  Abstract

Since the balance of the autonomic nervous system(ANS) is very important for maintaining the homeostasis of the human body, this study investigated the effect of auricular acupuncture(AA) on the ANS. The experiment was conducted on 12 healthy subjects, and the change of heart rate variability(HRV) and skin conductance before and after AA treatment on the Shemen(TF4), Xin(CO15), and Netenmi(CO18) acupoints were measured, and the correlation between changes in the ANS and blood vessel indicators was studied. The LF/HF ratio for evaluating the balance of the sympathetic-parasympathetic nerve in the ANS was reduced to 0.55 in 5 min. after AA treatment, therefore, it is thought that the activation of parasympathetic nerve increased compared to sympathetic nerve. The skin conductivity, which indicates the degree of relaxation of tension, also decreased after AA treatment. This seems to support the results of the ANS analysis. The change in vascular indicies also improved after AA treatment. Therfore it is believed that AA treatment on TF4, CO15, CO18 acupoints regulates the balance of ASN and, accordingly, affects blood vessel indicators.
