Although bloodletting therapy is relatively common, it also has certain harms and side effects to the human body. Because bloodletting therapy will cause bacteria to enter the pores of the skin, leading to bacterial infection, and it will also easily cause anemia, which has certain side effects on the human body. Cervical spondylosis can usually be treated through traction or massage therapy.

Side effects of bloodletting

Bloodletting therapy, also known as cupping therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, is mainly used to remove blood stasis in the body, thereby achieving the effect of unblocking meridians and removing blood stasis.

However, bloodletting therapy also has some side effects. The first one is that it is unhygienic. It is very easy to get bacterial infection during bloodletting. The second side effect is that if the amount of bloodletting is not properly controlled, it can easily cause anemia.

If the amount of bloodletting is large, it should not be done more than 2 times a week. One course of treatment is 1 to 3 times. If the bleeding is difficult to stop, apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
