Bloodletting at the acupoints should be carried out under the operation of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner by puncturing the acupoints to make them bleed, and can also be combined with cupping treatment.
Bloodletting at the acupoint should be done by pushing and pressing the acupoint up and down to make it partially congested, and then using a sterilized three-pronged needle to quickly pierce the skin at the acupoint, which should be inserted gently and quickly, and should not be too deep, so as to make it bleed naturally, generally about 5 drops, and then using a sterilized cotton ball to press down on the needle holes.
Bloodletting at the Commission Central Point can treat symptoms such as lumbar pain, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Cupping treatment can also be performed after puncture bleeding for people with lumbar pain to strengthen the effect of pain relief.
It should be noted that bloodletting is not recommended for people with bleeding tendency or severe varicose veins in the lower limbs. Specific treatment should be carried out by a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, not self-operation.
