Can ear bleeding cure skin diseases?

There is a folk remedy that cutting the ears and letting the blood flow can treat psoriasis. This method of treatment can be said to be very unscientific. As a patient, you must not use this folk remedy. It not only treats the symptoms of the disease, but may also have adverse effects on your health. Bleeding from the tip of the ear is effective in treating styes, and it is also a common treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. But treating skin diseases does not really work as it should.

Can ear bleeding cure skin diseases?

The method of treating psoriasis by ear cutting is: only cutting the ear to bleed, no medication is taken, and all medications for treating psoriasis taken before treatment are stopped. The incision site is equivalent to the pressure-reducing groove on the back of the ear moving upward and outward to the back of the helix. The amount of bleeding varies according to the patient's age and constitution. In fact, cutting the ears and letting blood flow is not a very scientific treatment, and patients are advised to make careful choices.

Bleeding at the tip of the ear can also treat styes

Routinely disinfect the ear tip point on the same side of the affected eye, and use a three-edged needle or injection needle to let 2-3 drops of blood from the ear tip point, once a day, 2-5 times in total.

Stye refers to an acute inflammation of the eyelid gland, which falls into the category of "needle eye" or "stealing needle" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause and pathogenesis of the disease are mostly due to external wind-heat and internal heat in the spleen and stomach, which goes up along the meridians, attacks the eyelids, and accumulates into pus.

Treatment should be aimed at dispelling wind, clearing heat and detoxifying. The Seven Secrets of Diagnosis and Treatment says: “The disease of rickets is caused by the generation of poison in the spleen and stomach, commonly known as stealing needles.

However, before bloodletting, the symptoms must be accurately identified and bloodletting can be used only if it is indeed a real evil. If the underlying condition is deficiency and the superficial is real, be careful not to attack the evil too much and stop when the disease is cured, otherwise it is easy to damage the vital energy.

Bloodletting therapy has a long history. According to legend, Bian Que cured Prince Guo's "corpse fainting" by bloodletting at the Baihui acupoint, and Hua Tuo used acupuncture and bloodletting to treat Cao Cao's "head wind disease".
