What kind of pulse is described as feeling very small and broken in small dots? Which point prescription is appropriate?

The type of pulse described as feeling very small and broken in small dots typically corresponds to a deficiency condition, often associated with weakened kidney energies. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this pulse quality suggests a lack of nourishment and vitality, which can indicate issues such as kidney yang deficiency or even more profound forms of deficiency affecting the body’s overall energy.

The appropriate point prescription, which is option B, includes BL-23 (Shen Shu) and KI-3 (Tai Xi). BL-23 is the urinary bladder point that corresponds to the kidneys and is used to tonify kidney yang and replenish essential energy. This point helps support the roots of the body's vitality and can enhance overall kidney function. KI-3 additionally serves to nourish kidney yin and strengthen kidney essence, further supporting the health of the organs involved.

Using this combination effectively targets the root causes represented by the pulse description, addressing deficiencies and promoting a more balanced energetic state in the body, thereby resolving the presentation associated with this kind of pulse.
