CORE DEFINITION

One breath with three beats (fewer than 60 beats per minute). The pulse is very slow.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Cold causes stagnation. When it is cold, river water flows slowly. If there is cold pathogen in the body, or yang qi is insufficient (the power pump has low output), it is like an engine in winter that cannot rev up. It is necessary to warm yang and dispel cold.

Anchor fast decisions

The 'slow' pulse refers to fewer than four beats per breath (approximately less than 60 beats per minute), mainly indicating cold syndrome and insufficiency of yang qi.
