Human body such as hands, foots and face are related with five organs. Particularly, foots are called 'second cardiac'. In this paper, we should like to analyze changes of facial color according to stimulation kidney associated foot acupressure point. To this end, we collected facial image of before and after of kidney associated foot acupressure point to normal kidney 20s male in 10 then we measured K of CMYK color system with L of Lab color system in JIGAK area associated kidney of facial area. As a result of us experiment, after stimulation of kidney associated foot acupressure point, L is increased and K is decreased in 90% of subjects. Finally, the effectiveness of this paper is demonstrated with several experiments.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effect of high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and San-Yin-Jiao (SP6) acupressure on primary dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, the difference in effectiveness between the two methods were compared. METHODS: Twenty-six students participated in this study, and were randomly assigned to a high-frequency TENS group(experimental 1, n=9), a San-Yin-Jiao (SP6) acupressure group(experimental 2, n=9), and no treatment group(control, n=8). They were assessed and treated on the first day of their menstruation. The TENS protocol included applying 20 minutes of stimulation with a frequency of 100Hz, $100{\mu}sec$ pulse width. Four electrodes were placed on the skin 3 cm from midline at T12-L1 and S2-3 paravertebral muscles. San-Yin-Jiao (SP6) acupressure should be applied with the thumb for 10 minutes(8 seconds pressure and 2 seconds rest) on the SP6 acupoint. This procedure should be repeated for the other foot. Dysmenorrheal pain measured two pain assessment tools (VAS, DPT) pre-treatment; immediate post-treatment; 30minutes, 1, 2hours; and 3, 4, 5, 6, 24 hours after the VAS test were added. RESULTS: The results showed significant differences in pain assessments (VAS, DPT) after treatment for subjects of experimental group1 (p<.05) and experimental group2 (p<.05), whereas the between-group comparison found no statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION: This result supports the idea that using two methods could be effective in pain reduction among students who suffered from primary dysmenorrhea.

사람의 신체 중 손, 발, 얼굴 부위는 오장육부와 관련이 있다. 이 중 발은 '제2의 심장'이라고까지 불러지고 있다. 이러한 내용은 발의 건강이 인체의 건강을 유지할 수 있고 혈액순환에도 중요하다는 의미도 있다. 본 논문에서는 발 지압점에서도 신장과 관련된 지압점이 있다는 내용을 기반으로 발 지압을 통한 얼굴의 색상 수치 변화를 분석하였다. 특히, 얼굴 부위 중 신장을 나타내는 지각 부위의 Lab 색체계에서 L값과 CMYK 색체계에서 K값의 변화를 분석하였다. 결론적으로 신장 발지압 자극에 따른 지각 부위의 색상 변화를 통한 지압의 효과성을 객관적으로 입증하는 실험을 수행하였다.
