An extremely weak light emission originating from the cells, tissues and organs of all living organisms is generally referred to as“biophoton emission”. This phenomenon is different from the well known bioluminescence, that is visible light emission from firefly and luminescent bacteria for example. Our earlier studies on biophoton emission from human body surface showed that the emission intensity is stronger in the index and middle fingers than the middle of the palm.
In the present study, we report the results of measurement of ultraweak biophoton emission from human body surface, especially at the acupuncture points on fingers.
