The new technique

NMR (nucleaf magnetic resonance) spectrum analysis was used in this research to measure the state of energetic metabolism of hepatic cells at the organic level. The experimentai results demonstrated that moxibustion on Guanyuan (CV4 ) point could remarkably increase the ATP molecules in the hepatic cells

significantly raise the therrnodynamic reserve and phosphate potential of the hepatic cells

so as to enhance the functional activities of liver. It is discussed here of the mechanism of anti-tumor by moxibustion treatment and of the theory of warming the kidney and enhancing the Yang to tonify to energetic Qi by moxibustion on Guanyuan point
