Characteristics of acupuncture meridians and acupoints in animals

Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, an increasing number of studies has been conducted on the biophysical characteristics of the meridians and acupoints in humans and animals. The authors aim to further illustrate the objective existence and superficial locations of the meridians in various species of animals. Twelve sheep, ten goats, thirteen pigs, eleven cats, eight rabbits and seven donkeys were used to measure low impedance lines (LILs) and high percussion sound lines (HPSLs) on the skin surface of the animals, along the vertical planes of the dorsal line, using electrical impulses and high percussion sound. The results of these studies are given.
