What are the benefits of ten-finger bloodletting?

Bloodletting is one of the treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine. According to the "Inner Canon of Medicine", the doctor bleeds the superficial blood vessels in certain parts of the patient according to the patient's condition, so as to achieve the purpose of activating blood circulation and relieving qi, thereby alleviating and treating certain diseases. So, does the ten-finger bloodletting therapy have any scientific basis, and what are the benefits of the ten-finger bloodletting therapy? There is also a saying among the people that stroke patients can be treated with bloodletting from ten fingers. Is this true?

1. Benefits of bloodletting: antipyretic effect

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are two main types of fever: one is Yang excess fever, and the other is Yin deficiency lung heat. The antipyretic effect of bloodletting applies to the former.

Because abundant Yang Qi will inevitably lead to abundant blood, bloodletting can reduce the abundance of blood, thereby reducing the evil heat in the blood vessels and allowing the body's Qi and blood to return to normal.

2. Benefits of bloodletting: analgesic effect

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "if the circulation is unobstructed, there will be no pain" and "if there is pain, there is obstruction." This means that if a disease causes internal pain, there must be blockages in the meridians.

Bloodletting therapy can directly bring out the pathogenic factors that are stagnant in the meridians and adjust the blocked situation. Once the meridians are unblocked, the pain can be stopped immediately.

3. Benefits of bloodletting: detoxification

The detoxification effect mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the symptoms that appear when the body is unable to resist the toxic evil due to its own dysfunction under pathological conditions, such as "red silk carbuncle" caused by excessive toxic fire, and sores, carbuncles and ulcers caused by the infiltration of toxic evil.

4. Bleeding from ten fingers to treat stroke?

Bloodletting in Traditional Chinese Medicine is a traditional therapy used for some acute conditions. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, "bloodletting therapy" does have the effect of refreshing the brain, calming the liver and stopping wind. It has a refreshing effect on fainting caused by high blood pressure, sudden unconsciousness, fainting caused by rage, etc. But first of all, this method has the risk of infection, and for patients with large-area cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and brain herniation, "bloodletting therapy" has basically no effect. The most important thing for family members to do is to send the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.

Once a stroke occurs, the person must be sent to the hospital in time to gain precious time for further treatment and rescue. If someone in your family suddenly develops symptoms of a stroke, don't panic. Let the patient lie still. If vomiting occurs, clean the vomit from the mouth and throat immediately and tilt the head to one side to prevent secretions from entering the respiratory tract or blocking the trachea. Then call the "120" emergency number in time and wait for emergency treatment.
