Moderate pulse

缓脉 〔緩脈〕 huǎn mài

A pulse with four beats per respiration (slightly faster than a slow pulse) and that is soft and harmonious in its form. Construed as a normal pulse, it is even and moderate and is a sign of the presence of stomach qì; construed as a pathological pulse, it is forceless and is mostly seen in dampness patterns and in spleen-stomach vacuity. See pulse examination.
