Abstract
|
|
|
|
The flowing of Liver Qi upwards and outwards in all directions means importance especially for women because they are based on blood which is derived from Liver by the theory of oriental medicine. The function of Liver Qi is considered to be reflected at Rt. upper abdomen by meridian theory of oriental medicine. The body temperature was assesed ay DITI. Thermographic measurements were performed on 2 areas. All data were coded for computer analysis and significance were tested by unpaired T test. DITI revealed the significant hyperthermia of Rt. upper abdomen on the Liver Qi stagnation patients. These results suggest that the difference between upper and lower abdomen temperature is remarkably related to occurrence of Liver Qi stagnation. DITI may be favorable to the diagnosis and assessment of Liver Qi stagnation.
