Objective & Methord : The aim of this study is to examine the effects of indirect moxibustion at the PC6(Naegwan) on normal human beings using power spectrum analysis. Electroencephalogram(EEG) power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in various frequency bands. 8 channels EEG study was carried out in 10 subjects(3 females and 2 males). Result : Average value of alpha-wave is decreased significantly in moxa treatment group of real acupoint(PC6) comparing 'before' and 'during' , 'before' and 'after' of the experiment. In non-acupoint(near LU5) group, Average value of alpha-wave is decreased significantly comparing 'during' and 'after'. Alpha value of Both group was decreased according to the degree and the difference is rapid in 'during' - 'after' block. Compare the treat of real acupoint with non-acupoint, there was non significant difference. Conclusion: These results suggested that moxa treatment can revitalize normal human and the influence moxa treatment is more powerful then acupoint-nature. For these reason, usage of substitute moxa for acupuncture is not reasonable.
