Therefore a systemic search for further improvement of this Ancient pulse study began way back in 1990 by gathering the available information right from Sarangadhara Samhita to the latest Japanese Research Paper by Kazuo Kadoma et al (1991), who made rich contributions to the subject. The essence of all these are incorporated in to this monograph, so as to make the Nadi pariksa really relevant and useful to the present day Doctors, Researchers, Scholars and students.
