sinuses will be congested and that person will faint.

On the other hand, due to excessive rushing through the cerebral circulation, one can experience vertigo or dizziness and at the same moment can feel much heat in the scalp and the tip of the nose. Whenever we get a feeble pulse of circulation under the ring finger, a kapha spike denotes poor circulation in the head. A feeble pulse with a spike indicates poor circulation in the hands and sweat-ing palms. A weak pulse with a spike shows sluggish circulation in the lower extremities.

Now we will switch our attention to the pulses on the subject’s left side. The index finger at the superficial level corresponds to the small intestine. A spike at the kapha site, the proximal curvature, shows excess mucus in the small intestine, slow intestinal digestion or undigested fat in the small intestine which leads to fatty diarrhea called

rhea. The person with steatorrhea has difficulty digesting fat.

A spike at the central curvature of the index finger shows in the intestines suggesting enteritis, duodenal ulcer, per-i-umbilical burning sensation or sprue syndrome (malabsorption). The person has alternating diarrhea and constipation. Sprue syndrome is called chronic dysentery

A feeble small intestine pulse with a spike at the distal curvature of the finger indicates hyperperistalsis, intestinal partial obstruction or intestinal colic. This condi-tion may lead to a papery thin wall of the small intestine, causing chronic malabsorption syndrome (ghati

The abdomen has a doughy feel indicating intestinal tuberculosis.

The deep pulse at the seventh level under the index fin-ger is the heart. It is composed of the heart muscle and the inner lining called the endocardium.

Organ Pulses

A spike shows a slow heart, heart block, bundle branch block or myocardial hypertrophy with chronic or malignant hypertension called essential hypertension, which is common in older people. A kapha spike is a sign of high cholesterol and high triglycerides.

A strong spike under the index finger denotes carditis, endocarditis or systemic high in the heart. The heart is one of the seats of When

is high, a person becomes judgmental, critical, ambi-tious and competitive. A feeble heart pulse with a spike at doesn’t always mean endocarditis or myocarditis. It may be the of acute hypertension or a stressful condition due to a judgmental, critical, ambitious or com-petitive nature. hypertension is transient. A person becomes upset and, when he or she relaxes, the blood pres-sure becomes normal.

According to Ayurveda, one of the functions of

Too much in the heart may create depression. This type of depression may create thoughts of suicide and is associated with addiction to success or fear of failure.

When loss of control leads to depression, it is fear.

type of heart conditions include tachycardia, flutter with fibrillation, multiple extra systole, hypotension or alternating pulses. If is in the heart, on inhalation the pulse becomes fast and on exhalation the pulse becomes slow. This condition is called sinus arrhythmia. Many times
