Bloodletting is also known as blood pricking, or blood priming. Bloodletting can treat many patients, especially some serious illnesses, the so-called long-term disease will be stasis, pricking blood to remove the stagnant blood in the patient’s body directly and quickly, often to obtain miraculous results, compared to internal Chinese medicine or massage and heat therapy and other methods to activate blood stasis, the effect is many times faster. In general, bloodletting therapy includes acupuncture point pricking method, meridian pricking method, stagnant luo pricking method, micro luo pricking method, reaction point pricking method, distal pricking method, local ayurvedic point pricking method, upper disease down treatment method, lower disease up treatment method, etc. Over the years, I have studied several schools of techniques to study blood pricking, in general, each has its own rationale, each has its own wonderful method, each has its own curative effect. Because of the main treatment of intractable pain, I clinically apply the most blood stabbing method for the stasis of the luo, the performance of the stasis of the luo is generally the anger of the blood vessels, but do not take varicose veins as the stasis of the luo bloodletting point, then the blood is not released, the treatment will not be good. The method of bloodletting, which is more common in the past, is Mitsubishi needle pricking, which is also an old traditional method of pricking blood. Other methods are plum blossom needle buckling cupping bleeding method, porcelain blade cutting bleeding method, there are also methods of sucking blood with locusts, also useful vacuum machine blood priming, these years there is a disposable infusion needle bleeding, each has its own advantages, each has its own characteristics. I still prefer the traditional Mitsubishi needle stabbing blood, Mitsubishi needle stabbing blood is still different from the effect of round-tipped needles, with the infusion needle so to lead the blood, said clean and healthy not bloody, but I do not like, which is somewhat similar to the difference between plastic vacuum cupping and traditional bamboo fire can, so many years I have been very stubbornly clinging to the bamboo fire can, not paranoid, but after years of clinical practice comparison, I have their own I have my own understanding and experience. Although some people say that using Mitsubishi needles to stab blood looks scary and bloody, but I do not have any of these feelings in my heart or eyes when bleeding, neither do I feel dirty, nor do I feel horrible and disgusting, my mind is fearless and fearless, and I only think about how to do it to achieve the best healing effect. Good needles must be made of high quality steel, made into a Mitsubishi needle after the most critical process is quenching, so that the tip of the needle can be sharpened. General stainless steel is relatively soft, it is never possible to grind a sharp edge so the steel is very important, quenching process is also very important, those sold in the market are machine-made, the material is also ordinary stainless steel, the cost is very low. If you talk about the characteristics of some metals, I also know more, which is also the advantage of experience, because I used to work in the factory is a special metallurgical industry, dealing with a variety of metals. The market to buy those Mitsubishi needles, the main one is not sharp enough, even no matter how to grind, is to grind unfavorable, even if it is easy to feel very sharp, a zap skin will immediately roll mouth, the tip of the needle to form a barb, can not be very casual play doctor’s level, a good needle tool, just like a handy weapon, use it as smooth as running water, to show the maximum doctor’s The level of skill. I use the Mitsubishi needle is homemade, and then also must be well-made, the needle tip taper can not be sharp, nor too obtuse angle, Mitsubishi needle of the three edges must be balanced, the width is not the same use of the men will be different resistance. First coarse grinding, and then slowly fine grinding, and finally to use the best kind of water polishing stone to fine grinding, grinding out the edge will be very smooth and sharp, feel like blowing hair can break that. But it is easy to say, it is difficult to do, to do a satisfactory Mitsubishi needle is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, if there is no some aesthetic foundation, without a certain level of dexterity, the average person is difficult to grind a high level, so even if you give you one of the world’s best needle tool, you do not grind well, also equal to zero. What I said here is mainly to express my idea of a treatment, rather than hope that you come to me to buy the needle, you do not have the conditions can create the conditions, why people say what immediately thought to go to him to buy ready-made it, the idea of understanding, you can use their own imagination to create the most suitable for their own needle. The method of stabbing blood, a bit of stabbing, there are scattered stabbing, scattered stabbing also have to pay attention to, the needle must be exceptionally sharp, and then there is a word “fast”. A shake of the hand, six or seven needles a second, so that the speed of the patient will not feel much pain. In addition to some localized pain points, I still use the most punctures to release blood. If you don’t have much experience, you can use your middle finger in the front to reveal the depth you need to pierce, so that you don’t hurt the nerves and blood vessels because you can’t grasp the depth of the needle and pierce too deep. I often use the shake method, is a shake instantaneous needle method, the needle tip oblique pressure on the skin, the skin epidermis is pressed a small pit, and then very quickly stand up the needle tip a shake, the needle stabbed in, blood stasis immediately out of the trend, in fact, should be used to slip in to express the most relevant, like a loach as a slip into the patient will not feel the pain into the needle. It is best to wear disposable rubber gloves before stabbing blood, so that patients will feel that you are more formal, but also to protect ourselves, and after stabbing blood directly after the gloves a throw, hands are also very good cleaning. If it is in the human anatomy with arteries, first feel with your hands to see if the blood vessels have a pulsating sensation, avoiding the arterial vasculature, there are also folk who specialize in stabbing the arterial vasculature, but the general public stabbing blood is best not to stab the arteries. If the stagnant blood for a long time, the internal pressure is relatively high, often this phenomenon of the jet, if the patient is standing position stabbing blood, the pressure is also large, the column of blood shot far away can have a couple of meters so far. So novices, if you stab down that blood a jet