"Bleeding" is an ancient and effective method of "removing fire" in traditional Chinese medicine. Because the auricular apex is easier to locate and operate than other bleeding parts of auricular points, and the pain is relatively light, so the auricular apex bloodletting is the most widely used. Chinese medicine believes that "getting angry means getting angry", so the symptoms of getting angry are mostly manifested in the throat and above. The liver is called "the official of a general" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is closely related to emotional activities. The auricular apex is dominated by the liver meridian in the auricle micro meridian, and the liver function is abnormal, which is easy to produce symptoms of liver fire. At this point, the tip of the ear can bleed.

Rub your ears red with your hands before bleeding, so it's much easier to squeeze out blood. After puncture, squeeze out the blood by hand, wipe the blood with cotton balls, and then squeeze until 2~3 cotton balls are all blood.
