《灵枢邪气脏腑病形第四》
“诸急者多寒。缓者多热。大者多气少血。小者血气皆少。滑者阳气盛,微有热。涩者多血少气,微有寒。”
<Lingshu Chapter 4>
“For all hurried pulses there is much cold; for slow pulses there is much heat; A large pulse means excess qi and deficient blood; a small pulse means blood and qi are both deficient; A slippery pulse means the yang qi is over flowing with slight heat; A rough pulse means much blood and less qi with slight cold.”
“是故刺急者。深内而久留之。
刺缓者。浅内而疾发针。以去其热。
刺大者。微泻其气。无出其血。
刺滑者。疾发针而浅内之。以泻其阳气而去其血。
刺涩者。必中其脉。随其逆顺而久留之。必先按而循之。已发针。疾按其。无令其出血。以和其脉。
诸小者。阴阳形气俱不足。勿取以针。而调以甘药也。“
“Therefore, needle the hurried pulse deep inside and detain for a long time.
Needle the slow pulse shallowly and quickly, withdraw the needle to let out the heat.
To needle the large pulse disperses the qi slightly without bleeding.
To needle the slippery pulse, insert the needle shallowly ad quickly in order to disperse yang qi ad dispel heat.
To needle the rough pulse one must hit the channels, follow the flow or counter flow of qi, and detain for a long time. It is necessary to massage the channels first. When the needle is withdrawn, quickly press the needle holes to prevent bleeding and harmonize the channels.
All small pulses mean that the yin and the yang, the physical form , and the dynamic qi are all deficient. Do not use acupuncture, but harmonize instead by using sweet herbs。“
