Preamble of the invention: - The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
Technical field of the invention: - This invention relates to DIAGNOSIS PROCESS OF AYURVEDIA NADIPARIKSHAN THROUGH NADIGRAPH
(ENG)
Background of the invention:-
Ayurveda or Ayurvedic medicine is a system of traditional medicine native to the
Indian subcontinent and a form of alternative medicine.
Ayurveda is a discipline of the upaveda or "auxiliary knowledge". It is treated as a
supplement or appendix of the Vedas themselves, usually either the Rigveda or the
Atharvaveda. The samhita of the Atharvaveda itself contains 114 hymns or
incantations for the magical cure of diseases. Scholars have traced the origins of
Ayurveda back to 5,000 BCE, originating as an oral tradition. Later, as medical
texts, Ayurveda evolved from the Vedas. There are various legendary accounts of
the "origin of ayurveda.
The oldest known ayurvedic texts are the Susrutha Samhita & Charaka Samhita.
These Classical Sanskrit texts are among the foundational and formally compiled
works of ayurveda.
By the medieval period, ayurvedic practitioners developed a number of medicinal
preparations and surgical procedures for the treatment of various ailments.
Practices that are derived from Ayurvedic medicine are regarded as part of
complementary and alternative medicine.
In classical Sanskrit literature, Ayurveda was called "the science of eight
components", a classification that became canonical for ayurveda:
• General medicine - Kaya chikitsa: "cure of diseases affecting the body"
Pediatrics - Kaumara-bhratya: "treatment of children"
Surgery - Shalya chikitsa: "removal of any substance which has entered the body (as extraction of darts, of splinters, etc.)"
Ophthalmology / ENT - Salakya tantra: "cure of diseases of the eye or ear etc. by sharp instruments"
Demonology / exorcism / psychiatry - Bhuta (past) vidya: "treatment of mental diseases supposed to be produced by past experiences"
• Toxicology) - Agada-tantra: "doctrine of antidotes"
Elixirs - Rasayana tantra: "doctrine of Rasayana"
Aphrodisiacs - Vashikaran tantra

There are two ways to approach Ayurvedic principles and terminology:
• Focus on the historical foundation (as evidenced in the oldest ayurvedic
texts, going back to the early centuries)
A description may take an ethnographic approach and focus on the forms of traditional medicine prevalent across India today.
Much like the medicine of classical antiquity, Ayurveda has historically taken the approach of enumerating bodily substances in the framework of the five classical elements also called Panchamahabhuta i.e. earth, water, fire, air and ether. Moreover, Ayurveda names seven basic tissues (dhatu).
• Plasma (rasa) Blood (rakta)
• Muscles (maunsa)
• Fat (meda)
• Bone (asthi) Marrow (majj a) Semen (shukra)
Ayurveda states that a balance of the three elemental substances, the Doshas,
equals health, while imbalance equals disease and these three doshas are: Vata,
Pitta and Kapha.
One Ayurvedic theory states that each human possesses a unique combination of
these doshas which define this person's temperament and characteristics.
Each person has a natural state, or natural combination of these three elements, and
should seek balance by modulating their behavior or environment. In this way they
can increase or decrease the doshas they lack or have an abundance of respectively.
Another view present in the ancient literature states that dosha equality is identical
to health, and that persons with imbalance of dosha are proportionately unhealthy,
because they are not in their natural state of balance. Prakriti is one of the most
important concepts in Ayurveda.
Dosha: In Ayurvedic theory, there are 20 qualities or characteristics (Gunas),
which are inherent in all substances. They can be arranged in ten pairs of
antonyms: heavy/light, cold/hot, unctuous/dry, dull/sharp, stable/mobile, soft/hard,
non-slimy/slimy, smooth/coarse, minute/gross, viscous/liquid.
Guna: Ensuring the proper functions of channels (srotas) that transport fluids is one
part of Ayurvedic treatment, because a lack of healthy channels is thought to cause
diseases. Practitioners treat patients with massages using oils and Swedana
(fomentation) to open up these channels.
Balance is emphasized; suppressing natural urges is considered unhealthy and
claimed to lead to illness; to suppress sneezing, for example, may give rise to
shoulder pain. However, people are also cautioned to stay within the limits of

