The Periodicity of Acupuncture Effect and the Mechanism of Vibrating Regulation of Acupuncture

In order to explore any regularity and characteristics of the effect of acupuncture, it was observed as detailed as possible. After acupuncture at the acupoints (Zusanli) in rabbits, the pain threshold (PT) and heart rate (HR) of the rabbits were observed discontinuously, and the intestinal peristalsis was observed continuously. The effects after acupuncture increased and decreased significantly (P＜0.05 and P＜0.01) and repeatedly and formed upward peaks or downward valleys. The effect-curve waves periodically, with a common periodicity of 28 min. The 28 minperiodicity curiously coincides with the 28.8 min-periodicity of the circulation of Qi along Meridians throughout the body in the traditional Chinese medicine. A regulative mechanism of vibration of acupuncture has been speculated, in which the bodily function is regulated by vibrating the various functions of all systems and all organs in the body to find individual balance point and adequate level automatically in the process of functional oscillation. In summary, acupuncture is a technique of auto-regulation and bi-directional regulation.
