[0002] Heat sensitivity determination is an objective and quantitative human inspection method for diagnosing the deficiency and excess states of viscera and meridians by determining the sensitivity of body surface acupoints to constant heat stimulation based on the meridian theory. The traditional method is to use incense to roast above the acupoint, and currently, a special electric heating probe or infrared radiator is used to measure the acupoint. If the values of left and right homonymic acupoints of a normal healthy person are close, and if there is a significant difference (>1.5 seconds or the ratio deviates 1) between the left and right homonymic acupoints, it indicates that the meridian and the corresponding viscera to which the acupoint belongs have imbalance.
