ABSTRACT
Objectvie To observe the law of heat transfer in Zusanli during the process of moxibustion. Methods:
Thetemperature change of Zusanli was detected by self-made high-precision temperature sensor while moxibustion on lowerextremities acupoints on six meridians of foot in healthy volunteers for fifteen minutes, the temperature change curve andtemperature change rate curve were drawn with Origin software.Results:
Temperature change curve of Zusanli was thebiggest when moxibustion on acupoints in stomach meridian of foot yangming, especially for Shangjuxu acupoint.Whenthe acupoints near the level of Zusanli are moxibusted, the temperature change curve of Zusanli changes obviously.Temperature change rate curves of Zusanli were basically in coincidence when moxibustion on lower extremities acupoints on six meridians of foot, and it had a downward trend.Conclusion:
Heat transfer between meridians andacupoints have propagated sensation along channel, regional characteristics, consistency of transmission rate, in theprosess of moxibustion.
