The invisible "human glow" has intrigued scientists since 1911. British doctor Walter Kilner first discovered a luminous edge, about 15 millimeters wide, surrounding the human body by applying double flower pigment dye to a glass screen. Subsequently, Soviet scientist Semyon Koryal used electric field photography to capture this glow.
In the 1980s, advanced technology in Japan and the United States further explored the "human glow." The Japan New Technology Development Organization successfully displayed "biophotons" using photomultiplier tubes and imaging devices, applying these findings in medical research. Studies revealed that the intensity of the glow is closely related to human metabolism and can be used to assess a patient's health status.
Scientists also found that the glow corresponds with acupuncture points, and each person's glow has a unique pattern. American researchers noted that the glow presents a blurred image before the onset of diseases, while cancer patients exhibit abnormalities. Soviet studies indicated that alcohol and smoking can alter the glow's morphology, suggesting it could serve as an auxiliary method for quitting smoking and drinking.
Despite the widespread interest in the "human glow," its origin remains an unsolved mystery. Some believe it may be a form of bodily code, while others view it as a manifestation of natural life phenomena. Currently, experts worldwide are actively investigating, hoping to unveil the veil of this mysterious phenomenon.
