Bloodletting therapy is a unique acupuncture treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is one of the most commonly used therapeutic techniques since the era of the Nei Jing (Inner Canon), which even considers bloodletting as the first choice for treating diseases and alleviating pain. Depending on the patient’s specific condition, a three-edged needle or a thick, sharp needle is used to puncture certain acupuncture points or superficial blood vessels on the patient’s body to release a suitable amount of blood, achieving the therapeutic purpose of this external treatment method.
The Effects of Bloodletting Therapy
It has a beneficial bidirectional regulatory effect on the blood system
Research indicates that bloodletting therapy can promote human metabolism, stimulate bone marrow hematopoiesis, accelerate metabolism, improve microcirculation and vascular function, facilitate the elimination of harmful substances from the blood, and ensure beneficial substances are timely replenished into the bloodstream, thereby helping the body re-establish homeostasis and restore normal physiological functions. By improving microcirculation, it can also prevent excessive inflammatory responses and promote the recovery of inflammation.

Bloodletting Techniques
1. After identifying the blood point, use wrist strength to quickly puncture, aiming for 6-9 punctures in one second.
2. For prominent vessels, a single puncture should yield blood, which will generally spurt out, so be prepared and avoid letting the dirty blood remain shallow.

Reactions After Bloodletting
1. 80% of patients feel relaxed and comfortable after bloodletting, while 20% may experience increased pain. Those who feel increased pain tend to heal much faster than those who feel immediate relief.
2. If there is no sensation after 5-10 bloodletting sessions, it is not advisable to continue.
3
Timing for Bloodletting
1. For inflammation and acute pain patients, bloodletting can be done once a day; after alleviating symptoms, once every 3-5 days.
2. For chronic patients, once every other day, and after seeing results, once every 5-7 days. Bloodletting can be performed at cupping sites for 15-20 minutes.

Contraindications for Bloodletting
1. Patients with severe bleeding or those prone to subcutaneous bleeding.
2. Severe heart disease.

Diagnosis Through Blood Analysis
1. Light-colored blood indicates inflammation or an early-stage illness. For rheumatic diseases, liver diseases, blood mixed with water, and dark blood resembling ink indicates a long-standing illness, obstructing the vessels.
2. If bloodletting reduces pain during the day but worsens at night, it indicates blood stasis, and another session is necessary until relief is achieved.
