A method and system to find and analyze acupuncture points in which a probe uses alternating current with a high content of harmonic components. The current's frequency is set to be inversely proportional to the impedance at the point and preferably is about 1 kHz at 10000 ohm impedance level. The amplitude of measuring current is also inversely proportional to the impedance at the measured point. The output frequency is identical with the measuring frequency and is inversely proportional to the point's impedance. The hardware includes a reference electrode, such as a hand-held "grabber" metal stick and a measuring electrode (probe). The surface of the reference electrode is preferably about a hundred times larger than that of the measuring electrode. Both electrodes are connected to an impedance-to-frequency converter. The impedance-to-frequency converter is connected to the input port of a PC (Personal Computer) having a screen to display the impedance at each acupuncture point. The computer stores the impedance measured at each acupuncture point in memory when a switch on the probe is activated, and analyzes the stored data, for example, by comparing the impedances at various selected acupuncture points.
