Therapeutic Bloodletting

Bleeding is a time honored therapeutic mentioned as far back as in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon of Medicine.
Three of the nine needles mentioned in that text are specifically designed for bloodletting.
In modern times, however this practice is far less commonly used.
This lecture is intended to reaquaint practitioners with the underlying principles of bleeding and to effective techniques that can be immediately useful in the clinic, in some cases where more ordinary techniques have not been able to resolve the problem.
