Forty college volunteers were subjected to four groups: (1) saline; (2) sweet almond oil; (3) rosemary essential oil; (4) wood flower essence. The Automatic Reflex Diagnostic Komplex (ARDK), a device to detect 12 meridians energy, was used before and after the volunteers being smeared over their two hands with the solution according their group. Paired t-test and one way analysis of variance (one way ANOVA) were analyzed the differences by the statistical level of 0.05. The results indicated that many meridians energy decreased significantly by almond oil and rosemary essential oil, which induced the lower five elements. Wood flower essence, being smeared on hands, increased meridian energy on hands, as well as vitality, the ratio of upper/lower, metal element, master fire and assistant fire of five elements, but decreased stress ratio. Only the almond oil enhanced the ratio of yin/yang due to decreasing energy of three yang meridians on hands. The ratio of left/right was not affected by four groups.