reasonable balance and measure when following nature's urges. For example, emphasis is placed on moderation of food intake, sleep, and sexual intercourse. Ayurvedic doctors regard physical and mental existence as well as personality as a unit, each element having the capacity to influence the others. One of the fundamental aspects of Ayurvedic medicine is to take this holistic approach into account during diagnosis and therapy.
Comparison between existing Invention and New Invention :
Ayurveda has 8 ways of diagnosis. Nadi (Pulse)
• Mootra (Urine) Mala (Stool), Jinvha (Tongue) Shabda(Speech)
• Sparsha (Touch)
• Druk (Vision),
• Aakruti (Appearance)
Ayurvedic practitioners approach diagnosis by using the five senses. Hearing is used to observe the condition of breathing and speech. The study of the lethal points or marman marma is of special importance.
Treatment and health protection: Contemporary Ayurvedic theory tends to emphasize that building a healthy metabolic system, attaining good digestion and proper excretion lead to vitality.
Ayurveda also focuses on exercise, yoga, and meditation. To maintain health, a Sattvic diet can be prescribed to the patient.
Concepts of Dinacharya are followed in Ayurveda; dinacharya stresses the importance of natural cycles (waking, sleeping, working, meditation etc.) for healthy living. Hygiene, too, is a central practice of ayurvedic medicine. Hygienic living involves regular bathing, cleansing of teeth, skin care, and eye washing. Use of Natural medical substances: Ayurveda stresses the use of plant-based medicines and treatments. Hundreds of plant-based medicines are employed, including cardamom and cinnamon. In addition, fats are used both for consumption and for external use. Minerals, including sulphur, arsenic, lead, copper sulfate and gold are also consumed as prescribed. This practice of adding minerals to herbal medicine is known as rasa shastra.
Panchakarma: According to some experts, the practice of Panchakarma is a therapeutic way of eliminating toxic elements from the body.

Panchakarma includes Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshana and is preceded by Poorva karma (Preparatory Step) and is followed by Paschat karma and Peyadi karma.
The technique of reading the pulse is known as Nadi Vidnyan and the examination of through this method is called Nadi Parikshan. Nadi corresponds to pulse and Vidnyan means understanding, comprehension or specialized knowledge. It is a very old method and in olden days the Rajvaidya (King's Doctor), while examining the queen used to tie a silk thread to queen's hand read the vibrations. In fact this is one of the earliest technology where silk thread as an external object was used as an external tool for pulse examination. (Very similar to stethoscope) Nadi-pariksha means observation of the inter relation between mind, body, and soul. The pulsation of the blood through the body carries the vibrations produced in the cells of one's body due to the action of the mind. These vibrations and cellular information is carried to different parts of the body. These get stored in the cell's memory and result in the symptoms like headache, hypertension, hypo or hyperthyroidism and all other similar physiological symptoms. Through Nadi Parikshan we read and translate this information and also identify the cause of the physiological effects and symptoms of the disease in patient. This diagnosis through pulse helps us in understanding the resultant physiological effects generated by our actions and emotions.
Nadi Parikshan is a science perfected over time and has been the most accurate diagnostic procedure even today and a handful of people are following this science in present times.
The three fingers (i.e. index finger, middle finger and ring finger) symbolizing Vata, Pitta & Kapha are used as the receptors and screening tools to diagnose and scan all the internal conditions of the body as per ayurveda. Nadi Parikshan means observation of the inter relation between mind, body, and soul. Brain generates the impulse and induces the heartbeats to control the mind or soul. Brain generates electrical impulse in the muscles of heart which gives a certain movement to the heart muscles and because of which the contraction and relaxation of heart takes place.
Object of the present embodiment:-
In Ayurveda the information carried by the blood that travels through the nadi is made of the 5 elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. These elements combine in three distinct ways in the physical form called Doshas, psycho-physiological functional principles of the body. The three Doshas are
Vata (combines the elements of air and ether)

Pitta (fire and an aspect of water) Kapha (water and earth)
Doshas have very concrete and defined qualities connected to their respective
elements and through Nadi Pariksha we can-Find any disease condition without get several tests
• Find health of organs and tissues
• Find functional efficiency of organs
Find the root cause or how the disease or illness occurred
• Find physiological mental, emotional, psychological causes of any illness
• Find sub-conscious patterns causing illnesses
• Find prognosis given present condition
• Find cure for illness
The observations made through Nadi Parikshan are more graphical, reasonable and scientific. Thus, fingers of the nadi expert receive the information in the nadi of the subject to be recorded into a graphical form that helps to project a more explicit and still holistic, reliable and a concrete imaging of health status of the subject. Nadis are not nerves but rather channels for the flow of consciousness. The literal meaning of nadi is "flow". Just as the negative and positive forces of electricity flow through complex circuits, in the same way, prana shakti (vital force) and manas shakti (mental force) flow through every part of our body via these nadis. According to the tantras there are 72,000 or more such channels or networks through which the stimuli flow like an electric current from one point to another.
Detailed description of the invention:-
The natural condition of body is known as Prakriti and the illness or the Dosha that
occurs is Vikriti. The entire body that is all the organs get the nourishment through
blood and Vikriti can occur, only when a particular organ is malnourished, which
means that the problem is in blood supply to the organ and if the malfunctioning of
the organ is repaired then the Vikriti is controlled.
Nadi Parikshan plays a major role in examination and analysis of the patient. In
olden days Vaidyas (Physicians) diagnosed through pulse examination and the
reading of every vaidya varied. Hence the diagnosis also varied and the treatment
differed.
Pertaining to the individual analysis, of every vaidya and the lack of uniformity in
the said analysis creates different opinions and diagnosis.
Defining Pulse Rate: The pulse rate is the rate of blood flow and measured by
placing the three fingers (i.e. index finger, middle finger and ring finger)
symbolizing Vata, Pitta & Kapha on the radial artery at the wrist of the patient and

