There is no such thing as the top ten effects of bloodletting therapy in clinical practice. Bloodletting therapy is a kind of external treatment method in Chinese medicine, also known as blood-stabbing method, which usually has the efficacy of draining heat, subduing swelling and relieving pain.
Bloodletting is a treatment method that uses three-pronged needles to puncture specific areas or points, causing a small amount of bleeding, in order to achieve the purpose of releasing heat, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and is generally used for solid and hot cases.
The specific operation method is to first push and press up and down on the site of needling, hold the needle in the right hand, the thumb and forefinger pinch the handle of the needle, the end of the middle finger is close to the lower end of the needle body, leaving the tip of the needle, aiming at the sterilized site to stab it quickly, immediately discharging the needle, gently squeezing the area around the needle hole to make a few drops of bleeding, and then pressing the needle hole with a sterilized cotton ball.
If the patient needs to perform the blood-stabbing method, it must be done under the operation of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner, and must not be handled on its own to prevent adverse consequences.
