Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the location of LI20 and ST3 by facial measurement according to Sasang Costitution, Sex and Age. Methods : To collect the photograph of face, we used the face measurement apparatus, and then analysed whether ST3 was located out of the nasolabial sulcus or not. Results : ST3 was located at the lateral to the nasolabial sulcus in 94.9%; 92.1% of Soyangin, 97.7% of Taeumin, 94.4% of Soeumin 92.3% of male, and 92.3% of female according to Sasang Constitution and sex. According to age distribution, the highest percentage(100%) was appeared at $16{\sim}20$ age, and the lowest(91.8%) was appeared at $70{\sim}74$ age. Conclusion : This study suggests that actual measurement would be nessesary with classical literature to determine the location of acupuncture point, and we need more study in other race.
