A method for sensing a physiological feature is provided. A sensing apparatus is provided for sensing the physiological feature. The sensing apparatus includes a lighting unit, a light sensing unit, and a controller. The lighting unit and a light sensing unit are located on the same side of a portion under test of a testing subject. The lighting unit transmits a white light to the portion under test. The light sensing unit senses a reflected light. And the controller executes a measurement operation for the physiological feature based on a color wavelength of the reflected light.
