The advantages and disadvantages of bleeding on the face

Many people choose bloodletting during cupping, because it is very effective in reducing fever and clearing fire. However, few people choose the face when cupping, because there are fewer acupuncture points on the face, and it is easy to have some uneven positions when cupping. The most important thing is that it will affect the appearance. What are the advantages and disadvantages of bloodletting on their faces?

1The benefits of cupping and bloodletting

Cupping and bloodletting can reduce fever and relieve fire

Cupping is a purgative method and its effect will be better when combined with acupuncture and bloodletting. Cupping and blood-letting can help eliminate the evil heat in the body and balance the yin and yang in the body. Suitable for people with excessive heat in the body or fever due to infection.

Cupping and bloodletting can reduce swelling

Swelling, pain, and limited mobility caused by limb injuries are mostly caused by blood stasis. Cupping and bloodletting can dredge the blood in the affected area, allowing the blood to flow smoothly and naturally reduce swelling. According to clinical observations, the effect is effective for both new and old injuries.

Cupping and bloodletting can relieve pain

According to traditional Chinese medicine, pain means obstruction. Most pain syndromes are caused by qi stagnation, blood stasis, and meridian blockage. Cupping and bloodletting can dredge the meridians and prevent congestion. It is very effective for various pain syndromes such as neuralgia, joint pain, sciatica, etc.

Cupping and bloodletting can reduce inflammation and detoxify

Some infectious diseases can be treated by cupping and bloodletting at the affected area, which can help dissipate inflammation and expel toxins with the blood. If a person is bitten by a venomous snake, cupping should be performed immediately on the wound to let the blood out, which can allow the venom to be discharged with the blood and relieve moderate symptoms.

Cupping and bloodletting have a calming effect

According to clinical observations, cupping and bloodletting have certain therapeutic effects on the treatment of mania, insomnia, hysteria, colds, etc. This effect may be because cupping and bloodletting can regulate blood and qi, open up the meridians, and make the blood and qi of the internal organs calm.

Cupping and bloodletting can be used for first aid

The first aid function has always been valued by ancient doctors and is also widely circulated among the people. For acute illnesses such as heat stroke, convulsions, sha syndrome, coma, high blood pressure, snake bites, etc., the danger can often be immediately relieved after cupping and bloodletting treatment. It should be noted that there are strict requirements on the location and degree of bloodletting. People who have not received systematic training should not try it blindly.