the pressure is increased slowly to measure the rate. The normal pulse rate is 72 per minute. Pulse Rhythm is a part of Nadi parikshan and denotes the speed of the blood waves and is of six types
• Sarpa Gati
Kale Gati
Hansa Gati
Manduk Gati
Gaja Gati
Ashwa Gati
Gati is the speed of blood working on brain electricity to go into the cardiac nerve
from chamber of heart and the Ejaculation Fraction (EF) of the wave was
calculated measure the current production based impulse power of brain.
Kaphaj Prakriti or High Power: The blood flow in the artery remains good and the
wave speed is not altered is known as Hansa Gati Nadi or Hansa Prakriti and
despite of the increased pressure of the fingers, the blood flow in the artery remains
strong is called Gaja Gati Nadi or Kaphaj Prakriti.
Pittaj Prakriti or Medium Power: It creates medium speed waves and is based on
the medium electric supply of brain is called Kak Gati Nadi or Pittaj Prakriti and in
this case when the pressure of two fingers on artery at wrist is increased the speed
of the wave is altered.
Vataj Prakriti or Low Power: It creates low speed waves and also known as Sarpa
Gati Nadi or Vataj Prakriti and the strength of blood flow is weak in this case and
the blood waves alter despite of the pressure on the artery at wrist is increased by
one finger.
The power source of body also known as Chetna Kendra is the brain.
PRAKRITI - FURTHER CLASSIFICATION
Ayurveda differentiate the prakriti in three broad categories pertaining to the power of Brain and are as follows
Kaphaj Prakriti describes the high power of brain
♦ Pittaj Prakriti describes the medium power of brain
Vataj Prakriti describes the low power of brain
But the prakriti always does not fall into the particular defined category but has further sub-divisions namely
Kaphaj-Pittaj Prakriti is a combination of high & medium brain power

• Kaphaj- Vataj Prakriti is a combination of high & low brain power
Vataj-Pittaj Prakriti is a combination of medium & low brain power
This is further sub-divided into three categories each.
Kaphaj-Pittaj Prakriti has high medium and low brain power combinations.
• Kaphaj- Vataj Prakriti has high medium and low brain power combinations.
• Vataj-Pittaj Prakriti has high medium and low brain power combinations.
The best time to measure the brain power is morning after the person is awake and
has not moved i.e. before doing any work or exercise and this is the ideal time for
diagnosis, because the brain is devoid of conscious thoughts and functioning
normally.
CORRELATION OF NERVOUS SYSTEM WITH NADI
The entire body systems (both voluntary and involuntary systems) are governed by nervous system and to understand the correlations, we need to understand the function of nervous system. Muscle contraction is initiated by the nervous system which together with the endocrine system controls the human organism. They are responsible for the steadiness of the inner environment and coordination of all the bodily functions. The nerve cell, a neuron, is the basic unit of the nervous system. Cells attending to muscles are called motoneurons. A neuron is composed of the body and projections. The shorter ones are called dendrites, the long one is axon. Through the dendrite the neuron is able to obtain information from other neurons. The axon then passes the processed information to other cells (e.g. muscle cells). The information is further spread along the neuron through changes in the voltage in the cell membrane, the so called action potential. The transfer of information between individual nerve cells is then secured by chemical agents. Once the action potential has reached the end of an axon, the mediator is released. Organization of neurons is as follows:
Neuromuscular junction is a place where the last motoneuron and the muscle cell meet. The binding of the mediator (acetylcholine) to the receptor brings about another action potential which spreads along the muscle cell membranes. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. The life system is solely dependent on blood as it carries oxygen to every part of body and it is done by the arteries. The artery structure is sub divided into smaller and thinner branches reaching out every organ in the body.

