As for the effectiveness of the treatment, bloodletting is a niche treatment used in select cases for treating particular symptoms (such as Skin diseases, Sprains, Headache, High Blood Pressure, High Fever, Swelling etc), and is not a treatment for general wellness. As such, we insist on a consultation with our physician beforehand so as to assess suitability of the treatment.
A 5 minutes bloodletting treatment is considered the optimal duration, as agreed by most experienced practitioners. It is not a case of the longer the treatment, the better. Any prolonged bloodletting might result in excessive blood loss and lead to unwanted health complications.
Bloodletting is used as a treatment for fever, hypertension (high blood pressure), lung inflammation, and pulmonary edema (excess fluid in the lungs).
Bloodletting is a specialized practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves the targeted draining of small amounts of blood from certain areas in order to restore equilibrium in the human body. As a result, it’s regularly used to treat inflammation-related symptoms like a sore throat.
