Bloodletting therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is also known as "acupuncture bloodletting therapy." It is a method of treating diseases by piercing or scratching the superficial meridians of specific acupuncture points in the human body with a three-edged needle, a thick fine needle or a small sharp knife to release a small amount of blood, thereby discharging the internal heat and toxins. It has the effects of reducing swelling and relieving pain, dispelling wind and relieving itching, opening the orifices and relieving heat, suppressing vomiting and diarrhea, and unblocking meridians and activating collaterals. Bloodletting therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is generally used for symptoms such as excessive heat and toxicity, blood stasis, blocked meridians, and stagnation of qi and blood. Therefore, if the above symptoms can be clearly diagnosed, bloodletting therapy can be used.

Generally speaking, bloodletting therapy is harmless to the body, because Chinese medicine bloodletting only involves puncturing the skin, or using cupping to suck out blood. The amount of bleeding is very small and will not affect normal physiology. Of course, this method is not absolutely harmless, as piercing the skin may cause infection, or piercing too deeply may leave scars, etc. However, this will not happen if performed properly.
