Observations of the current change on acupuncture spots at the meal time

Abstract

One of major issues on oriental medicine is to clarify effects and substances of a vital energy called as 'Qi(Ki) '. 'Qi(Ki) ' is a flow of the vital energy which is channeled via Kyung-rak in the structure of the human body. The oriental medicine says that when the flow of the vital energy is blocked, a health is lost. The oriental medicine recovers the health by controlling the flow of the vital energy with acupuncture. Spots responded to a disease is the Kyung-hyul on the Kyung-rak. The Kyung-rak is a meridian of a medical treatment by acupuncture. This study is intended to measure changes of the flow of the vital energy in connection with changes of current capacity through measuring the current change of the Kyung-hyul by impressing DC voltage. The change of the vital energy flow was indirectly expressed by measuring the changes of the body current on the physical change of the body before and after the meal among physical environmental changes. For it, an experiment was conducted for the above physical changes. As the result of the study, healthy persons showed a regular change of the body current pattern before and after the meal. On the other hand, the pattern of unhealthy persons current changes was very different from the pattern of health person's current changes.
