Key takeaways
  1. 01Biophoton emission was measured from the hands of hemiparesis patients
  2. 02The unaffected hand tended to emit more light
  3. 03Acupuncture treatment reduced this left-right asymmetry
  4. 04No difference was seen between the palm and dorsum of the hand

In patients with one-sided weakness, the unaffected hand appeared to emit more light, an asymmetry that acupuncture seemed to reduce.

Abstract

Left-right biophoton asymmetry from the palm and the dorsum of hands from 7 Korean hemiparesis patients were studied. There is a strong tendency that the left-hemiparesis patients emit more biophotons from the right than the left hands, while the right-hemiparesis patient emits more from the left hand. Acupuncture treatment reduces dramatically the left-right asymmetry of biophoton emission rates. However there is no systematic difference for the patients in the emission rates from the palm and the dorsum of hands.
