Abstract
Objective : This study was done to observe the effects on the thermal changes of herbal acupuncture. There were remarkable local thermal changes between pre and post herbal acupuncture therapy on D.I.T.I. or not. If there are those, we examine how long changes of those were maintained, what is the adequate interval on herbal acupuncture therapy. Methods : D.I.T.I, was used to study the local thermal changes in herbal acupuncture therapy. Determination of this analysis periods are pre and post-therapy(1hour, 1day, 7days later). The study group was divided into six groups that are NS group(No.=20), CF group(No.=22), BU group(No.=23), BUM group(No.=19), HP group(No.=20) and BV group(No.=l9). The herbal acupuncture was injected by 0.2ml divided into 0.05ml at the Fengmen(風門: B12), Feishu(肺兪: B13), Fufen(附分: B41), Pohu(魄戶: B42) 4 points. Then, we checked the thermal changes of their point after performing. Results : The following results were obtained ; 1. In CF groups, significant dermatothermal difference between pre and post therapy was not checked, In BU group that continued until post-therapy 1day, in HP group until 1hour, in BV group until 2days. In BUM, HP and BV group, Most dermatothermal difference was checked at post-therapy 1hour, in BU group at post-therapy 1day. 2. At post-therapy 1 hour, significant dermatothermal different between pre and post therapy was checked among BU group, BUM group, HP group and BV group. At post-therapy 1day and 2days, checked among BU group, BUM group and BV group. At post-therapy 7days, not checked among all groups. The group that highest dermatothermal difference were checked is BV group.
