Imagine this: an MBBS, MD doctor, someone who usually helps others feel better, comes in for a check-up himself. This wasn’t just any check-up, though. We practice the ancient method of determining what’s going on in your body by feeling your pulse.
This doctor was in his late 20s, and honestly, he looked a bit heavy for his age. But it wasn’t just his weight that seemed off. When we felt his pulse, it told us a surprising story.
More Than Just a Pulse
His pulse wasn’t just about his heart beating. It revealed that he was pretty unhappy, and his mind was filled with negative thoughts. Like, seriously crowded with them. He secretly wished for attention, appreciation, and to feel like he was doing a good job. Who doesn’t want that, right? But for him, it was a big deal.
He’d wake up feeling totally drained, sleepy, and just plain tired. All. The. Time. And deep down, he harboured several fears: fear of making mistakes, fear of losing, and fear of doing anything wrong.
His pulse also showed that things weren’t flowing smoothly inside him. Think of it like a clogged pipe. This led to a bunch of physical problems:
- Digestion issues: His stomach wasn’t working right, and
- Shallow breathing: He wasn’t taking full, deep breaths.
- Fatty liver: His liver wasn’t in great shape.
- Kidney problems: His kidneys weren’t filtering properly.
- Varicose veins: Those bulging veins you sometimes see.
The “Aha!” Moment
When we told him everything we’d found just by feeling his pulse, he was like, “Wow, you totally got it.” He agreed with everything. Then, almost as an afterthought, he mentioned his super itchy scalp. We already knew that was connected, even though we hadn’t said it. It just showed how everything in our body is linked!
Why Your Feelings Matter for Your Health
This entire experience was a powerful reminder of something significant: our emotions can have a profound impact on our health. We often think of illnesses as purely physical, but this doctor’s story shows that when you’re stressed, worried, or simply unhappy, it can significantly impact your body.
Nadi Pariksha is beneficial because it doesn’t just focus on what’s wrong on the outside. It looks inside to see how your emotions and energy are flowing (or not flowing!). It helps us determine the underlying cause of someone’s illness, rather than just treating the symptoms.
He is following the diet and taking medicines. We will surely let you know when he comes in for a review after six weeks.
So, next time you’re feeling down or stressed, remember that your emotions aren’t just in your head – they can affect your whole body. It’s a powerful connection!
