How strange! Why doesn't acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine bleed?

1 Why does acupuncture not bleed? The needles we usually see usually belong to the shallow part. Needles stuck in the skin will not puncture capillaries, so there is generally no bleeding. Another reason is that acupuncture needles are generally small, and the pressure on cells in the skin is not enough to make them bleed.

Does acupuncture bleed? Accurately speaking, not all acupuncture methods will not bleed. For example, the article "Magnetic Medicine" in Huangdi Neijing mentioned the treatment of lumbago caused by imbalance of yin and yang, and one of them was to treat "moderate heat asthma" caused by lumbago, and it was necessary to "stab the foot with less yin, and stab the stomach with bleeding", that is, to stab the stomach. This example shows that acupuncture treatment can also lead to bleeding.

Acupuncture must be "accurate". Next, let's talk about why the needle we see doesn't bleed. Similarly, in Huangdi Neijing, the treatise on Su Wen's porcelain mainly discusses the depth difference of acupuncture. Acupuncture needles are very particular, mainly in a quasi-word.

If you want to treat it by biting, you can't hurt your muscles; Stab the tendons, not the meat; To stab the meat, not to hurt the pulse; To stab the pulse, not to hurt the skin; To stab the skin, not the meat; To stab the meat, not the muscles; Stabbing tendons can't hurt bones. The first four explanations are that acupuncture should not be too shallow if it is deep, and the last three explanations are that acupuncture should not be too deep if it is shallow. In short, it is fragmented, no more, no less.

Acupuncture must be in place. Why are you doing this? For example, if the disease is in the skin, the needle should be stuck in the skin, so as not to hurt the meat, otherwise it will bring harm to the body; If the disease is in the bone, the needle should go deep into the bone. If you only touch the tendon, you have to pull it out. Instead of removing the disease from the bone, it will cause damage to the tendon.
