Electrical impedance along connective tissue planes associated with acupuncture meridians
BACKGROUND Acupuncture points and meridians are commonly believed to possess unique electrical properties. The experimental support for this claim is limited given the technical and methodological shortcomings of prior studies. Recent studies indicate a correspondence between acupuncture meridians and connective tissue planes. We hypothesized that segments of acupuncture meridians that are asso...
متن کاملRelationship of acupuncture points and meridians to connective tissue planes.
Acupuncture meridians traditionally are believed to constitute channels connecting the surface of the body to internal organs. We hypothesize that the network of acupuncture points and meridians can be viewed as a representation of the network formed by interstitial connective tissue. This hypothesis is supported by ultrasound images showing connective tissue cleavage planes at acupuncture poin...
متن کاملBonghan circulatory system as an extension of acupuncture meridians.
The Bonghan system is a newly-discovered circulatory system, which corresponds to classical acupuncture meridians and was discovered in the early 1960s by Bonghan Kim. Despite its potential importance in biology and medicine, it has been ignored or forgotten for a long time. Only recently have most of its significant parts, such as the Bonghan system (BHS) inside blood or lymph vessels, on the ...
متن کاملAcupuncture Meridians exist in Dermis ( Connective Tissues ) – Comparative studies
Epidermal” and “Dermal” electrical potential measurements were performed at 3 acupuncture points of the Heart Constrictor and the Triple Heater meridians and 2 acupuncture points of the Lung meridian. Data analysis of these measurements in terms of electrical potential gradient and direction of current flow revealed the results consistent with those obtained from earlier experimental studies as...
متن کاملElectrical properties of acupuncture points and meridians: a systematic review.
According to conventional wisdom within the acupuncture community, acupuncture points and meridians are special conduits for electrical signals. This view gained popularity after anecdotal reports and clinical studies asserted that these anatomical structures are characterized by lower electrical impedance compared to adjacent controls. To ascertain whether evidence exists to support or refute ...
