Bloodletting therapy is a treatment that lacks clinical research, and there are so-called bloodletting therapies in the early medical history all over the world.
Bloodletting therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is a therapeutic method to release a small amount of blood by needling some acupoints or superficial veins. During the operation, the skin was disinfected routinely, and a triangular needle or a thick filiform needle was used for quick puncture and quick withdrawal. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to puncture too deeply. Commonly used for heatstroke, headache, sore throat, furuncle, low back pain, etc.
