Introduction to Bloodletting Therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Definition of Bloodletting Therapy

Bloodletting therapy is a unique acupuncture treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is a technique described in the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon), which uses a san leng zhen (three-edged needle) to puncture specific superficial blood vessels in the body according to different conditions, allowing a controlled amount of blood to be released. This method promotes blood circulation and qi flow, expelling pathogenic factors to achieve therapeutic effects.

Effects of Bloodletting Therapy

1. Antipyretic Effect

The antipyretic effect of bloodletting is applicable for yang sheng fa re (yang excess heat). Since excess yang energy leads to an abundance of blood, bloodletting can reduce this excess, thereby decreasing the pathogenic heat in the blood vessels and normalizing the body’s qi and blood.

2. Analgesic Effect

TCM holds that “where there is flow, there is no pain; where there is pain, there is no flow.” Bloodletting therapy can directly expel stagnant pathogenic factors from the meridians, alleviating blockages and allowing for immediate pain relief.

3. Fire Draining Effect

TCM believes that internal heat disturbances can lead to various conditions, often manifesting as irritability, limb pain and swelling, impatience, and even fever and confusion. Bloodletting therapy can directly expel the pathogenic heat through the blood, making it suitable for various heat syndromes.

4. Swelling Reduction Effect

Swelling and pain are often caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, leading to obstruction in the meridians. Bloodletting can directly eliminate stagnant qi and blood along with pathogenic factors, promoting unobstructed meridians and achieving swelling reduction.

5. Itch Relief Effect

Itching is a manifestation of wind pathogens present in the blood vessels; thus, the treatment principle is “treat the blood to eliminate wind, as blood flow will naturally dispel wind.” Bloodletting regulates blood and qi, ensuring smooth blood flow and eliminating wind pathogens, achieving itch relief.

6. Numbness Relief Effect

Qi deficiency may prevent blood from reaching the extremities, or blood deficiency may fail to nourish, often resulting in numbness. Using fine needles to puncture acupoints on the affected limbs to release a small amount of blood is guided by the theory of promoting blood flow to qi, yielding good results.

From a modern medical perspective, bloodletting therapy also helps improve blood circulation disorders, prevents pathological atrophy and degeneration of cells and tissues, promotes the restoration of diseased cells, aids in tissue regeneration and repair, prevents excessive inflammatory responses, and enhances the body’s immune function, controlling autoimmune diseases.

This therapy also has excellent analgesic properties, especially for ischemic pain, providing rapid pain relief. It can counteract allergies and itching, and through adjustments to the microenvironment, restore nerve cell function, regulate body temperature, reduce fever, delay aging, and combat senescence.

Safe and Natural

Many patients harbor fears about bloodletting due to a lack of understanding, worrying that excessive bloodletting may harm their health. However, acupuncture at acupoints helps promote blood circulation and qi regeneration, making it a very safe therapy.
