Abstract
Acupuncture is one of the first complementary and alternative medicine methods in the world. But the mechanism of the acupuncture is still a mystery, it attracts many researchers to this field. The aim of our research is to explore the regulative effects of acupuncturing Neiguan and Shenmen acupoints. In this paper, a research based on Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is presented. With this method, the energy is redistributed after the acupuncture, especially after the fourth acupuncture stimulus. It is concluded that, the acupuncture can change the distribution of the energy after several stimuli.
