Soggy pulse

A soft pulse lacking in force. A soggy pulse tends to float and is thin, though less distinctly so than a thin pulse. The soggy pulse is associated with dual vacuity of blood and qì and with damp encumbrance.

Similar pulses: A faint pulse is extremely fine and weak, indistinct, and almost imperceptible. It indicates qì and blood vacuity desertion. The vacuous pulse, like the soggy pulse, is weak, but differs in that it is large rather than thin. The term vacuous is also generally used to connote weakness, particularly in combinations such as vacuous rapid pulse, vacuous stringlike pulse, etc.
