What is the principle of cupping and blood-letting? Cupping and blood-letting mainly involves pricking the skin with a skin needle. After the skin becomes rosy and there is a little bleeding, cupping is performed on the pricking area to regulate the functions of the internal organs and meridians, to achieve the purpose of harmonizing qi and blood, unblocking the meridians, detoxifying and purging fire, and restoring the body to normal.

What are the benefits of cupping and bloodletting? 1. Bloodletting to reduce fever

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fever can be divided into Yang-excess fever and Yin-deficiency fever, and cupping and bloodletting are suitable for relieving Yang-excess fever. Because Yang Qi is strong, blood will inevitably be strong. Cupping and bloodletting can reduce the strong blood, thereby reducing the evil heat in the blood vessels and restoring the body's Qi and blood to normal.

2. Bleeding to relieve pain

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diseases with internal pain symptoms must be caused by blockage in the meridians. Cupping and bloodletting can be used to treat the disease, which can directly bring out the stagnant pathogens in the meridians and adjust the blockage. Once the meridians are unblocked, the pain will be relieved. Sore throat, migraine and other symptoms can be treated by cupping and bloodletting.

3. Bloodletting to relieve fire

Internal disturbance of fire and heat can lead to a variety of symptoms, causing patients to experience sores in the mouth and tongue, swelling and pain in the limbs, irritability, fever and other symptoms. The method of cupping and bloodletting can stop the fire and heat and discharge it with the blood, which is suitable for the treatment of a variety of heat syndromes.

4. Bloodletting to reduce swelling and relieve pain

When the body's meridians are stagnant due to stagnation of qi and blood, swelling and pain will occur. Cupping and bloodletting can directly eliminate the stagnant qi, blood and pathogens in the local meridians, restore the smooth flow of the meridians, and achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain.

5. Bloodletting and detoxification

When the body is in a pathological state, it cannot resist toxins due to its own dysfunction, which will lead to the generation of heat toxins in the body and symptoms such as sores, carbuncles and ulcers. Cupping and bloodletting can not only expel the toxins that have invaded the body with the blood, but also regulate blood and qi, restore the body's functions to normal, and inhibit the spread or recurrence of pathogens.

6. Bleeding to relieve itching

Itching symptoms on the skin are a manifestation of the presence of wind evil in the blood vessels. Therefore, Chinese medicine has the treatment principle of "treating the blood before treating the wind". Cupping and bloodletting can regulate blood and qi, promote the smooth flow of blood vessels, force the wind evil to dissipate, and achieve the effect of dispelling wind and relieving itching.

2. If cupping and blood-letting are excessive, it can easily lead to qi and blood deficiency and insufficient yang energy in the patient, which will affect the blood supply to the heart and brain over time.
