Visualization of the Meridian Courses by the Mineral Pulse Light Stimuli

Abstract Background; The infrared thermographic technology was used to visualize the meridian course, "energetic paths" at the human body surface from 1980s. However, the study failed as acupuncture, moxa and Laser needle stimulus. Objectives; The purpose of this study is to visualize the meridian course by mineral pulse light stimulator, new acupoints stimulus method. Methods; Any acupoints at arms (PC6) and legs (SP6, SP4, KI3) were stimulated by the mineral pulse light stimulator during 15 ~ 30 minutes. Results; When any acupoints at arms and legs were stimulated by the mineral pulse light stimulator, the meridian-like high thermal lines were induced along the connective classic meridians after 3 minutes usually. The rising temperature is average 1.85 ± 0.52℃ (P < 0.001). Inducing rate of MLHTL is 80.3% (male 80.0%, female 3.0%) and reappearance rate 100%. Conclusions; The meridian-like high thermal lines are induced along the meridian course at the classic meridian figure, so that the meridians course as "energetic paths", were visualized by mineral pulse light stimulator, new acupoints stimulus method first on the world. Everyone can induce MLHTL by MPL stimulator (Version 1.0), so that can see it anytime from now on.
