Abstract
To observe the eventual thermic effects of stimulating Taixi ( Kl 3) by telethermography. Methods: Nine individuals of both sexes, chosen randomly, participated in this study. The temperature of the room where the experiment was carried out was not above 21 °C. At the start of the experiment the volunteer stayed for exactly ten minutes in the room for acclimatization, then the first thermographic image was recorded for standardization purposes. Following this, an acupuncture needle was inserted at Kl 3 only in the right leg, whose depth was limited to obtain Deqi, only manual stimulation for 15 min permanence in the site. After this period, new images were recorded.