The ventricles in the heart pump blood with high pressure and heartbeats is simply the contraction and expansion of the heart pumping blood and it happens in a cycle of loading and unloading without collapsing under the high pressure. The artery walls consist three layers namely Outer, Middle & Inner layer

The outer layer consisting 2 arteries has white fibrous elastic tissues, which
expands and contracts as the blood flows. The elasticity of this tissue enables to
withstand the high pressure, thus to widen under the pressure. The middle layer
contracts and expand with the arteries. The inner layer of endothelium has flat
epithelial cells packed closely and is in continuous rhythm with the endocardium
of heart.
All the arteries carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery, which carries
de-oxygenated blood from lung to heart.
All these movements are involuntary and governed by the local motor movement
controlled by brain. These movements are governed by a particular frequency and
require a small current for the impulses known as axon.


We can measure the cyclical movements and the frequency and determine whether the functioning is proper or not.
AYURVEDIC INTERPRETATION
Ayurveda is one of the oldest established medical sciences and is practiced on the same principles as described in the scribes. Hence, in the present circumstances it needs revival with a modern approach. There are very few or virtually no technical advances in comparison to the modern medicine.
Dr. Pathak has completed his BAMS and is practicing for over three decades. In his vast practice, he has dealt with various cases and over the period has formulated some theories.
In his opinion, "Life or Pran is the vital energy in every living cell and it is dependent on the process of incorporating Oxygen (i.e. Pranvayu or Sanskrit name for oxygen). The vital energy that performs all the living functions is known as Pranshakti. The Pran are located in heart and the chetana or the inspiration is the power of brain, which controls the functions. Healthy life is a perfect co-ordination of Pran & Chetana (i.e. Heart & Brain). Prakriti is nothing but the functions of brain and Vikruti is the disorder/malfunctioning of particular part/organs, which are not receiving required oxygen through blood, hence not working to the fullest capacity."
In Dr. Pathak's practice, the approach of treatment has always been the repair of the organs as they are not functioning properly and to restore the proper functioning and to diagnose; Dr. Pathak has invented Nadi Graph (Electro Nadi Graph - ENG).
Electro Nadi Graph is one of the first technical advancement in otherwise nontechnical ayurveda, and being a measuring instrument is accurate and easy to use. The readings are uniform, error-free and give a correct Nadi Movement in the form of graph that denotes frequency.
Through the frequencies, the blood flow consistency can be accurately determined to pinpoint the brain management status of blood supply and nourishment vis-a-vis the illness occurred due to the improper functioning of the organ as the problem organ.

INTRODUCTION OF NADI GRAPH
After a long practice and examining thousands of patients, Dr. K.V. Pathak designed a machine that can analyze blood management of blood waves flowing through the artery at the wrist.

The equipment contains a wristband with a sensor, a monitor operating through an oscilloscope and connected to computer to record the blood wave pattern in speed versus timing.

PQRS is the wave and it begins from P and reaches the peak at Q comes to R to finally subside to S. The sensor in the Nadi Graph through an oscilloscope measures the timing of P to Q in milliseconds and produces a graph of the blood waves. These wave patterns are recorded and stored on computer. The timing can give us the cyclical and graphical representation of the voltage and speed through loading and unloading of the blood flow. The timing can also determine the quantity of blood thus to conclude on proper blood circulation.

With the detail blood pathology report containing cholesterol, carbohydrates & lipid profile, the malfunctioning or organ disorders can be detected. The blood circulation in the arteries is determined by the pumping of blood from the chamber of heart and frequency of the same can be measured in ECG. As the blood enters the artery, it flows further in waves which are loaded and unloaded by expansion and contraction of the muscle stimulant power connected to central nervous system surrounding the arteries. These movements are involuntary and governed by the voltage of local motorneurons controlled by brain. ENG measures the frequencies of time and voltage to determine the power of brain. The time required for one wave to load and unload depends on the brain power (current) blood circulation and pertaining to it we can divide the blood circulation in 3 main categories
Kaphaj Prakriti or High Power requires 450 to 650 milliseconds to load and unload the blood in one wave
• Pittaj Prakriti or Medium Power 250 to 450 milliseconds to load and unload the blood in one wave
• Vataj Prakriti or Low Power has a reading lower than 250 milliseconds to load and unload the blood in one wave
The wave Momentum Power in brain or the Prakriti depends on the brain current or impulses supply to blood waves to carry blood. The timing and voltage can be calculated in frequencies and can be divided into 3 categories as per the counting




Kaphaj Prakriti or High Frequency has a reading of 1 to 1.5 hertz
Pittaj Prakriti or Medium Frequency has a reading of 1.5 to 2.5 hertz
• Vataj Prakriti or Low Frequency has a reading of 2.5 to 3.5 hertz
Hence in Dr. Pathak's opinion Nadi Pariksha is examining the status of Brain Management through Nadi Graph and this can enable the Doctor to make multiple analyses.
ECG is Electrocardiography to record the electrical activity of the heart. Traditionally this is in the form of a trans-thoracic inteipretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the surface of the skin and recorded or displayed by a device external to the body. The recording produced by this non-invasive procedure is termed an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is possible to record ECGs invasively using an implantable loop recorder.

