Objectives: Pulse energy values recorded with an add-pressure-type pulse apparatus were correlated with Sasang
constitutional syndromes in order to match pulse energy values with Sasang prescriptions.
Methods: The pulse energy values were measured with Daeyo Pulse Apparatus at the Gwan pulse point of both wrists.
Prescriptions were divided into two major categories of interior syndromes or exterior syndromes, and categorized
according to major component herbs specific to each of the four Sasang constitutions, and the relationship between
the pulse energy and each groups divided by their prescription was studied.
Results: About 10% of all people had normal pulse energy values. 10% had values over normal range, and 70~80%
had lower values than normal. The normal range of pulse energy was regarded as being between 450 and 700.
Conclusions:
1. For patients of the Soeum constitution, prescriptions without Panax ginseng is suitable for patients with high pulse
energy, and prescriptions containing Panax ginseng are suitable for patients who have lower pulse energy.
2. All prescriptions for the Soyang constitution containing Rehmannia radix preparata or Cornus officinalis are
suitable for patients who have lower pulse energy, and prescriptions containing Rehmannia radix or Gypsum
fibrosum are applicable to patients with pulse energy values higher than normal.
3. Most prescriptions for the Taeum constitution containing Semen coicis or Semen castaneae are suitable for patients
with lower pulse energy, and prescriptions containing Radix puerariae or Radix et rhizoma rhei can be prescribed
for patients who have lower pulse energy levels.
4. The Taeyang constitutional prescription Ogapijangcuck-tang is suitable for patients who have higher pulse energy
levels and Mihudeungsikjang-tang is better for patients with lower than normal pulse values.
As described above, the pulse energy level of each patient can be matched with a specific Sasang constitutional
prescription. If this relationship is taken into consideration with other conventional symptoms, it can be helpful in
diagnosis, improving efficacy of treatment, and be used as objective evidence.
Key Words : Pulse energy, SCM prescriptions, Sasang constitutional medicine.
