Brief Summary: Acupuncture have been used in clinical treatment of diseases for at least 3,000 years, and the efficacy of acupuncture has been recognized by countries all over the world. However, most of the selected points for acupuncture treatment of diseases are based on ancient books or inheritance of experience. For example, the " Shizong Acupoint Ballad " of acupuncture records: "Neiguan (PC6) care about the chest and stomach", that is, acupuncture Neiguan can be used to treat chest, heart and stomach diseases. However, there is no scientific evidence to verify this argument so far that the Shizong Acupoint Ballad mentions "Neiguan care for the chest and stomach", and that means that Neiguan acupoint can treat the diseases of cardiovascular system and gastrointestinal system. The purpose is to verify the argument of "Neiguan care about the chest and stomach", and design a clinical trial of the Neiguan and Jianshi (PC5) on both sides of the electroacupuncture (EA) to simultaneously evaluate the heart and stomach functions. We designed a crossover test; total 72 subjects randomly equally divide the into a sham group (sham electroacupuncture) and an EA group \[2Hz EA (PC6 is cathode) and PC5 is anode\]. At least one week of washing time, then the EA group changed to a sham group and the sham group changed to an EA group.

In this study, it is expected that the EA at PC6 and PC5 will affect the heart function and the function of the stomach at the same time, verifying the argument that "the PC6 care of the chest and stomach" recorded in the Shizong Acupoint Ballad.