An ECG is used to measure the heart's electrical conduction system.[2] It picks up electrical impulses generated by the polarization and depolarization of cardiac tissue and translates into a waveform. The waveform is then used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats, as well as the size and position of the chambers, the presence of any damage to the heart. Most ECGs are performed for diagnostic or research purposes on human hearts.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current flows within the neurons of the brain. In clinical contexts, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a short period of time, usually 20-40 minutes, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp. Diagnostic applications generally focus on the spectral content of EEG, that is, the type of neural oscillations that can be observed in EEG signals.
ENG is the graphic status of brain management by measuring the frequencies of blood flow to detect the abnormalities as per the Vataj, Pittaj & Kaphaj prakriti and the results can be measured in few minutes.
ENG is very similar to ECG & EEG but is faster as the process takes just few minutes. The diagnosis through pulse can be proven as an alternative to various modern diagnostic methods like PET Scan, CT Scan, EEG, ECG, MRI, ultrasound and many more tests put together in one.
UNIQUENESS & ADVANTAGES OF NADI GRAPH DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis is the key to treatment and in the present medical scenario; diagnosis has
become technical through various equipments, tests and examinations.
The advantage of all the equipments and tests is then standardization of the
diagnosis, hence uniformity of the results.
The emergence has technology has helped medical practitioners in locating the
disorders and exact problems. It has helped surgeons in pinpointing the areas of
damage thus removal of tumors or affected organs.
The present use of technology in medical field can be seen in the use of various
prevalent technologies like PET scan, CT scan, MRI, X -Ray, Doppler, Ultrasound,
EEG, ECG, etc.
Each of these technologies specializes in particular area and is for particular organ
or ailment, whereas Nadi Graph can analyze the blood circulation to conclude in
following specific readings.

• Brain Impulse Voltage
Blood Format for Lipid Profile and Cholesterol
• Artery/Vein circulation Load Unload through timing difference
• Heart Disturbance through timing difference
Hence Nadi Graph can be a substitute to various tests. It reduces the time and the results as they are on the monitor save large amount of time to make Nadi Graph, the fastest diagnosis technology of detecting the brain power. It also determines the brain management status of proper/improper functioning.
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES OF NADI GRAPH AND ITS PROCESS
Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical science and use of one of the earliest
technology silk thread as an external object used as an external tool for pulse
examination or shalya chikitsa for surgery determine the techno-savvy approach of
ancient Ayurveda.
Dr. Pathak's Nadi Graph for bringing uniformity in the Nadi Parikshan is a very
similar instrument. Nadi Graph and the process of diagnosis are invented and
refined by Dr. Pathak after a very long research and practice.
The major economic advantage of Nadi Graph is with the basic support of Blood
reports; Nadi Graph can shorten various tests by single result test to give 4
concrete analyses.
• Brain Impulse Voltage
• Blood Format for Lipid Profile and Cholesterol Diagnosis
• Artery/Vein circulation Load Unload through timing difference Diagnosis
• Heart Disturbance through timing difference Diagnosis
In the prevalent scenario, all the advanced medical testing and examinations are
extremely costly and out of reach for common people.
The basic equipment consist a monitor attached to computer and a wristband with
sensor and the cost is negligible as compared to all the costly equipments used in
medical technology.
The End result of providing the readings can become very affordable and in fact
change the entire prevalent picture on cost cutting and time saving, hence can
make diagnosis economical, especially for poor and needy patients.
Using of Nadi Graph for ENG does not require special skills and can be operated
easily.

Pertaining to the normal readings as per prakriti, the higher/lesser readings
pinpoint the blood flow and the same can lead to the non-functioning organ.
Nadi Graph readings can be used to analyze all the three Nervous, Digestive &
Circulatory systems and this utility makes the Nadi Graph one of its kind
diagnostic technology.
In fact Nadi Graph (Electro Nadi Graph - ENG) can revolutionize the entire
diagnostic methods to become one of the best and holistic methods of diagnosing.