out do not freak out, very normal. As long as it is not an artery, the blood will not have a regular undulating spray, but when the internal pressure is too large, the venous stasis will also have the phenomenon of undulation with breathing, that is normal, do not be nervous, the jet out of the stasis of blood after a while will slowly slow down the speed, the color will also be from the beginning of the black to black-red to brown to red to the final bright red. I prick the blood is generally based on the color to judge the amount, rather than according to milliliters to specify the amount of bleeding. Of course, this is only after a detailed understanding of the patient’s physical and medical condition. The amount of blood pricked varies, not that the more the better, sometimes too much is not enough. This is based on clinical experience to decide, so the blood is not as simple as it seems, the same similar symptoms, perhaps a couple of drops to see the effect, perhaps a couple of hundred milliliters of blood is not yet seen. The premise must be based on the patient’s condition and system to decide, if there is no blood stasis, or the body is already blood deficient patients, too much blood will harm people. My opinion is that the blood stasis should be released moderately over a little bit, if the blood stasis is not released, the effect often does not reach the ideal, after the blood stasis is released and then moderate the normal blood released a little bit, to help accelerate the healing of patients. The blood stabbing of the lower back is also mainly looking for reaction points or stasis, and more can bleed up to one or two hundred milliliters, which is very effective. Mitsubishi needle blood pricking is usually done after the natural bleeding has stopped, plus cupping, which can more thoroughly pull out the remaining blood stasis in the body. I usually use an alcoholic cotton ball to ignite the cupping pot until it is hot, but not at a temperature that can burn the skin, and then suck it up. What plastic vacuum jars, should not advocate, as no medical skills of the general public with the use or can, as a doctor, do not do that not a little technical content of things. Really good results, or to use the fire can, the reason it is called a fire can, there must be fire, fire to produce heat, only fire can be able to activate blood stasis, drive away the cold and damp ah. Bloodletting for headaches, whether rheumatic, traumatic, neurological, blood stasis, migraine, the effect is very good, some patients are not too obvious blood vessels in the temple area, then use a towel, put it on the patient’s neck, let the patient pull the towel sideways, tighten the compression of the ipsilateral carotid artery, the blood vessels in the temple will immediately bulge, it is good to tie the needle. Headache stabbing blood is best to bleed a little better, the patient immediately after the blood release is not painful, the mind is also a clear. Many people like to cupping patients in the temples, I think it is best not to add cupping to the temporal artery blood stabbing, that is easy to squeeze the temporal artery caused by the patient dizziness and swelling and other uncomfortable phenomena, so that the natural bleeding out of the dry can be done, the needle tied, bleeding enough, there is no need to cupping. It is best to wear disposable gloves when the doctor bleeds, I am performing a blood stabbing to facilitate filming, so I did not wear gloves. I do not advocate unarmed blood stabbing, unhygienic, in case there is a broken finger skin, but also easy to infect disease. Especially the head bloodletting, inevitably touch the patient’s face, your hands stained with blood and to touch people’s faces, even if the patient does not accuse you, people will be very uncomfortable, wear disposable latex gloves to patients feel very good. Some people think that the Mitsubishi needle blood stabbing incision is large, easy to infect, but also unsightly, and pain is relatively large, in fact, are misunderstandings. Mitsubishi needle blood need a certain skill, and to often practice after skilled to master good, Chinese medicine is a lot of medical techniques is very personal characteristics, the same thing that is not called Chinese medicine, that is Western medicine. So Chinese medicine acupuncture without a certain foundation and practical experience, it is impossible to use well, that is normal, if anyone can master, it is easy to become a famous doctor, but not normal. And as some smart people, they will come up with some methods that can be quickly replicated, so that students without a little foundation can also quickly master, that is mainly to meet the need to run training courses. Mitsubishi needle tied up, there will be no obvious needle holes, tied up the needle will not feel pain at all, especially the facial temples stabbing blood, need some experience to stab well, stabbing bad will affect the effectiveness of the treatment, and affect the facial beauty, detrimental to the eye. Many junior doctors are nervous when stabbing blood, or sluggish, it is not easy to bleed, if the patient stabbing blood bruises under the skin, or because the stabbing blood does not come out plus cupping after leaving a sun mark, it is very unattractive. A doctor who is sluggish or hesitant, who is afraid, will have a very different healing effect from the one that comes out of the needle, and the one that seems to be very light and casual, which is not surprising because of the difference in the amount of intention. That’s why I often say that as a doctor, the mind is very important, fearless mind in order to play your skills thoroughly. The needle hole after the Mitsubishi needle piercing blood, even if magnified, the eye of the needle is just like this, and the face has a small red mole in general, basically does not affect the aesthetics. The needle hole after bloodletting should be disinfected with 75% alcohol cotton and wiped clean, this is very important, must pay attention to disinfection, we can have no efficacy, but absolutely no infection. I have seen many of my peers in acupuncture use 95% medical alcohol to disinfect, they think that a higher concentration of alcohol disinfection may be better, even cupping is also used black cotton balls dip in the bottle of alcohol, disinfection is also to take the group of cotton balls dip in this bottle of alcohol. In fact, 75% ethanol disinfection is the best, I was in Beijing 309 hospital in 1999, an orthopedic director told me a lot of ideas about surgical disinfection, so over the years, I engaged in acupuncture acupuncture hook and knife blood and so never a case of infection and inflammation of patients. After disinfection, a liquid band-aid is applied externally, so that the eye of the needle will not become infected and red, and the patient will not feel pain at home, and the needle hole will heal very quickly.
