Hanno Project: Spanning the Arc from Traditional Gyoki to Classical Medicine

Abstract

Vidan D and Oliver F

Within the Swiss research project "Hanno" (derived from an old strategy in Japanese sword fighting) the process of self-healing induced by Gyoki touch is experimentally analyzed. For this purpose, different state-of-the-art measurement technologies are evaluated in order to enable the observation of the effects caused by Gyoki touch and to deterministically document their modes of action. So far, two studies have been published using infrared screening on the one hand and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) monitoring on the other hand; both methods are suitable for measuring Gyoki induced self-healing processes and enable insights into the effects and functioning principles of Gyoki touch.
