Abstract:

BACKGROUND: From the point of energy, we discussed the two main methods of the lifting-inserting and entwisting needle through wave theory, based on the transmission of infra-sound energy.
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the effect of acupuncture at different frequency about the energy of focus transmission and the action to provide the basis for the research.
METHODS: Energy flux density and sound intensity level in physics were used to calculate the average energy flux density and level of intra-sound intensity versus frequency distribution.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The average inputting energy of acupoint in the lifting-inserting method was larger than the one in the entwisting needle. Though the inputting energy transmitting acupoint and meridian in acupuncture was very small, the energy flux density and the level of infra-sound intensity were large. In addition, based on the analysis of vibration characteristics in lifting-inserting method, it is suggested that meridian may be a organization liking to be rich in real elastic fibers and collagen fibers of the fascia.
