The *Yao Lue* (Essentials of the Golden Cabinet) states: The pulse of malaria naturally presents as a string-like (Xian) pulse. If string-like and rapid, there is much heat; if string-like and slow, there is much cold. If string-like, small, and tight, purgation may be used; if string-like and slow, warming may be used; if string-like and tight, sweating may be induced. If floating and large, vomiting may be induced. If string-like and rapid, it is wind-induced fever; it should be managed by dietary adjustments to subdue it.
The *Mai Jing* (Pulse Classic) states: The pulse of malaria naturally presents as a string-like (Xian) pulse. If weak, it indicates deficiency; if intermitting (Dai) or scattered (San), death ensues.
