Although bloodletting has a certain therapeutic effect, such as regulating blood vessels, dredging meridians and expelling toxins, Chinese medicine experts point out that bloodletting is not a panacea for all diseases and needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining hygiene and disinfection during bloodletting treatment to avoid infectious diseases.
Although bloodletting has a history of thousands of years in Chinese medicine, it is no longer a common treatment in modern medicine. Modern medicine pays more attention to the treatment of diseases through drugs, surgery, physical therapy and other means, while bloodletting is generally only used under very special circumstances and must be carried out under strict medical conditions.
