Abstract:
Through the research result of 50 elderly peoples have practised relaxation we draw the following conclusion: 1. Traditional medicine’s relaxing practice has its effect to several biological indexes: *Electrict: -On ECG: the alpha wave increases in frequency, amplitude, indexes. The beta index reduces. The theta wave remains in charged. - On REG: The cardiac rhythm decreases and QT wave becomes longer but this change is not significant. *Respiratory: relaxation does not change the breath frequency and oxygen saturation (SaO2) * Circulation relaxation reduces pulse frequency, blood pressure (but still within normal unit), increases blood influx of limbs.* On Hop coc and Tuc tam ly points: The skin temperature increases, skin resistant decreases, no change with electric influx. On some biochemical indexes. Relaxation reduces sugar, cholesterol, triglycerid, cortison, catecholamin. 2. The change of some biochemical indexes mentioned above helps prove scientifically the effect of relaxation practice.
