Article Synopsis
- Body temperature is commonly used to assess health, but measuring the temperature of specific acupoints on meridians may offer a more precise evaluation of health, as no prior standards exist for this method.
- A study of 100 medical college students measured the temperature of 135 acupoints across 14 meridians using infrared thermometers, revealing a consistent temperature range between 34.88°C and 36.14°C, with notable patterns in temperature distribution.
- The results suggest that meridian acupoint temperature could serve as an effective and sensitive indicator for evaluating overall human health, highlighting the need for further research into its clinical implications.
