Biophotonics and reflexology: conceptualization of the role of biophotonic signaling

Abstract

The theoretical research was carried out in order to create a biological medical theory that could conceptually describe the substrate and mechanisms of transmission of the therapeutic effect of reflexology through biologically active points and resolve the scientific paradox regarding the existence of the primary vascular system. This is an urgent problem for modern fundamental science and medicine in order to replenish scientific knowledge, further medical progress and understand the mechanisms of effectiveness of traditional medicine and reflexology according to the resolutions of the Gujarat Declaration of the Traditional Medicine Global Summit 2023 meeting report. The aim of this study is to conceptualize modern ideas about the role of biophotons/biophoton signaling in the implementation of reflex connections between organs through energy channels in the human body, which are defined in traditional medicine as meridians. Materials and methods. general scientific and theoretical methods were used during the theoretical research. Results. A working concept of the participation of biophoton signaling mechanisms in intercellular communication and reflex interaction between tissues, organs and segments of the human body was developed. Conclusions. 1. At the nano-level, biophoton signaling is an important electromagnetic mechanism of intercellular communication, which ensures the information transfer of genetic information from DNA molecules to all molecules and cells of the body, participates in the creation of biological electromagnetic fields at all hierarchical levels and provides the electromagnetic basis of the phenomenon of life. 2. At the level of the organism, biophotonic signaling is an important part of energy exchange in the human body and ensures the implementation of reflex connections between organs through myofascial connections and the primary vascular system, which topographically correspond to the meridian system of traditional medicine. 3. The primary vascular system is a new anatomical system that is fundamentally different from the circulatory system and the lymphatic system of the human body, which is histomorphologically adapted to transmit the electromagnetic biophoton signal according to the optical fiber principle at the speed of light and is the morphological substrate of the meridian system of traditional medicine. 4. The concept of biophoton signaling complements modern ideas about energy exchange in the human body, does not contradict them, logically substantiates the participation in the processes of transmission of electromagnetic energy of the primary vascular system and explains the fundamental aspects of the role of electromagnetic processes in the realization of the phenomenon of human life.
