The 4 properties of Chinese refer to cold, hot, warm, and cool. In the present study, the effects of the , the prepared aconite root, and dried ginger rhizome were compared with regard to the rectal and skin temperature changes of the related body surface acupuncture points (Dazhui, Zhiyang, Mingmen, Zhongwan, and Shenque). The investigation aimed to explore the thermal sensitive points, which can reflect the cold and hot properties of the Chinese herbs. This study showed that the prepared aconite root and dried ginger rhizome exhibited a warming effect on the body temperature, whereas the warming sensitive points were Zhongwan, Shenque, Dazhui, and Zhiyang. exhibited both a warming and a cooling effect on the body temperature, and the cooling sensitive point was Dazhui. The concomitant effect of these three Chinese herbs on the regulation of the body temperature was reflected by Dazhui. However, there are still some limitations and one-sidedness. For instance, the cold and hot property of some herbs cannot be fully reflected through relevant acupoints on the conception and governor vessels. More detecting sites such as ears and internal organs will be selected for further exploration of Chinese herbs' cold and hot property.
中药的四性指寒、热、温、凉。在本研究中，比较了附子、炮附子和干姜对相关体表穴位（大椎、至阳、命门、中脘、神阙）直肠温度和皮肤温度变化的影响。该研究旨在探索能反映中药寒热性的热敏点。本研究表明，炮附子和干姜对体温有升温作用，升温敏感点为中脘、神阙、大椎和至阳。[此处原文缺失一种中药名称]对体温有升温和降温作用，降温敏感点为大椎。这三种中药对体温调节的协同作用通过大椎体现。然而，仍存在一些局限性和片面性。例如，某些中药的寒热性不能通过任脉和督脉上的相关穴位完全反映出来。将选择更多检测部位，如耳朵和内脏，进一步探索中药的寒热性。
