Abstract :
In this paper we excited acupuncture points by optical method and present the measurement results of photon detection at the following acupuncture point along the same meridian. The measurements were performed in the pericardium meridian and the comparison to the results of photon detection along non-meridian path also presented. The result shows the possibility that the propagation characteristic of photons along pericardium meridian differs from that along non-meridian path.
