Abstract:
To demonstrate acupunctural effects on remote areas of the human body, a needle was held stationary at l-Lv-8 and the changes in skin temperature were measured at the location of the congested-blood syndrome in the left hypogastric region, using a skin thermometer and a thermal video system. The acupuncture caused the temperature to rise from a level lower than in the normal state. As a control, healthy persons were treated in the same manner, but no appreciable change was observed.
With a patient having congested-blood syndrom in the left hypogastric region, the l-Lv-8 point was tender to the touch. This was not the case with healthy persons.
It has thus been demonstrated that a stationary insertion at an abnormal point has an effect on the specific, remote location where the abnormal condition exists.
Only one insertion at an abnormal point has proven effective.
