  ABSTRACT: Acupuncture point differs from non-acupuncture points in terms of receptor intensity, primarily noci receptors. This histological difference characterizes the acupuncture points. Among these differences, especially electrical properties of acupuncture points are noteworthy; these points are characterized by increased conductance, reduced impedance and resistance, increased capacitance and elevated electrical potential. The alterations in surrounding tissues and related organs lead to changes in the electrical properties of acupuncture points. I suggest that the changes in the surrounding tissues and related organs can be determined by electrical measurements from acupuncture points. We are in the opinion that electrical changes at acupuncture point may be useful in early diagnosis and treatment by determining the pathological condition of the related organ and around the acupuncture point at the initial stage.
