In what situations can autohemotherapy not be used?

In our lives, there are some novel therapies in traditional Chinese medicine. Take moxibustion for example. Before this, many people did not know what it was specifically. However, as the application of moxibustion became more and more widespread, people felt good after trying it, so this method became popular. In fact, there are some relatively novel therapies in traditional Chinese medicine, such as autohemotherapy. So, in what cases can't autohemotherapy be used?

Autohemotherapy has scientific basis, but it must be performed in a regular medical institution under sterile conditions.

Autohemotherapy is actually drawing one's own venous blood and injecting it subcutaneously. It is a nonspecific stimulation therapy that can produce a nonspecific desensitization effect, promote leukocyte phagocytosis, and thus enhance the body's immunity. It is used to treat vitiligo, chronic urticaria, systemic pruritus, generalized eczema and dermatitis, allergic purpura, certain bullous diseases, psoriasis, recurrent furunculosis and folliculitis, juvenile acne, etc.

Expand your knowledge:

1. Whole blood therapy: It refers to drawing 5 to 10 ml of blood from the patient's vein (without adding anticoagulants or drugs) and then directly injecting it into the deep muscles of the patient's buttocks. 1 to 2 times a week, generally 10 times constitute a course of treatment.

2. Hemolytic therapy: Use a syringe with a specification of 10 ml or more to draw 5 ml of normal saline for injection, and then draw 5 ml of venous blood as above. Gently shake the solution thoroughly to mix the injection water and venous blood. After 2 to 3 minutes, the blood cells will be dissolved. When the mixture becomes transparent, perform intramuscular injection. 2 to 3 times a week, 10 times as a course of treatment.

3. Driven by profit, some domestic medical institutions provide so-called blood therapy to patients by collecting blood from patients and processing it through magnetic supplementation, adsorption, radio frequency, purification, and drug addition, or by using physical methods to directly process the blood in the patient's blood vessels. Since most of these methods have not undergone scientific clinical research and verification, there are potential safety risks and should attract the attention of relevant departments.
