Pulse Diagnosis (Nabz) is one of the most refined diagnostic arts in holistic and Unani medicine. Practiced for over 2,000 years by legendary physicians like Ibn Sina (Avicenna), pulse reading goes far beyond counting heartbeats—it provides a non-invasive window into the internal state of your vital organs, temperamental balance (Mizaj), and overall health.

A Legacy of Clinical Mastery

The skill of accurate pulse reading cannot be learned solely from textbooks; it requires decades of hands-on clinical observation, guidance, and sensitivity. Dr. Muqeem Khan mastered this delicate art under the direct mentorship of his father, Hakeem Mursaleen, combining generations of family knowledge with comparative insights from ancient healing traditions.

How Pulse Reading Works

In Unani medicine, the arterial pulse carries distinct physiological waves shaped by the heart, liver, brain, and digestive system. By placing three fingers on the radial artery at the wrist, a qualified Tabib evaluates multiple subtle parameters:

• Rate & Rhythm (Gati & Harakat): Assessing the speed and flow of vital energy.
• Volume & Expansion: Evaluating blood, fluid balance, and metabolic heat.
• Consistency & Tension: Identifying tissue dryness, moisture, inflammation, or organ stress.

Through Mushaahida (observation), Tajarubaat (clinical experience), and Qayaas (diagnostic synthesis), the practitioner identifies underlying root causes rather than merely addressing surface symptoms.
