Objective To observe the immediate effect of moxibust ion on infrared th ermal imaging
heart rate
skin conductance and blood oxygen saturation.Methods Forty six college students were selected.Moxibustion was conducted on bilateral laogong (PC8)
shenque(RN8)
bilateral zusanli(ST36) and yongquan(KI1).Heart rate
skin conduc tance and blood oxygen saturation were detected before and after moxibustion.In frared thermal image data was collected in 41 subjects before and after moxibustion.Results There were significant differences in infrared thermal image data in various parts of the body expect nose
mouth
chest
left chest and right chest after moxibustion(P<0.05 or P<0.01).The differences betwee n before and after moxibustion in skin conductance
blood oxygen saturation and heart rate were significant(P<0.01).Conclusion Moxibustion has tw o-way adjustment function and could improve blood circulation.
